No. As long as it has been taken care off, the big ? is the price.

Only if you are worried about the fact that the engine core warranty will run out in 15k miles. Do you know if the car is still on its original engine or not?

+1
I would recommend looking for one with less mileage. May have to pay a bit more, but the benefits IMO far outweigh the cost...

hey, thank you very much for your fast answers...

Well it is a very risky business....

Why?

because it is a 2006 with 85k miles, and title rebuild...

in the other side the price it is a little more of 7k....

it is a shinka (sorry I don't know if spell like this)

What do you think?

Thanks

Unless you can get it for 4-5k including TTL. Walk away and search for a better car.

If you plan to strip the engine out, put in a custom engine, and do a lot of track work this car is not worth your time or money.
