That's my baby! I'm buying it.. back off. Kidding. I think it's a tiny bit over priced. Not bad. I personally would not buy it for $8,000 with almost a 150,000 miles on it. So what if it's turbo'ed. I heard that if you turbo the KA with a lot of miles, it will not last as long. Sorry, I might be a little wrong.
It's really clean though. I got my car in '02 for $7,000 with only 64,000 miles on it for a '96. So, I would not pay more for a car with more miles and a year older. Make sense? Probably not. I'm tired.

Even with the mods....and with it running 13.7 quarter its not worth the 8k. The is going to have issues simply because its a turbocharged car. I wouldnt pay more than 6-6.5k for a car like that but thats just my opinion...
Either way i would never buy a turbocharged 240, who knows how its been beat to death by the owner. Find a lower mileage one and start fresh...
2 centavos

My KA-T Has 240,000 miles on it........
..... and it's a day to day driver while running 10psi normal and 17 psi for racing.I've got a KA i'm looking at with 102,000 miles on it and the junk yard only wants $500.00 and it come with a 30 day warranty
But anyways, the car is really......the car is over $$$$$$
