if you don't mind driving to toronto, Gusto can get them for $950 cash...
Final Lap (retards) sell them for $1150 + tax. no cash deals, no price cutting...
I hate final lap!

tough choice.
with the koni's, you have to slice apart your stock ones. they're just inserts.
so the guy probably didn't like them, but already tore his struts apart, so he's trying to trade for the stock ones.
for him to buy the stock ones is pretty expensive (OEM == gay).
so...if you're willing to get rid of your stock struts altogether (I wouldn't), then go for it, but only pay $500 TOPS.
otherwise, I'd go for broke, and get new ones.

the guy is selling his car...which further proves my point. he probably wants to get it back to stock, which you can't do with the koni's. 
you have to hack apart your struts. so...you could use that as a leverage point to lowball him to a lower price
as for gusto, it's not installed. but, if you want help doing it, lemme know...I just got an air compressor and a bunch of tools...I'm dying to try them! hehehe

I would either just lower it or get full replacements...ie: Progress or Tein.
Koni is great but like Tek said, you'll have a hard time getting the car back to stock!
