Ran into a guy selling a 91 GT in which I want but I have a few questions, and thought maybe I could get some feedback on this. Here's what he says it has:
Six month old paint job.
Saleen Transmission
Short Gear Shift Kit
Perfomance Headers
Performance Air Intake
Saleen Spoiler
Black Leather Intetior
Metallic Silver Cobra Wheels
And 56,000 on the odometer.
Ok, so all sounds great, and it's a great price. So I took the VIN and paid for a CARFAX. Showed the vehicle had 138,000 at a DMV check in October of 1998. So I hit him up about that asking him why the CARFAX and the mileage don't match and his answer was that he put in a new engine. So should I just stay away from this all together? Is there any way to tell (other than paperwork, which I'm going to ask for) that a new engine has been put in the vehicle? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.
