RE: Should I buy this Hatch?
How many miles does it have? What are the different mods (looks like turbo and some other aftermarket parts from pic)? Did you ask him why he's selling it? No matter how nice a car looks you never know unless you dig deep. Get the pin number also.
If that car has more than 100 thou I wouldn't buy it for that price.

-Under the carpet, all the interior floor metal has been redone in chassis black while the car was apart. I just thought I would include that since some people strip everything out their cars out for weight savings. The car should be under 2000 lbs easily w/ no air bags, no ac,no power steering, and crank windows.
-My amp, sub, etc. will not be included with the car since they came out of one of my other cars temporarily.
-The engine was tuned to be reliable for roughly 350 hp for pump or 450 hp for race gas. I would rather have a safe tune and leave some power on the table.
-This car was built from an empty shell. Every part has been redone on the car. After finishing all of the work it has only had 1000-2000 miles put on it. The car runs and drives great. It’s a quick fun car but I simply don’t have the time to enjoy it and could use some money to pay for college. I really hate to sell it after all the time I put in it but college is more important. I have pictures to document the entire build and pictures to verify the internals of the engine. I have most all of the receipts for every part on the car.
-I spent a lot of time making this list so that you would know exactly what you are getting. I’ve tried to list the price for all of the major things on the car. As you can see I have roughly $19,000 in parts on the car w/o the install or labor costs. I’m asking $9000 obo for it. If you have any offer, email me. You won't offend me, like some people get. If you have any other questions feel free to ask me.
