O.K. so i just got home and it is a GSX, BUT! It needs a new window motor on the passenger side as well as a passenger side front fender and side mirror. Also needs clutch, and both airbags were deployed. The seller says he only had the car for about 10 months and when the clutch went out he bought a mustang 5.0, so thats why hes selling it. His original price was $3200. I talked him down to $2400. but after i foud out about all the other stuff i told him id give him $1500. What do you guys think? Oh yea and it needs paint, its primered right now, buts is pait ready.

Thanks,

Did he say what caused the airbags to deploy, it must have been in a pretty good wreck.
