Purchase Opinion please

With all the work that has been done, the price is not too bad. I bet you could negotiate a price between $8500 and $9000. Parts and labor for replacing the IMSB alone should be $1500-$1800. You're unlikely to find a good example with a new IMSB for under $10k.

You cant totally figure in a return for doing normal maintenance that was done on a car. Yes well maintained ect... will help price but in the end the car is only worth what book value of similiar milage cars are going plus a bump in condition.

Since its on a car lot makes me wonder why, with all that work put into it. Seems to me cars taken well care move between enthusiast more often than being traded in. Whiever traded to a big hit in value to get out from under it.

We need to know what code(s) is prompting the CEL. Once you get a scanner on it, we can help more.
