Right now I'm trying to decide if a heavily modified Mark II is a good deal for me. It's got a full roll cage, GT wing, full aero, intake, exhaust, coilovers, racing seats, intercooler, gauges, 18" alloys... it's pretty hot. Oh also almost a year of shaken. Issues? Yeah there are plenty of those too, not all the fault of the car though. It's not in the best shape exterior wise, plenty of dings and scrapes, plus a bit of rust in one of the wheel wells. It's rated R on the auction site, which means it could have been in a crash, or just that adding all those parts qualifies as "repairs." I'm not sure how much I really need to be concerned with the condition of the car though, really. Unless it's going to need major repairs that will cost me, I think what's more important is figuring out what the resale value of the car will be in a year or two, and how much of a hit I am willing to take on that. But besides that, I was looking forward to getting a relatively clean stock car and choosing how to modify it myself. This would be buying a car already in the last stages, with all the work done for me, but no longer really "my" car. The other issue, unfortunately, is that I don't think it would be a very good idea for me to drive around my inaka town of 30,000 people in a car that would draw that much attention. I already get more than enough. But it's frustrating, because if I was living anywhere else, I wouldn't care, because I could still be anonymous. I guess I could just throw like a 5% tint on all the glass? What probably would end up happening is I would remove the wing and probably the roll cage, which wouldn't be that bad of a compromise. I dunno.
