If youre a wrench, then jump right in. There ar e some smoking deals out there, just take your time. I bought my car in 2011 for $7500. The car is unbelievable, fast, motor is in great shape, ive taken it on the track and not to brag, but ive passed cars that had twice my HP.

I had to do the usual repairs, AOS, coolant tank, water pump, but if you diy, the cost is minimal.

I would make sure the paint and body and interior are good. Any problems in these areas can get very expensive quickly. Also, take a good look at the suspension. Mine is fine at 144k miles, but redoing e suspension can get real expensive real fast.

Good luck.
