Interesting and quite attractive; the plus is all the work/parts on it, the negative is the slightly sketchy history/mileage and the slightly hesitant admission of an accident before he owned the car....are you ready for a few rattles between it's (accident) history and additional work done?

I completely agree. It wouldn't interest me.

Seems overpriced considering the miles and aside from the body kit doesn’t seem overly customized. Also I would never buy a wrapped car given that you can’t see and inspect the paint.

Thoroughly investigate that "minor" odometer issue.
No, I wouldn't buy that modified car, especially at that price.

Sorry but my own personal experience with CarHoax is they get all sorts of **** wrong.

For example, the Z06 I sold last year, they had it listed it was in an accident (false) and there was structural damage to the passenger front (wrong), there was damage to the rear (wrong) and there was damage to the front (wrong)

Took me 2 weeks to get them to remove their bullshit

How did you get them to retract it? I have a couple buddies with similar scenarios and CarFax told them both to pound sand.

The "accident" they reported was while parked and someone backed into it. Was minor but I did let insurance handle it. I also keep ALL paperwork on all my vehicles so I contacted CarHoax, sent them over both the insurance report and repair invoice from the shop. Took about 2 weeks

(only damage was the passenger front nose..period)

I kind of like the body mods (except for the rear glass), but with the accident history and 54K miles, no way I could justify $38K for the car.

Aftermarket add ons rarely, if ever, increase the value of a car. You really need to look at this car from that perspective. A 2014, with 54,000 miles, 2LT manual with prior but minimal (assumed) damage is the value you need to determine. Having said that, I don't spend that kind of money on anything that shows any damage with all the cars that are out there.
