Sorry, if I'm buying a used car, it has to be from the stereotypical "old lady, hardly drove" category or I'm passing.
I would never purchase one that's modded for power. Obviously, if the previous owner altered the vehicle for more pull, there is a more than likely chance he dogged on it. One doesn't add speed enhancers just to cruise the boulevard.. Just saying..
Especially if it's a manual; you could never tell how worn a clutch plate is, with today self-adjusting clutch, so that's always a roll of the dice.
