another thing, is the fact that the guy is so easily wanting to give up a 30,000 mile car with all the money/time he has put into it. something right there puts up a red flag in my head, others will argue trading the car and 2k isnt giving it up that easily. but he would probably take your hatch and that 2k and do a swap himself, then your left with an unknown car already modded by someone else, and not 2000 bucks. and like others said, you have no clue what to expect, when i got my 01 integra and drove it for a 2 hr road trip i kept turning down the radio because i kept hearing noises that i didnt hear driving my girls civic.
