After reading the description I would have to say that car should be avoided. You are going to end up putting a lot more money into that car sooner rather than later.

Just curious, what makes you say that?

I think it looks like a decent ride, just a tad bit high on price for the miles.

Just some of the cons and a few phrases really. In the overall description reads to me as a car that has be driven aggressively at least for the time this person has owned it. Also, "Chassis has 114k on it"..ok...so has the engine been replaced or rebuilt at some time? if so, what are the miles on the engine? The add seems to exaggerate a lot also on the performance of the car. Out perform a car 10x that price..? Maybe, but my guess is the rich fella couldn't drive. I mean yeah, it is under $13k, but you can spend a couple grand more and get a Z06 with more hp/torque right out of the gate, and I promise you won't be sorry you did. Honestly like I'm a skeptic by nature/training, so please don't be offended by my opinions. It does depend a lot on what you want to get out of the car. Wax/show or track/autocross too. Best of luck
