Wow that's an awesome deal! Check for leaks in the supercharger nose area, also spin the charger, if it feels like it's rough or grinding, then it will need a rebuild ($1000).

Why doesn't he know the mileage? That makes me suspicious. Make sure you get a 19mm socket and breaker bar and physically turn the motor over by hand to make sure it isn't seized.

I'd offer $1000 and go from there.
 
so i picked it up this afternoon it was every thing he said it was motor was clean no leaks S/C seams fine paid 1200 i think i got a good deal for a 2nd gen S/C and motor the guy said it came out of a taco a guy pissed off his girl friend and she lit the truck on fire hahaha glad im not that guy
 
Reminds me of when one of the car mags (Motortrend maybe?) put a second motor in the hatch area of a CRX Si, driving the rear wheels.

Bolt that sucker up! Now THAT would be a mod!
