    Aight guys im stuck in a bind here. I saw a post on craigslist of this nice '98 Regal GS and its got some work done to it. I want it! pont blank period. I test drove it this morning and i just love the blower whine and it pulls harddd. I popped the hood and the previous owner has some stuff done. Its got a Short ram intake, MSD coils, zzp wires, bright silver painted blower and alt., The pulley def looks smaller then a 3.8 id say its a 3.5 maybe, its got a boost and air/fuel gauge which looks cool. And i believe theres a few other lil things done..no headers though. Oh a magnaflow dual convert exhaust which sounds good. Its got 18's with low profiles and other exterior mods...its pretty sexy, forgot to take pics . The interior is also in good condition.Now the bad..only the drivers window goes down, theres some roaring noise at higher speeds on the passenger side, and the biggest thing the mileage odometer has no display so cant tell the mileage which sucks but he said they can fix all that if i buy. Othwerwise thats it as far as i can see, feel or smell. Its very clean and quick and sounds amazing. The guy wants $5999 but after some talking and talked about trading my car i talked him to 5k, I honestly dont think its worth that much but oh well. He said he would take $2500 for my car, 1k down, so id owe around $1500, not bad. Now my car is an 01 GP GT with full bolt ons of course popped the hood and showed him.Told him i need suspension work roughly 1k worth of work,needs tires and i have an intake leak somewhere. Otherwise my car is good. I also have a top swap setup in the garage just collecting dust for now so should i sell that stuff to help with the funds? more important should i get this car or fix mine up and top swap whenever i can?
