1. You all think this car is worth it?? http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/cto/1400399244.html

2. The cars is automatic and the guy selling it says its only pushing 420whp at the moment. I want alil more power..like 550whp. What amount of power can this tranny handle, till i need a th400/sp400? If i do pick the car up i wanna do the trans cooler w/ spal fan.

3. Did some research on insurance costs, i got quoted 150monthly or 750 for six months. This alot for this car? i didnt even include my minor traffic infractions.

Thanks in advance! Hope to own one of these beauty's!

With the AEM, you have to be careful - it might be tuned great, or it might be tuned horribly...you just never know.
He doesn't mention the size of the single turbo. 420whp is a terribly low figure for a single turbo Mkiv 2jz-gte.
The oem TT auto can handle about 500rwhp reliably, depending on a lot of factors like how hard you drive it and how wide your rear rims & tires are.
