    Other than the fact it was in an accident and is pretty highly modified? Frankly, I'd say if you don't know what the reasons not to touch it would be, that's the biggest reason not to touch it. Kind of like buying a salvage car. If you have to ask, you probably shouldn't buy it...

    Maybe give a ring to RS and see what they can tell you about it?

    Thanks. The crash and mods are obvious concerns.

    I should have been more clear - anyone personally aware of this vehicle? If so, have you been it or driven it yourself?

    It's got Isaac's name on it. According to playground rules, that would make it his no matter what.

    Price is a little high to me, I paid 14k for a 05 foz xt with 30k miles on it 2 years ago. Obviously, this one has a nice built motor, good mods and a 6 speed conversion, I guess it depends how much you value the 6 speed. I won't even open that can of worms in this thread, but keep in mind you could buy a foz for 12-13 and have 7k to build it the way you want it (if you can find a MT one of course).

    20k? No thanks. Unless you plan on building the car for the track, I see no point in giving some asshole 7-8k extra for his built block. What did he even need that for anyway? An 18g? Really? If I had to choose, I'd find a stock FXT and mod it myself with the money I saved...again, you can slap an 18g and injectors into a stock block FXT and tune it for a lot less than 20k.
