Default Need some serious purchasing help!

Hey guys whats up, just need some SERIOUS advice, I'm makin a deal on a GS-R but I got the butterflies, seems like I gotta reasure my instinct is just acting up for no reason.

Ok so bro I'm getting this killer deal of a GSR, it's 55000mls for 10500$, great cond, only mods have been the intake and it comes with the original intake. MINOR bro, MINOR body blemishes (like these scratches here and a little bump there). I get suspicious start pourin the Q's the dudes like, so ya I pointed out this overpaint on the drivers side door (after market) and he "forgets" what happened, later on he says "oh some bricks fell on it"...I dont see any OBVIOUS frame damage but I'm shitless that this dudes gonna either **** me over or give a great deal. Also that side of the door has problems with the window starting to open up...no grinding in any of the gears the engine sounds good (still worried he might have ****ed with it, without me knowin aye). Ok so like I said, looks STOCK (thats good I don't trust anyone elses work u kno, heh) so is the radio n shit (appareantly, who knows if he had one in there). BRAND NEW tires, dno WHY he changed the old, and no clutch changes (says hes been driving stick)...

So, I find this site about RECALLS for the 99 GSR

http://www.alldata.com/TSB/990113_en.html

WTF bro, is this for real? "1.8L DOHC (VTEC) MFI" exactly what im gettin and he could be pullin a fast one. I dont understand the site, I need some SERIOUS help here.

Anyone got ANY precautions I can take before the final transition, what else is there to know about this car? Should the motor say "honda motor co.?" I've only seen HONDA MOTOR CO on an ACURA with the ACURA sign on it, looks like VTEC 4 cyl but Im scared, help me out dudes! THNX
