It says the engine only has 17,000 miles too. Not a bad price for what's been done.

Why to many miles on the car for that price. I picked up my 05 with only 40K miles on it for 12 grand..

yeah way over priced, mods do not make it worth that much more at all.

Price and wheels aside that looks like a car that's in decent shape and well maintained with some nice mods. I would validate the Mazdaspeed kit is authentic. The owner says it's Urethane and the MS body kit is Metton which is much more durable than Urethane.

I would make sure they throw in the original wheels and you could sell the ones on it. I tend to agree that $14K is a bit high. You could go check it out and make a lowball offer around 12K and see what happens.

I agree. Overpriced, you cant price higher because of mods. It doesnt work that way. I would never buy something used that looks like that. I would want it bone stock, at least that way I could hope for the best that it was driven properly. I take that back, the only time I would buy anything used is if it was a secondary car for less than $5,000.

Buying used makes a lot of sense when you look at bang for the buck. Buying new is a bit wasteful. Buying really used is a bit more sketchy. Something with 1500 miles on it used is usually a hell of a deal vs. new.
