Default found a build c5 for under 10k

ok I found a c5 for 12k after some talk got him at 10k, the visual problem it has a hole on the bumper on the side noted on video tell me what you think


"I have a 97 corvette leather seats,130k miles, black interior, TV stereo, auto. Engine has heads, cam, BBK intake, headers and SLP exhaust. Car is making 450hp to 500hp. Clean title. If really interested, price could be adjusted. No trades."

Seems pretty whooped on, A Coupe C5 is not making 450-500hp with a cam and exhaust through a A4 thats for damn sure... He is probably making right around what a stock C5Z makes if that... I dont know man, Its up to you but that car looks like it may have been wrecked at one point in its life... Dont buy sight unseen, I would look at if I were you...

The passenger door also did not line up with the rear body. It looks to me like he whacked a tree or pole or something during a fishtail with the right aft side of the car.
