    Is there any issues with buying a Heavily modded gtp? its a 99 i believe. Anything i should be worried about in particular? I dont know the guy at all, so i just want to make sure what all to look out for, if anything at all? he seems to know what hes talking about, but you just cant trust many people anymore. Thanks again!

    I'd be leary of it. Is this in canton? If it is heavily modified, he may be a member. Do you have any pics?

    Also, what are the mods??

    most of the time people are selling a modded car cause they feel its at the end of its rope. being you dont know the owner or history or life of the car or engine or the tune he used. id pass. 99% of the time its nothing but problems for you.

    find a stock un molested car, mod it yourself. it will be cheaper in the long run too.

    it doesn't look like anybody's here. I can't access ClupGP to see if it is there. I'd pass, unless you really want it.

    Like Scott said...find a car that hasn't been messed with...get everything in the condition you want it, then go to town.

    Although it is tempting to buy a modded car, I would do what they have mentioned.

    Don't. Unless your willing to take a chance and have experience working with our motors and trannys in case something does go wrong.

    That would be the first thing to drive me away.

    Unless the shop has put these things together successfully in the past.

    Well how much does he want for it? if you could get a good BARGAIN and I mean a GOOD BARGAIN then at least you could buy it and use any good parts towards your own GTP if a GTP is what you really want. SH** you could even use the body and or interior parts if needed
    Not your average grocery getter, but theres always at least two things on the list.... 10w-30 Castrol Titanium and Shell 91 premium mixed with a lil 100 octane racing gas......
