If you like the car and have the money it seems reasonable...you put a full exhaust on that car with headers and wow is it fast...

Looks like a solid platform to work with, I say don't hesitate, but you could live without the ten holes. Get stylin' on those rims.

I'd take the ten holes, and he could keep those butt ugly 17s. At least the ten holes are respectable but those on there now would have me throwing rocks at them.

The wheels in the pics are enough to make a buzzard puke on a wagon.....

Other than that looks like a good foundation for a fun car......

Let him switch the rims and make sure you give it a good once over and bring a different set of eyes to see what you don't. Also don't fall in love with the first one but it looks clean so good luck.

Things wear and thats a fact of life but if it's been taken care of then mileage shouldn't hurt you toooooo bad.

Check out the sticky at the top of the page on what to look for in a used fox. That car looks clean in the pictures. The 10 holes will look alot better.
