Just save your self the aggravation and get a gs-t. The money you will dump into the RS will not be worth it, and niether will the power out put. Also the amount of time you will need to tune the car, it would end up being a very unreliable car. Save your pennies and get a GS-T.

ok cool i guess im sticking to buying the gs-t! what would be a good price for a used gs-t ( mileage also) ive seen a couple but im not sure for example a 1997 gs-t mileage=65,401 and the guy is selling it for $9,988 ..i went to autotrader.com....if you have any good other websites that i can search for that would help me out. this other guy is seeling a 1998 gs-t with mileage of 90,000
and hes selling it for $6,900 ( gs-t ) click there to view the car..something has to be wrong with the car for him to sell it so cheap...


IF ANY ONE IS SELLING A GS-T IN MIAMI OR SOMEWHERE NEAR MIAMI PLEASE POST!

before jumping all over a car test drive and inspect them throughly. also go to www.kbb.com and see what the bluebook value you do not want to be upside down in a car evan if it is a gst /gsx.

KBB is old news now... no dealer uses it anymore unless they are calculating a trade because kbb shows lower. I cant remember what they use now though

kbb is just to get the price range idea of what a car is worth even though it isnt used anymore or often. autotrader is the best bet but youll need to search a big area and be willing to drive for the car. I always search the 200 Mile radius from my zip code on autotrader. but that is the best youll find or maybe cars.com I think is another

Clos36...its gonna take time to find a good deal. What are you looking to do for mods.....how far do you want to take the car?

PS If your looking for values this is the value standard http://www.nada.com
