What exactly does it mean when someone says the car has never been abused? I would think that it means driving the car pretty hard and the seller says the car does a 12 sec 1/4. Racing is not abuse to the car?

Might have run the car onces or twice with the SC.

Abused to me is shifting at red all the time. 33K is rather light for the age.

But for $17,000, he could get a newer car with fewer miles that had never been boosted, painted, or chopped up in any way. I don't see this as a good buy.

heck. I wouldn't pay over $12K.
I'm thinking about moving on up and my 01 car with HT and 66K miles was offered $9K 3 months ago.

My engine was rebuilt at 30K and it was stock. Never raced, only abused.

I refuse to believe the F20 (or F22) will handle the boost in a reliable manner. BTW, any supercharged car that runs 12's has been abused.

Good luck!
