depends if you want to modify it a lot or not. if you plan on modding your first car a lot then I would just suggest getting a higher mileage car so the price is cheaper and you can swap out the stock motor. if you are mostly just going to do small mods then that looks like a good candidate, although the price is about $1500 too high, unless it has insanely low mileage. Also those wheels aren't my style.. almost look like 13's. I would definately take those off and sell them to some dumbass high school cheerleader who thinks they are cute
