That seems like a really good deal, to me. As long as the paint is in excellent condition (low enough miles that it should be) and runs fine, with no error codes, and all accessories working.

I would say it's a good deal I think 1 7/8 is a bit much with a stock vehicle, it's been awhile since I looked into headers but I think most people run 1 5/8, the borla may fit with some modification

Yeah that is an awesome deal! That car would fetch at least 13k here in FL.

BTW, 1 3/4 primaries flow more than enough for most people.

If it hasn't been ragged on, I'd jump on it. Any of the headers will be good enough to see a car well into the tens. The smaller tubing headers fit much better and are usually much cheaper too.

Yeah that is a great deal, but I wouldn't waste my money on carfax. I ran carfax on my car before I bought it and it came up clean. About a month later I was changing my oil and when I was looking down the hood and noticed a crease and I had notice the paint looked suspicious since I first looked at it.

My advice if you are concerned about it being wrecked or flooded is look carefully and pay attention to the little details. You can usually tell if it has been in a major accident by how it drives. Look for small imperfections in the paint, variations in paint color and texture in varying panels, overspray and clear coat runs. Also if it is metallic it may have inconsistent metallic flakes at body creases. Good luck and use your senses (sight and smell).

I think cloth looks cheap, but that is a great deal.

Its in great shape no wrecks etc. It looks and drives brand new. I hate cloth my 94 got leather, I hate to downgrade, also I dont want t-tops but it isa good deal. Plus its a auto, I wanted a 6 speed when I got my auto, but my auto is cool with shift kit, but it cost a lot for that.....I have to come up with the money too.....

Carfax is good to a certain extent, but it only has accidents that are reported through insurance, so it can't be trusted.
