Seems like the price is kinda low but there is a huge fartcan on the back, which i will be buying if i buy this car. It looks pretty good and i love Vbp ep3's so lemme know what you guys think.

+1 whenever I'm car shopping I get the whole "month of free carfax reports" thing for like 20 bucks. You run the VIN on EVERY SINGLE CAR you browse. I'd rather spend 20 bucks carfaxing then 2 thousand repairing flood damage or something.

Well from the looks of the bottom grill it has been painted so its possible that it may have been in an accident or was such bad condition that it was repainted. So I mean there some clues on top of carfax.

absolutely not.
A friend of mine bought a s10 for his first truck. He went to the guy's house, talked to him a bit about it, it had low mileage and he test drove it for about 5 or 10 mins. The very next day his CEL comes on and is showing 4 different codes, they then decide to do a carfax on the truck and he finds out the truck had been in not one, not two, hell not even ten .. but 13 different accidents. and obviously the previous owner reset the ecu right before he came over.

like draw said, it is so much easier to just spend $20 than the potential thousands of dollars, time and headache trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with something you just bought.

What do mean by that?
Not all parts of Bklyn are bad.

And for your info 718 is for Bklyn, Queens, and the Bronx.
