Default pursuade me, to buy this car

My friend has a 93 formula A4 for sale. 93,xxx on the clock and brand new rebuilt 355 and a turbo 350 tranny. If i buy it ill be putting the 4l60e back in it.
he wants 2000 for it. Its has lt's, ported intake, ported heads, slp intake, new opti spark, and throttle body. Worth it? it has black ebony leather interior.

Sounds like it would be a clean car with that low of miles, and good mods....so you could always part it out and make some money if you decided you didn't want to keep it or swap back to the 4l60e.

Around here, beat up POS lt1 cars bring that. Clean V6 f bodies bring more than that.....

I just sold a clean 114K mile 96 Formula A4 that needed an engine rebuild for 1,000. I had $1200 in it, but took a loss since I got a good deal on a similar 95 Z28 M6 and didn't need to keep both.

If you need to be persuaded to buy a car then maybe it isn't the car you want... When I saw my Trans Am I immediately wanted it. Same with my BMW!

Good, I'm not the only one like that then. I got excited just seeing the ad on the base I was stationed at, test drove, called my bank on the spot.

Sounds like it is a good base if you decide to build. He did ported heads but didn't do a cam? Forged guts on the 355 build?

sounds too good to be true. i would do a little more research if it was me. get exact details on the motor who built it what parts are in it etc. even if hes a friend remember everyone is trying to make a buck. just do ur research man. if all signs are good then go for it
