Sup guys, I just wanted to let any fellow kids on this forum lookin for an s14, that one s14 on the ebay for real cheep is a damn scam. A few weeks ago I bought an s14. I still have to get it inspected and plates and all but... there is one s14 I checked out in Florida. It was a POS car. Ima just give the run down on things I noticed wrong with the car as the ebayer claims car is in great condition.

First off he states that the rear bumpper has some paint chips. Those are not paint chips the car has been rear ended and the bumper is real *****ed, you cant see it in the pic. There are some massive dents on the sides of the car that he doesnt talk about and hard to see in the pics. The Antenna is broken, its been torn off. The hood does not close shut, its open a little bit.

When I got there aparently the owner of the place was not there he had sent someone to open the place for us to look at the car, so I asked the guy if I could start the car. I couldnt start the car myself, the guy had to start it for me, it took him about 30 seconds to start the car, and when he did, it sounded like crap, engine needs some serious work. The muffler sounds omg its undescribable its distgusting.

Inside of the car, it smells weird, I dunno what it is, but it dont smell good to me. Cigarette smoke is one thing but anything else I would question. He claims tread is 75%, I dunno bout yall, but on my old car I had some yokohamas on them, awesome tires but they wear faster than normal, and tire tread did not look no 75%, its prolly more like 45-50%

Anyhow I just wanted to let the beware out of the POS car and its cheatin seller. The guy has tons of complaints but fires back with dumb excuses on people with no negatives and great ratings. If I remember anything else I will post other than that, Find something else.
