if everything that hes says about it is true and if all it needs is a battery, which i can see happenig from sitting around for five months, theres prolli nothing wrong with the alternator youll more then likely have to replace the battery. id tell him to get a new battery for it so u can drive and see how well it runs. but otherwise it definatly looks like its worth it. especially with the mods.

Yea the car looks like its owned by someone who didnt mind spending money on his car. That is a very good price. Just make sure to check everything out. I would have drove up from NJ to NY to get that car instead of my 01 SS. Id take the ground effects off personally though
Good Luck!!
