Did he pull the R1 spoiler off? They normally have one unless he removed it.

Corrosive,

R1 or not, sounds like a good deal. Make sure to have a compression test done on the car just in case. The price of a compression test could save you a few thousand later.

There are some great rotary shops down in Texas. You should be able to have the car checked out at one of them to make sure everything is fine.

I know the car looks great, but don't leap before you look. I did, and it was the biggest mistake I've made (in the last 5 years that is).

I love my car now, but I should have checked the car out first.
