Honestly, that looks like a nice car. Only thing that stands out is the fact that he has put performance parts on it, and customized and tuned it. I say it as a double edged sword.
The positive is that he knows about these cars and what to look for and do to them to keep them up (plus I see a V70 in the background).
The negative would be this; your knowledge about the car and what mods he did to them. I would ask about that tune he got and make sure it was a good company because an 18t can definitely blow your engine with a bad tune. You dont get an 18t without supporting mods and a good tune (might I add he did get supporting mods for that turbo). I would recommend driving it so see if it is in the awesome running condition he says it is in, and check out his receipts because he is listing a lot of new parts (most fairly significant money). One more thing, ask to see if he did a compression test on that engine. You never do all these mods on a bad engine (plus it never hurts to see how the engine is holding up).
From looks it seem great, but do your research. If everything checks out, you will be getting getting a nice car for a great price. Hope that helps man

Yeah I seen the car in the backround which makes me think this guy knows his stuff about volovs. Seems like hes being upfront about everything too. Thanks for the advice though... very helpful! I was unaware that the turbo he has in there could blow the engine. ill be sure to double check that when I go to look at the car in a few days.
I'll let you know if i decide to buy it
