ive got a 01 R/T but cant really compare prices because mine is swapped. the best 1/4 i got out of my car stock was a 16.2. seems like a good price, as long as its mechanically sound, id swoop it up....what kind/size rims, doyou know?

I think it has 16in. rims. If you do a google search on 2001 R/T, it's the same rims as in those pictures except the ones on the one that I am looking at are polished black. They look pretty sweet, especially since when it comes to cars, my favorite colors are red and black or all black.

I have also been looking at new intakes. Is the AEM cold air intake any good? I saw it on summitracing.com for like 270 bucks I think it was. Other than that, what are some other good intakes?

yep, same rims ive got on mine...black as well. but honestly i wouldnt pay that much for an intake. they are all just piping and they all do the same thing. you wouldnt see any noticable difference between a $20 CAI from ebay and the AEM one

None.

Since you'll be getting an 01 purchase an AF/xR PCM...

PCM stands for Powertrain Control Module.

You can purchase the AF/xR PCM's from www.HowellAutomotive.com

Ok...thanks.

Well, me and my parents went to look at the car today and it ran nice. Biggest bad thing I saw was that the rear bumpers color didn't match the rest of the car and was kind of scratched. Also, there is either a lose wire or a bad sensor in the emergency break so every once in a while it would ding and the e-brake light would light up even though we made sure it was all the way down. It also has 2 switches in the car that I am not yet sure what they are for...one is broken off so I couldn't flip it on or off and the other didn't do anything when I flipped it on or off..so I'm not sure.

Other than that everything looked good. Needs new tires though. What would be a good size? The ones on there are 195/50R16...and today when I called places to give me a price they said that they didn't carry that size...so would it be possible to put different sized tires on there? On Summit I found the right size for like 85 bucks a piece...only 2 different ones, both made by Kumho.

What I didn't know was that it had a 4-disc CD changer. Will that make it more difficult to install a different headunit? I have a Pioneer DEH-4800MP in my truck and was planning on taking that out if I got the car and putting it in there...along with my JL amp and subwoofer.

the paint fade on the bumper is normal. my 2000 was fading untill i got rear-ended and the person paid to repaint my bumper.

The switches could be for aftermarket lights or some mod the person put on. Just asked them.

The cd changer might not work with an aftermarket head unit. Mine didnt so u can take it out or leave it there.
