what do you think?

im looking to buy an FD. well, i found one. BUT, it has been stolen, so that means it will most likly have some problems(besides the trashed interior). it has 66K miles on it and it has a manual tranny. its being sold for 5K. so do you think it would be worth the time? or do you think i should keep looking?

well if you are lookin to start somewhat from scratch then this is yours, but if you want something with a lil more than wait it off. 5 isnt a bad deal. thats just what i think.

Did you notice that it says "Look at these recently sold examples" on those pages?

How about this: $409,660 2004 FERRARI ENZO Has sustained front end body damage that is readily repairable. Only 401 miles. FL-13-111

The exterior looks fine to me... just some minor adjustments here and there but the motor is the biggest problem... if it was stolen I'm assuming it was beating the **** out of it..... now that makes me worried...
