How many miles?
How many bottles have been used?
Do you know the current owner?
Do you have enough money in your budget to eventually rebuild or replace the motor?

To say you need to be cautious when buying a nitrous injected car would be a major understatement of the obvious. If the guy is local, and has a good reputation for being a "straight shooter" then jump on it.

**NUMBER ONE RULE FOR USED CAR PURCHASE**
Get a mechanic to inspect the car. It's worth the money for an expert to take a look. If the seller won't let you have the car for an inspection, keep shopping.

A simple copression test would tell you if everything is ok.

The car has 52k. He says about 5 10lb bottles. I don't know the current owner. I think I will have a machanic check it out and get a copression check. I will have a extra motor incase this one goes

Thanks
Guys
