Is this car worth the money?

Good deal or No?


Just curious... If so I may get it and put a j-spec in my current. Be cool to have 2 FC's!!

Or would this be a better deal?

You mean besides the fact that it is butt ugly and a reject from the fast a furious because it didn't have decals...






The vert is much nicer:




But both are at the top of what I would pay right now...

I wouldn't buy it because it seems like it's already heavly modded. If you are looking to build a car just like that, then I guess it's worth it since you will be saving some money, but if you buy it on and decide that it's not what you really want. You'll be stuck with a car that will be really hard to sell.

I've seen the yellow one listed for sale before - I think it was on ebay. That being said, there is probably a high reserve, or the pics make the car look better than it really is.

I like the 'vert though......

That vert is soooooooooooooooo damn sexy, The yellow can be repainted, but the interior is nasty. SO for the vert IMO.

Aye, I was thinking I had seen the yellow one before as well. And yes that interior is a bit ricy but the outside is a nice color, don't see many mustard yellow's around. I am/was planning on doing a Don Marvel fully built engine but it's going to run over 10k to do what I would like done and the way I would like it done. I'm just shifting through my options before I make a commitment.

Still have Don Marvel at the top of the list though. I hope he is a good as everyone says he is!!

It comes down to money and time. A seller is lucky to recoup half the cost of performance mods. His loss is your gain.
