I found an 06 si coupe with 56,788 miles and they want 13,900 for it. It has K&N intake, throttle body spacer, dropped 1", under chassis braces, short shifter, and AEM/Greddy exhaust. I want to know if this seems like a good price and if there is any thing I should know about this year/car. The only thing wrong with it is there is a cd in the drive and won't come out. I test drove it and its handling is insane! (of coarse thats compared to a chevy avalanche that I currently drive). Also the clutch seemed to grab right away when letting out from all the way to the floorboard, is that normal? Any help would be great!

Oh and sorry if this is in the wrong spot, this is my first post.

Personally I tend to steer clear of cars with that level of modding. 06 variants had a small issue with the transmission grinding. That's about it.

Do a lot of 2-3 upshifts and see how the tranny reacts going into 3rd. The 3rd gear grind is the biggest/most common problem with the Si.

There was a TSB regarding rear wheel bearings leaking, I'm not sure if it was for '06 models though (I have an '07).

The clutch is pretty sensitive and it doesn't take much movement of your foot before it engages, so that sounds about right regarding what you described.

Good luck!

Ill sell you my 06 Si for $7000. Just broken in 167k on it. Clutch was done, tranny was rebuild by dealer for the 3rd gear problem, CAI and new oil pan with new belt and pulleys. lol

do you know what they did for the camber on the drop? You can either do a new bolt or a whole new arm. I've had issue with stock ride height and camber and just got new arms instead of bolts since I would have more adjustable parts.

The trans can be an issue for these cars. As others have said make sure its not horrid. There is a TSB out for it but in order to get it fixed the dealer has to be able to replicate the problem. It is worst when the car has been sitting and/or cold.

Might make sure it has had the ECU reflash to the 2007.5+ specs. That will help with the rev hang issue.

I wonder how much ricing has been done to that car. That level of modding isn't that bad, mostly weekend project stuff to squeeze out a handful of horse. And what type of exhaust does it have?
