What do you all think of this 90 240sx deal?

Whats up evrybady I'm new to this forumn and im looking for a 240 sx. I just wanna get your guys honest opinion about this 240 sx i found online for 6,000 obo. It needs some body work but i plan on completely revamping the car. Its not stock what the owner has modified SR20DET from Japan, Turbo, with a new wiring harness, front mount intercooler, greddy piping, 3.5" apexi exhaust and downpipe, new performance clutch, new performance light weight flywheel, new starter, upgraded alternator, 2 12" electric fans, fairly new tires in the back on enkei's, Walbro Fuel Pump,Boost gauge, cusco front and rear strut-tower braces, koni yellow adjustable shocks and camber kit.

SR20DET has 40,000 miles on it car has 125k on it. Has Apexi SAFC, blitz turbo timer and CD player too. This is my number one choice right now but just wondering what u all though about this deal. I have about 13,000 to spend after purchasing the car ill have about 7-8000 left to modify the car

hmmm $6,000 for a SR powered S13 with some minor body damage seems a bit much, you can find some SR powered S13's for about 4 - 5K....but i guess it depends on your luck, overall its not bad...but are there any other choices?

On a stock t-25 turbo you can boost 15-16 very safely with an after market BOV.

HKS super sequencial, Blitz, Turbo XS, are all good blow off valves. With the size of the intercooler on that car, you should have no problem getting a boost control and cranking it up to 15 pounds. I think 6000 is a bit much, I would offer 4500 and then tell him everything you don't like about the car, if he doesn't come down on his price give him your number and tell him it's a standing offer.... 2-3 weeks you will get a call and the car will be yours for 4500.
