Default Opinions of this GS?

Hopefully this is the right section for this....but anyways, I've been a long time lurker here, and currently drive an 02 accord. However, iv'e been seriously considering selling it and buying a GS instead.

Originally I wanted to buy a completely stock gs and do all the work myself. I enjoy working on my cars.

However, I came across this one on craigslist and was hoping to get some opinions on it. I dont' know too much about VIP stuff yet, but as with all my other hobbies, plan to get into it much more and become a frequent poster on here .

I haven't went to see it yet and am waiting on a VIN, but to get a general idea what do you guys think? Fair price or is he asking too much? One of the biggest advantages of buying a car like this already modded (again, under ideal circumstances I would never buy a car already worked on) is that it'll cost me significantly less money than doing it myself.


Here is the link.

Thanks!

It is definitely less money. Just make sure the maintenance checks out

Good looking out. I don't recall that screename though.


It surely is a good start assuming the aftermarket items do come with it. Not feeling the trunk spoiler and the seller should have cleaned the car first before posting pics.

If everything checks out, it's a great starting point. You can still change things to your liking.

I always say check it out in person first and see how it feels from the drivers seat on a test drive... wait a minute... that's my GS. lol. It comes with everything seen, I have allot of extra parts if you want to pick up some and do some mods yourself...
If your near downtown San Diego feel free to come by and take a look whenever, my schedule is flexible. I will send you the VIN later today... if the guy looking at her this afternoon doesn't pick her up.

-And thanks guys for giving him, or her... the prospective buyer even handed guidance/advice.

By the way, if you don't like the work on that one I have another GS300, it's a 2002 Sports Design dumped on 18inch HRE 540's/Megan coilovers/TTE front lip/Toms rear bumper diffuser lip/TRD strut bar... its not really for sale, but for the right price... lol. Check your PM for my number.
