Don't know the exact bill yet from the shop
Guessing in the $500 area.
$100 for the wires, around 2-300 bills for the alignment
then the Valve cover job.
What would a good deal be for this car?

Why didn't you buy a Hynes Manual or get a Manual from the dealer? You could have done it yourself.

Yeah I know, but just don't have the time to do it.
Work M-F 8:30-18:00 in inglewood and live in MPK.
By the time I come home with the traffic is dark and tired.
on weekend want to spend time with the kids.

I would pay $10,000 - $12,000... But how many miles does it have?

I give my price estimate only because the car is a 5 speed with navigation and leather seats..
And since the paint looks flawless, wheels look good, and it has tein cs coilovers with edfc. Rmm lip is a nice bonus too.

Nice catch!

Oh then you're good man!!
It kinda equals out to like $10k plus since you had to pay for those repairs and stuff.

The miles are a little higher than I was thinking, but still - miles doesn't matter these cars last forever as long as you keep up with the maintenance.

good find man!

Yeah the mileage is little high, but the engine is clean, no carbon build up inside.
Whitout the goodies I would not pay more then around $7k.
