Nope. You can get a clean, stock 5th gen for under $4k. Keep looking!

I know. Why would you buy a **** bucket? It's obviously been toyed with far too much to be worth anything.

i would buy it, take the parts i want, sell others of value, then get $250 for the shell at the junkyard.

thats what i was also thinking. the intake is still clean. the seats are a bit ricey, but someone would like them. the tranny & engine are strong. i would probably end up parting it completely out, then droppin the shell at the junkyard for $250 like you said
