- 2003.5 Ti MSP
AHHHHH YESSS!!! You guys dont even know how many times ive tried to register and post here to no avail! I always get an error screen and a "Failure" message. FINALLY it worked!! I've had so many questions about this car that I never got to ask because i could never post. . . and theres no other way to find out about it because no-one else knows anything about it! But anyway, heres the deal, I'm lookin into buying an MSP and I have a specific one in mind. It would be my first car - I've read quite a bit on these forums and have decided that the MSP is the best combination of what I want - quick, good mileage, fun to drive, manual, killer stereo, fantastic suspension, and good looks. Now, the MSP i'm looking to buy is a Titanium with 26k miles. It had a front end collision with a guy who ran a red light at like 15 mph. It was all repaired professionally and suposedly it is like new (according to the seller). He says he ran 10 PSI with an MBC for like 2 weeks before getting tired of having to go out and adjust it under the hood - he said he then removed it and ran stock boost levels. He had / has a boost guage on the A-Pillar so he could see what he was boosting and he mentioned reading up on the MSP before-hand and knowing that over 10 PSI on stock internals = death to the engine. He says it runs great and has no bogging even with the blow off valve he has (stock boost levels). The pics of it show an aftermarket exhaust although i asked him and he said the exhaust was stock (its CLEARLY not)? I dont know, I've decided on an MSP as my first car and i've saved enough to pay for half of it + gas which was the deal with my parents. . . I'm just weary of the 10 psi (he could have easily run more / longer and it "slipped his mind") and the fact that it was crashed at one time (although it had no frame or suspension damage). As well, he said that he only gets like 21 mpg city and 24 highway? that seems kinda low compared to what I saw on the mileage thread on here - what do you guys think about everything? I was kinda set to buy it until the guy told me that it was "stock" exhaust in the pics. Here, take a look - http://i7.ebayimg.com/03/a/000/77/38/4f4c_4.JPG - is this Vibrant? It kinda looks like one of the Vibrant tips I saw on google and while i dont really think it is, i'm trying to keep my hopes up because i planned on buying Vibrant anyway =D. Thanks for your time and any input is apreciated! OH! almost forgot, it would be for $13k trailered from Michigan - is this a good deal? I hear of people finding some for 9k-11k sometimes but I'm looking for something with low mileage. Thanks!
