There are a couple of pros and cons that come with buying such a car

Pro's -
-You dont need to spend any money modding the car
-Youre buying a car known by most
-Youre buying a car from someone with a bit of money so you can assume the cars been done up right
-Youre buying a pretty hot car, minus the graphics

Con's-
-Its auto, and to be honest i dont know why anyone would want an auto rex
-Youre buying a car known by most, so EVERYWHERE you go youre just driving the ex [CIN CAU] and it will never truly be your car in most eyes
-You dont get the satisfaction of building your own car (if thats an issue for you)
-The cars been done up for shows and looks so may not be as well done up as it could be ie lazy tune and whatnot

Just a few things off the top of my head, hope it helps to have someone elses opinion on the matter. I personally would stay away from anyones ex-showcar mainly just because everyone cops the 'ex' stigma, ie Wilko's old cars, [NGH] and several other examples, even Rob [PROTOTYPE] still cops flak for owning 'Bakkas' old car despite having owning it for several years and having modified it beyond recognition from its previous guise.

But.... your choice mate

The other problem, is that is has been through a few hands since its CIN CAU days - you have no idea how its been treated, modified, molested etc.

Plus auto FTL.
