http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6400

The sellers feedback is kind of iffy, doesn't sound like he outright rips people off, but the cars may be in worse condition. I don't mind if it needs new brakes, tune up etc, i can do all that myself. Is there any way for it to be a total piece of crap though? Its pretty much exactly what I want, and local also, but i can't get time to see it before the auction closes, plus I can't drive manual well enough to tell if its good or not. I see some scratches on the paint, but i'd probably get the whole car painted when I put a body kit on anyways. Didn't check carfax yet, but he says its a clean title. Let me know what you guys think.

Good call on that pin striping, figured it was kind of shady, i wouldnt buy it without seeing it, but wanted to know if it was worth taking a day off of school to check it out, but you guys definately pointed out the flaws
