Unless I knew the full car history and the person who owned it, I would never buy a used car with an add on forced induction kit, especially for 40 large. You have no idea if the previous owner ever ran it lean, or did anything else that could show up in 10 miles or 10K miles.

Any warranty on the power train would have to be from Stillen, but does it transfer? Do you really want to deal with an aftermarket warranty should the engine need work? Or is the dealer saying they will warranty the power train? Sounds fishy to me.

And to buy a car sight unseen and no test drive...this isn't a 4K beater you know will drive like a car...this is a sports car with specific look and feel.

Get your car when you come back...and come back safe.
