To buy or not to buy?

I saw this 93 240sx coupe with 141k miles on the chasis for sale with SR20DET already in it with 30k miles on it. With a few other mods.

Here are the list of mods:

96-98 Kouki BlackTop aka. 180SX Type X Motor
Blitz LM Air Filter
Blitz Downpipe
ARC Blowoff Valve
ARC Front Mount Intercooler
Trust DD Exhaust
Custom 3" Straight Pipe
ACT Street/Srtip Clutch
2 12" Hayden Electric Fans
H4 Conversion
C's Short Shifter
JDM front Rotors, Pads, and Calipers
New tires
New rear Brake Pads
Audiobahn Speakers and AMP

He's selling it for $7500.

I'm still debating if I should get it or to keep looking. Help me out here.

Anything that looks that good on paper should be checked out thoroughly (from underneath while it's on a lift). And test driven before any promises or payments are made.

Good luck sounds like a helluva car. Welcome to the boards. I'm the d!ckhead that yells and flames people when they post stupid sh!t.

Yeah I was planning on maybe doing that (If I could get a lift)since it's not too far.

And thanks for the welcome, I usually don't post alot of stupid sh!t in boards. I actually think before I post.

Why is it that EVERY SR has like 30,000 miles? lol I hate when they lie like that, even if its a red top and 10 yrs old its got 30k miles, yea ok.Anyway, i guess if you like it go for it but i personally would never buy a modified car especially one that has seen high boost/high hp.

it propbobaly has been put through gruelling sessions,if it was put togeather well everything will still be bomb.sr motors usually have 30+thousand miles cause thats when they rip up the clip. logically, would you buy a sr with 80000 miles,probobly not, whoever put the engine in knows this.so does the importer yo.
