I wouldn't call that a "steal of a deal" but it's definatly a fair price.

it's been repainted but looks to be clean

I can't tell from the pictures but it looks like the window tint has been removed? not sure why anyone would do this but its hard to tell from the pics.

nice car though. worth 8k for sure with a reman in it. Especially out west.

kk just trying to find out.. getting a lot of different answers left and right... Thing is ill come out and say it now. The car wont stay stock . Im adding bigger turbo , exhaust and injectors. I want 300whp area i will go bigger just not right away.

So thats why im trying to judge the price. If ima be dropping more into it, is it better to get a straight up project car?

Only issue is i know its great condition unlike other cars that may have seen harsher weather. Im open to anything the car is actually posted up on this forum in the back somewhere...

I don't know why you'd spend 8K on a car you're just going to dump money into anyway. For 300 hp, that's a lot of modding.

Find a car that's cheaper for this kind of project. Have the engine rebuilt and ported. On that motor in that car, cracking it open to port it would be pointless just to have to build the engine again.

Well, you're going to need a turbo car for sure. I think the most power out of an n/a was 200 hp. Other than that, likely an aftermarket EMS (Haltech), large streetport, 1/2 bridge or full bridgeport, big turbo, big fuel pump with large injectors, that sort of thing. Full exhaust wouldn't hurt either. I can't price any of that stuff, but someone else likely has a good idea.

^ You wouldn't have to have to port it to get in that power range.

Well whatever Snrub, I was just sayin that if rebuilding, it wouldn't hurt.
