nordic green /sold

i friend of mine who goes to car auctions all the time to buy cars for his car lotjust bought a 04 nordic green gtpackage 6sp ,leather moonroof.the previous owner took the back seats out and installed speakers .also installed cold air intake . he bought the car in greensboro n.c .he stoled this car for $14,500.00.if you are still a member here whats wrong with it and why did you let it go sooo cheap.i drove the car today and it did not seem any fast than my stock ,but i have not had my butt dyno calibrated in awhile.they also have the borela exhaust with not cats .had it de-badged and cut a hole in the front end where the badge was to allow more air in .who ever you are you did a great job on the mods but i would have left the back seats in.please let me hear from you because i might have to 8's sitting in the garage soon.

a. car might have been leased. leases are the number 1 reason cars go to auction.
b. if car was leased, leasing co already got their pound of flesh for the damage the the lessor committed
c. most mods, especially the ones that you cited reduced the value of the car:
no cats - no longer street legal
no back seat - unless this is a show car, turning a 4 seater into a 2 seater makes it worthless
hole cut in the hood - doh! I don't care how beautiful that hole is, the value of the car was reduced by the cost of buying, installing and painting a new hood.

Yeah.

A friend just cut his front bumper for his 350Z showcar, but it was a slick piece of machinery. Varis Arising Intake Duct.
