It seems like it. I also found out that it's only had mods on it for 5k of those miles.

My only thoughts.. if it has that fuel pump, at one time or another it's had a power adder on it.

Yea.. a 98 with over 100k miles, 11,5 is a little steep. Plus does it need tires or brakes? Try and get him down around 10. It doesnt really have big enough mods to make it more valuable. I know i got my TA for 11 and its a 99 with 34k and has WS6 hood, borla, FTRA, pully, MAF, 18's, tint, etc so try and egt that price down and it will be a good deal if it was cared for. Jsut wait and the right one will pop up. I waiting 7 months to find mine and the right one finally came.

Yeah dont go jumping the horse so fast, I waited years for mine (no lie about 3 years) untill I could find one that matched my likings. Sit on it for a week or so and if its still there...maybe propose 9,800 cash, final offer..... It is, after all almost 10 years old!! that price could be way lower

None of the mods listed would require that fuel pump. It either had boost, NOS, or a big H/C package. Motor has probably seen better days. I would look around. sorry.

He could of just had plans for it though.
As far as the price I would def thalk him down alot. I only paid 11500 for mine with only 24000 miles on it. Be patient and you will find a good deal on one. From what I have found in the past if you are financing it the banks won't be willing to do long terms on a high milage car. So you can probally get one for less money per month and a better interest rate also. Have you checked out the for sale section on here generly some good deals down there.
