To see the pictures. http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/1859848061.html

Bought the car a few months ago and i have 2 many projects and im moving...the previous owner had the motor rebuilt. I replaced the radiator with a mishimoto which has a life time warranty even if your in an accident! also it has the big z32 brakes with 5 lug conversion which is about 800$ and the sr20 is about 2k the rims are ok they are 18s. last weekend the stock turbo was leaking oil so i replaced the entire thing with another stock sr20 turbo form a swap form japan so it had 0 play and low low miles the car runs well but i changed the maf from the throttle body side to right after the intake before the turbo so it needs a new tune to run perfect lots of upgrades like z32 fuel pump blow off valve FMIC good piping thicker head gasket etc please call for more info and im semi OBO on the price 3k is dirt cheap!

will need new tires soon the clear coat is coming off but the paint is still good the dash has cracks and the spring are cut so atleast new springs

Does this sound like a bad idea? He wants $3,000 for it, but since the springs are cut, it has a MAF issue, and needs a tune maybe I could talk him down some. I've been out of a car for about 2 months now and I really want to get back into a 240. It might sound like a lot to some, but $2,200 is the average going price for a molested S13 in SoCal. From the pictures, it doesn't look too bad. So I just want some advice: Should I inquire or let this one pass?

*EDIT*: Sorry if this is in the wrong area, I'll take it down and move it if it is.

Sounds too good to be true. Be cautious.
