Should I do it?
Do you think I should do this? It's a 1999 Integra GSR with 69k miles. The guy want's $6,000 for it shipped to my door. The problem is that it's in Italy. He said if it doesn't look like the pictures and doesn't run as good as he says I can ship it back. Here's the list of mods done to it:
ENGINE
C SPORTS 4-2-1 HEADER. AEM CAM GEATS,INTAKE B&M FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR,FUEL RAIL,MSD IGNITION,MUFFLER, ZEX DRY NITROUS KIT,LOTS OF EXTRA CROME.
EXTERIOR:BOMEX BODY KIT,CUSTOM PEARL WHITE PAINT,18TENZO R SHU-4 RIMS,DROPPED WITH COILOVERS,DRILLED AND SLOTTED ROTORS,4 NEW TIRES
INTERIOR:CUSTOM TWO TONE LEATHER, 2 TVS IN VISORS, DVD,CUSTOM GAGES.
STEREO: 2 PHONEIX GOLD 12 SPEAKERS,14 CHANNEL 500 AMP 12 CHANNEL AMP PHOENIX GOLD,KENWOOD CD MP3 TAPE PLAYER.AND MUCH MORE.
Sorry for the all caps but I'm to lazy to re-type it. I really wanted to mod the car myself but this is to good of a deal. Here's some pics.

no offense but in my opinion, the car is fugly and I dont think its a good idea to buy a car from another country. Just wait patiently and you will find a good deal in your area.

IMO i think the car looks nice. BUT overseas? and it is already done up. I often wonder why people buy pre-modded cars. Just wait for a type r 
and mod it urself. Add some of your own personality into it. Not one from tony macaroni.
How much is freight for that anyways?

I dunno what I'm gonna do yet. The thing is that im 17, I really wan't to mod the car myself but the job I have it will take forever to get cash to do it. Also if it really runs as well as he says and is in as good condition as the pictures show, that's such a good deal.
Arent Italian cars RHD as well?

ignore the warning if you want to, but when you're out the $6k, remember that I said it was a scam. A friend of mine got caught up in this very same deal a few months ago. See if the guy will let you put the money in escrow (an escrow account YOU choose - not one he chooses that's run by his brother) until you get the car. Betcha he won't. Or, get the VIN and run a carfax. Last time it showed the car he was selling was on a lot in Florida.
