I hope it works out fine for you! I bought a car from ebay and it was in worse shape than he had mentioned. Get someone to look at the car before you buy it.

I bought my car on eBay half way across the country.
I invested in a plane ticket to see the car and paid for it then. I did not send the money and just have the car delivered. I couldn't afford that risk.

Hopefully your car is just what you expected, and if it is, you'll be just as thrilled with your new car as I am with mine over two years later.

That's a great deal for a car with alot of extras. Now take some of the money you saved and buy an A+A or ECS fmic setup for the procharger, you'll get much better #'s !
