low miles doesnt mean anything if you have plans to swap the motor out. The stock dx is SLOW, so the only way your gonna get any pep out of it is swaping the motor. You cant even boost that motor to make it better as it handles boost so poorly. A better idea might be to find one with a great looking body but with stupid high miles, the money you save can be used to swap in the motor and do the suspension work you want. No use paying the premium for a low miles motor that your just gonna yank out, and sence its only a y7 its not like there is gonna be a line of people chomping at the bit to buy it from you
