Default Anyone know this GT2?

Looking for a Turbo and came across this. Looking at the ad raised lots of questions. I might buy if I knew the car was issue free with a clean history.

If I remember correctly previous reading on 6speedonline, the car is for sale by the owner over there and there was great controversy as it seems the car had some towing history with a hit with the divider or something like this. go check in the for sale section but I am pretty confident about what I remember on this car... too cheap

Google the company BBB rating. Scared me away from looking.

At that price, worth a solid look. Have a PPI done and then a trip to a reputable body-shop (if you can find one) to go over the car for repairs. Of course, do a Carfax, but that'll only tell you if it was fixed through insurance...and my experience is that many times they are not.

Be careful and good luck,

Google is an easy way to save yourself the grief.
The BBB and other informal sites have more than sufficient negatives on this dealer to warrant avoiding them even if the car was ideal.
