Seat covers are quite expensive. Rear upper seats are special as well so make sure to check them out as well. Dash pads frequently crack. Check the rear spoiler, make sure all the emblems are still on the car. Check the condition of the intercooler scoop as it is unique, see if he has the owners kit, see if the correct exhaust tips are on it! Etc....

Its all relative to the car and what you want to do with it. I just bought a non running tta for 5k. Actually traded a running/driving t-type for it. But the parts it came with and the shape of the car made it worth it to me.

yea know, when i look at it i'll snap some pics and post details, i'd do a few mods on it but mainly would be a driver and fun car for me just like the buick
