    I remember this being discussed here - the deal is that it has 18,000 miles on the new engine. There was speculation that this car really had around 70,000 miles.

    It hasn't had a belt change in 6 years, so you've got to service it immediately (engine out).

    The dealer replaced only the rear tires...that won't cut it on the 348/355 models...because the 348's and 355's are setup so perfectly and so aggressively in their suspensions, and because new tires have a protective chemical compound that takes a couple hundred miles to wear off, you have to change out all 4 tires at the same time.

    Otherwise the car will drive "squrrelly."

    You'll have to check to see if the valve guides and exhaust headers have been fixed on the new engine, as well as whether it has the plastic power steering reservoir (that *always* explodes/fails) or the updated metal unit.

    Air bags need replacing every 10 years, too.

    And the odometer issue on the carfax will haunt any seller.


    But the 6 speed tranny is awesome, as is the entry price.

    Saying the motor was rebuilt always leaves a lot of room for interpretation.

    I would want to see detailed documentation.

    I smell a rat here!

    Look how dirty that engine compartment is..... That is always an instant turnoff for me...

    Yeah, You get what you pay for and with this one you will be shelling out a lot of dough to get it up to speed when you buy it.... Oh, and it will be harder to resell as well.

    THere are better cars out there for sure!
