I am going to look at a 2004 enthusiast with 150k miles, owner says he just put in new clutch and catalytics. Any advice of stuff I should be weary about? Any advice would help!

 

Price? Modifications? What major repairs have been made, if any?

 

Maintenance records.

 

He just got a new paint job and he wants $7,000

 

I'd ask what repairs were made during painting or if it was strictly cosmetic. The asking price seems a bit in the high side for the age/mileage. I'd definitely invest in a Carfax (although no guarantee there wasn't damage to repair).

 

Pay for a full and independent mechanical assessment of the car. The owner should allow this if you're serious about a purchase.
