is it stock? What year? There are some thread on the various sections. Like for instance, if its a 3rd gen (93-95) then there should be pleanty of info in that section or you can make a post there asking 3rd gen guys. If its a 1st or 2nd gen you could do the same in thier sections.
Some other things you might want to include in your new post would be the yr, model, miles, any mods, and how well they took care of it (if you know).

Well, make sure it is running first.
Heh. Good joke, eh?
Give us some miles, year, mods, condition of the car? Also ask the seller any questions like does it have any cylinders, to see if the seller knows what he is selling. I do that to all the sellers down here, they say it has 4 cylinders. Also ask how many pistons it has, and agree with him on what he says. Good comedic stuff.
By the way, that was a ******* joke.

Man, I can't believe how many e-bay or autotrader ads I've seen where they list the car as a 4 cylinder, and continue to claim it as such in the description or when you talk to them. It's so precious!
EDIT: lol, that reminds me, I have a CLASSIC video of a guy with a GTR mustang (yes, he put a GTR sticker on his mustang) talking about how it's turboed, and a rotary, and has new pistons, etc. Very very funny.

dude start it up and when the engine has warmed up the tac should sit on 800-100
without stuttering or movin if it moves really distinctively there may be a smaal problem in the engine bay.
