Will this be your daily driver?

I would never buy a swapped car...you do know that SRs are illegal by FEDERAL LAW right? What year is the car? Something like that will be loaded with problems in the future. I suggest looking for a lower mileage stock car that you can play around with.

A good paint job will run anywhere from 1-3K depending if you want a color change, cheaper if you have hookups. Good quality bodykits will run from 800-1500 not sure how much they charge these days to install them, probably in the neighborhood of around 2 bills...

Searching is your friend

Thats a good price but you know he can say anything about the mileage on that redtop. Truth is you will never know the true mileage of it. The guy probably used the engine upwards of 100k+ miles and you still will not know. I doubt he got the motor swaped and drove it 5k miles than sell it. I mean all that work on the swap he had to use it all up so 45k mile on motor is bs to me. Thats just my opinion.

Let's see: ~$2k for the car+~3.5k for the SR swap= over his asking price already and I haven't even added any of the other lil gizmos on it. Obviously the price is too good to be true. IMO if you're looking for a daily driver just get a stock car. Half the fun is in modding your own car but again thats just MO.
