"motor not running"

No. Its not a good deal. Sounds like it needs a rebuild, and thats spendy. So no. Not good deal!

I dont think it is a good deal either. if your serious about selling the your car I think u should find out what is wrong with it and let people know. if somebody buys the car and finds out it is gonna cost him to much then they r gonna think that u cheated on them and screw them. not fair deal.

timing belt could have gotten loose and jumped and bent valves causing it to not start anymore. well at least thats what happened to me.

Is it going to be a pain in the *** to fix? Otherwise the car sounds good. I'm pretty much gonna have to take the engine apart to fix it huh?

Well if the driver thrashes the **** out of it then it could be crap compression. It could be computer related... or it could be fuel related. Most likely if the driver hasnt abused the car then i think its either computer or fuel related. The sputter sounds like fuel... fuel pump or some kind of blockage? Who knows... Get the price down and take someone that knows their stuff with you to properly diagnose the problem. If you make it sound like the engine is ****ed thn maybe you can get it for alot less.... good luck!

well IMO if this kid has all these mods on here then has problems with the car and cant figure it out himself then he has no clue what he's doing and therefore probably beat the **** out of this car. Or didnt have things properly tuned. ect. so i wouldnt trust this car at all.
