just be patient and make sure u know its a good car don't just go by the mileage. it could have a 100k on it and last for another 2 yrs or have 30. and die next week. watch for excessive smoke, white smoke, smell the exhaust if it has a sweet smell to it thats coolant and steer clear of it. listen for surging or rough idle.
use craigslist, autotrader or cars.com i have found almost all of my cars on there. and have found some decent deals.


13k is way to steep for one with 82k. i bought mine in october and it had 15k miles on it and i payed $14000. and it came with a carfax and the service report on it from mazda. also was garage kept and never saw snow (till i owned it)

if u guys need any powdercoating done check out www.hp-powdercoatings.com his name is tim and does it out of his garage he does great work he did my entire intake system for $90 and also does ceramic coating for exhaust. i picked this up from him this morning. It was a little scratched up so i had the bar repowdered in "wet red" and the mounting plates in "wet black"

yeah i had my upper and lower intake, intercooler piping, greddy elbow, intercooler, and front side of turbo done in wet black it looks great and all the wet colors are known as super durable so they don't scratch or chip easily.

if it's a sports bar you can get into it's not worth going to.
