The paint job will prob. be a couple grand since you are changing colors. Dang thats a terrible purple color lol, but you cant beat the engine mileage. What part of PA you from?

this is just IMO, i think that is a pretty cool color. I wouldn't paint it at all. Its different unless you plan on painting it another "different" color.

do it man. except thats way to much for a gsr in my opinion. but if u like that price w.e. btw i would keep the purple..u know how rare it is to find a purple gsr.? and are u sure thats snow. just rmbr its a 2000...with 100k miles and a new motor already...you should try and talk him down a lot...my friend has a 98 gsr with only 70k miles MINT condition. and he got it for 8k. so really think about it if ur getting it..try and talk him down. other then that go for it!

Ask for proof that the motor has as many Miles as he states. And yes, definetly talk him down. A good paintjob will probably go for around 2500-3500.

Literacy owns you.

Anyway, if you do get the integgy. I'd keep the purple, it's rare seeing a purple car now-a-days. I don't think it looks that bad either. I'd drive a purple integgy lol.

doesnt look like a bad deal but i would be weary about the mototr swap/replacement. ask for paperwork and have the car looked at by a mechanic you trust.
