should I attempt it??

[saleen_s331]

ok so I currently own a 2006 Redfire saleen S281 with cams and various other mods.. but anyway she is starting to get kind of "tired" and I was craigslist browsing today and noticed this...

http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/ctd/3133502602.html

Now the question is.. I owe 4k+/- on mine but do you guys think this would be worth it? oh and don't go getting any ideas to buy it from underneath me! just kidding.. but seriously.. that wouldn't be nice! haha thanks guys.

Looks clean, but 29K??? Seems a little high to me( Maybe I am wrong though). Have you looked for a S281-E? I believe the extremes have forged internals and might be a better route long term when you want to turn up the boost.

 

[Bill220]

That's a lot of money. You could pick up a nice used 5.0 for $29,000.

 

[saleen_s331]

i know i can pick up a 5.0 for around there... but I just love the look of the saleen. what do you think would be a reasonable off to give them?

 

[Mr. Q]

dude, 29K is ridiculous for that car. i'd go with a used 5.0.

 

[grabby694]

[saleen_s331]

yea, i'm glad you noticed that too!!

So what do you guys think would be a reasonable cost for this car? I just started talking to the dealer to see how much of a douchebag he is and how much he lacks in knowledge on Saleen and basically the s197 platform. open to all answers, good and bad!! haha

 

[BleedinBlue]

Why not just put a blower on your car? What do you mean by "tired?"

 

[weather man]

You've got equity....now you just have to hammer a deal. Rule of thumb to keep in mind...clean shit can sell fast.

Good luck with your purchase!

 

[Doug M]

$21,000

A California car for sale in Seattle by a dealer advertising on craigslist...

None of that sounds good to me. 2007-2009 GT500s turn up for under $30k, and with fewer miles. Are you in the Puget Sound region?

 

[cody2639]

The listing is riddled with errors. I wouldn't trust it

 

[saleen_s331]

yea, the dude seems to be a douche too... im still going to investigate this but we will see what happens.

 

[11gt/cs]

i can't lie i usually don't like the 05-09 body but that car is gorgeous. also if you only owe 4k why not pay it off and keep it then buy another of your choice. two is always better then 1.

 

[HEMI LOL]

are you local to the PNW?

 

[saleen_s331]

are you local to the PNW?

I'm in Puyallup, well just south actually in Graham. Where are you at?

Why not just put a blower on your car? What do you mean by "tired?"

I just really don't like daily driving a car that has close to 90,000 miles and I know as soon as I pass the 100,000 mile mark... this car isn't going to be worth anything and its hard to save up enough money to build a motor like I want to. I would like to have a stroker with a saleen or KB supercharger but, its tough ya know?

 

[Thekid760]

if you only owe 4k it'll be paid off soon enough, put that extra 400-500 a month toward a stroker and whipple!

Dont do it, your basically looking at spending 25k extra for a different color and a decent blower.

x3767484 The ad looks sketch and price is way too high.

Tacoma, and i work in puyallup!

 

[saleen_s331]

Small world isn't it!! Well I'm sure you will hear/see my car running around its only the loudest mustang in pierce county!!!

 

[skwerl]

I would RUN, not walk away from that car based on my Spidey sense pinging like crazy. Rule number 1 is that if it's a Craigslist ad and not local, then it's a scam. Period. Second, that is way overpriced for a 6 cylinder and I don't care if Steve Saleen whacked off and jizzed on the dash personally, it ain't a $29K car.

Hell, there's a forged, Whippled 2009 Bullitt with only 11K miles on it for sale in the classifieds here (3K on the forged motor) and he's only been asking $35K for the last 9 months. AND you get the stock 281 motor along with it!
