I bet the price is right - I wouldn't hesitate - but I would get a pre-purchase inspection.

What's not to love about a motor with only 9K miles on it?

When you say, "is it safe?" what do you mean?

Having a new engine is generally a pretty good thing (assuming you verify that it really is new).

Does it mean that it could not happen again?

No. That is why they have after market warranties. If you are really concerned, check that route out.


Good luck.

"18" Turbo look wheels" AKA Carrera Lites? From the angle that's what they look like to me. That is one sweet black Box you have there though. :dance:

Jaxonalden, yes, it is just like yours. I like the RED, looks very sexy and my BLACK definitely looks cool
