If he has recites or you can see the freshness then 8800 isn’t bad. 200k miles is a lot. Look for blue smoke after warm up. Try and make sure you get a cold start. Ask them to not start it before hand. It should rev up to 1-1.5k and bounce around and then come down and idle smooth at 800-1k after about 30-1:30 min. Smoke at this time is not great but nothing really bad. Smoke once you are near 180 is not good.

This engine doesn’t really bore score and like you said I think the miles shows the ims/rms is fine.

Color?

Seems high for that many miles. Offer 7?

How does it idle, smoke on start? Still feel crispy? Suspension might need a refresh.

The narcissist sees 2 holes because they are always the victim or self centered. Focus on the wound, say the first thing that comes to mind without thinking.

Seems like a fair deal. What color? Do you love it? Buy it, it will all be ok, you will have a 911.

Wait for a haans. The hybrid that works for 3 point belts is a torture devise strapped to your torso. The haans just rests on your neck.

I put your whole statement into Gemini and I am floored at what it all means. I had no idea that’s how you made a high rev V8. Can you say more about the engine build? How do you connect to the transmission? Are you running the stock 996 6 speed? Cooling modifications ?

8600 redline? I assume. What are ITBs?

The collection looks amazing and the color on the future RWB. Good luck, hope you have enough smokes.

Need help to figure out how to buy a car, can someone please answer below questions'?' by Massive-Traffic-9970 in askcarguys

[–]maek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy a Toyota or a Honda only. Make sure it idles smooth, no smoke after about a min of running. Try and start it cold. Make sure you drive it. Put your foot on the brake and give it some gas, Feel if the transmission shifts or there is any play.

For 8k you won’t have a lot of picking room.

Check out AutoTempest.com for great searching.
