well.. first you dont buy cars off ebay.. you never can see what is really wrong with the car... always do in-person transactions.

i personally would not buy a modified car.. takes the fun out of it..

price seems ok.. but lets be honest.. he probably smashed on the car many times.. i know i would.. i say pass and get a stock car.

Check out auto trader or even head to one of your local dealers and ask around. Never know what awesome deal you may stumble across.

It's a nice looking and cleanly modified car to me. Nothing seems overdone and from the pictures, the car looks in great condition. But when buying a used car, it's always better to see it in person and hire or have a mechanic along with you. Just what I would do when buying used.

As for you question on the price, I think if you could get it for around/under $25,000. It would be a fair price.

That's a nice looking TL. Be careful with modified cars because the work can be pretty shoddy.

Actually the owner of that car is likely part of this forum. He is talks about JnC and Nexson doing work on his car.

I also wouldn't purchase from ebay, you need to do due diligence, car fax, mechanic inspection, DMV, smog, and personally drive. $28k would be a good purchase price if everything else checks out.

I bought several cars on eBay and had a great experience--however, mine were from a dealer and I had the cars looked at by an independent source, and I checked out the car myself and ran it through carfax. I highly recommend you check the car out personally before buying, you can find good deals on ebay, just do your homework.

As far as this car: It would scare me of the type of mods. Better floor mats OK, tinting OK, better tunes OK. Stuff engine related, suspension related makes me think the car was driven very hard--why else upgrade stull like that when the car already handles well. I would not buy a "supped up" car that was this new.

A good 2010 with these options will run in the upper 20's--I spend months looking an researching.

Hope this helps.
