make sure you find out if the second timing belt job was done! it is due right now unless it was already done, other than that it looks good.

Not too many mods for a 12v 2.8 anyway... looks like a pretty clean car, that's for sure. I wish my interior was as nice as that.

looks like its missing the lip thing under the front bumper. try getting the price down by mentioning that kind of stuff. also check for any leaks, and check the oil level.
