There are a lot of goodies in there, so I would say that it is probably worth the money - depending on how good you are at body work (or if you even care about that).

My only concern with the car is that he did not say anything about the motor. 160K is a lot of miles for an original motor (not saying it is not possible, just that it MUST be near death).

Yeah, that's about the milage where I would start to panic on a TII. Hell, my N/A only has 133k on the stock engine and I'm starting to worry.

I agree with ponykiller. Also, It's only normal to correlate all those mods done to that FC with the owners drivers habits. With the above mentioned, In correlation to the price, I'd be weary. But thats just me.

160k is a LOT of miles if it's an original engine, and a turbo engine at that! I'd suggest you do a compression check if possible.

... compression test... if it checks out... I'd say its a good buy.
