Well he is well off so I don't think he is worried about a $3000 reman engine from Mazda with installation (yes it only costs $3000). He owns a Corvette Z06 racecar with roll cage, new 2013 Cooper S, TPC twin turbo Cayman S racecar with rollcage, and two trucks.

My car has 94,500 miles on original engine of course and I had it for 2.5 years. It is not the right time for me to buy a car, but at the same time I will never get a chance like this again. He is selling it for $12,000 on craigslist, but he said he would let me have it for $8000. He is my DE racing instructor and co-worker.
