Default what are your thoughts on buying a used supercharged car?

I was searching around for 2000 si's and i found a nice black one, 112,000 mi, it even has a carbon fiber hood scoop. It's coming with a supercharger, do you think I should buy it or should i just forget it (because obviously someone was beatin it up)

also, it says FI engine, anybody know anything about that engine?

7 grand, i kinda want it.

Jackson Racing Superchargers for these cars are resilient little buggers. I've never seen one shread or break.

FI engine, don't know what that is other than it was rebuilt for the the supercharger possibly?

Go drive it, make sure it doesn't buck/skip, idles correctly, make sure it shifts nice and make sure there is no "burning clutch" smell when you get on it.

Supercharged Si for 7K isn't half bad though that's for sure.
