Non-running modded cars are a big red flag in my book.
No way this guy invested $100k, I think he meant previous owner did including the purchase price ($65k purchase plus $30k in Dinan mods and $5k in audio would be my guess at the math, either way it's just a sales pitch and has little meaning now). He said he bought it as it sits and has put some into maintenance - thrust arms, belts etc. - but all of the Dinan and audio mods were done by the (a?) PO.

It's been for sale for a while, since before the water pump issue (see ad I posted), and according to him he's going to fix it but is leaving it advertised as-is until it's fixed, then the price goes up (of course). As I said, not running - at least not well enough for a test drive - it's not worth the ask. I may make an offer after reviewing the service records but the ask would be way too big a risk due to not being able to test drive it. Should the engine or transmission grenade or have problems it would be worth fixing at 9-10k purchase price without a big money loss, but not much more than that (imo) and you have to assume there are other problems lurking if it can't be driven. If he fixes the water pump or whatever the leak is and it drives right after that, it would be worth the $13k or close to it imo, it is in very nice shape cosmetically.
