It has 100,000k's on it.I guess I have a few questions:1. What would you consider a reasonable price for it? I'm more than happy to low ball the sh*t out of them, they have 23,990 on it.....2. Apart from the FMIC how can I identify if it has been tuned or had any other mods? The dealer couldnt tell me if its had a tune or if it has any further mods which has put me off a bit...... 3. should I look for something with less K's?Any other tips when looking for one of these cars? I want to have all bases covered I can't handle the thought of getting ripped off haha.Your help will be appreciated!

I remember seeing something about the paint issues but forgot all about that! No history of the modifications did make me think to myself 'that can't be good'.sounds like I should keep looking!
