Default new car advice

hey does anybody recognize this car for sale and could possibly tell me if it is a good deal or not? I need to know asap because I am going down this weekend and need to pick between this car and another!

I found another one in miami florida. a 2007 with turbonetics kit that I will probably go get if this one is bad. Just don't want to dump to much money into it. or maybe give me advice on the 2006 car. does it look good? beat on? i will be making payments so dont have much to fix all the time

Yikes man. I don't know. Who knows what's going on inside that thing or what's going on with that kit. I'd tell the dealer go have it thrown on the dyno for a couple pulls to see the health of the tune and kit and motor because I stepped into any thing as sketchy as this. Buying any N/A to turbo car is sketchy without knowing a single thing about it... And it's Miami, so you know it was beat on and probably wrecked at one point.

I just looked at some of the pictures of the engine bay, and my god is that an old kit. That thing has been on that car for quite sometime. The health of that motor is probably quite weak after 80,000 miles of it. That manifold looks extremely sketchy. I wouldn't bother with this kit at all. And that intake and piping is just random sketchy. So old, and possibly custom (???). Screw that noise.
