Is there a problem with getting a new car that has had work done on it? There is a nice GTP but it'* had a new supercharger, alternator, and something called an str pump?

Just about all used cars will have something replaced on them.

Ask to see proper documentation if it'* a private seller

And run a carfax to make sure that the stuff mentioned was the only stuff replaced or repaired (assuming it was done at a shop, and not the driveway)

Because the only people that replace couplers are Magnusson/Eaton and people on forums like that.

str pump should mean power steering pump.
