How many over-revs and in what ranges? Also, has it been tracked? Looks like it's been flogged. I'd definitely get a PPI.

Slight over-rev in range 4. The car has been tracked a few times by my 3 year old nephew around the house. There's a few rock chips on the hood but nothing major. PPI came back good. Clean carfax too.

I suspect you'll soon run into battery problems with that one. Should be an inexpensive fix, tho.

Probably would have cost $50 if it was green.

I would suggest plugs and coil packs. Love the color.
