there may be some other problems but he has been and seemed really honest so far. he is already in debt from the car. that is why he can't afford to fix it and sell it. i am not a huge fan of the body kit etc.. but for $2500 i thought it seemed to be a pretty decent deal. thats why i am just trying to get some feedback from the "experts". thanks for the input accordsleeper, i really appreciate it. anyone else?
