Exclamation buyer beware lol ...

http://qconlineauction.com/site/view_ad.php?v=164068
needles to say. this car is junk. i drove it and couldnt get it to go fast enough to go into 3rd gear. my 12a has more get up and go to it then this rat trap.
the car looks terrible and was originally an automatic swap.
the exaughst is gone and there are holes in the floor pan.
in all . it would look good as a parts car. however the motor does not seem to be that bad looking and it dosnet smell. it does not look new like the guy claims.
just thought you local quad cities ia/il guys and gals should know rather then wasting a trip out to the boonies to look at this heap.

all the 'jdm' parts too though, forgot to mention those <.<
i will include this though... as i have been told. alot of people are stupid out there and will actually give this gus asking price! as shocking as this is...
but we all have to remember that a person that is familiar is not going to pay top dollar for junk...
had to get that out of the way so nobody thinks i am bashing the honest sellers out there.

LOL, if it's unmolested, how did the 'JDM' parts find thier way into the car. What's so special about a JDM wiring harness anyway, aren't all the harnesses JDM to begin with?
