Bad:
  • Some minor rock chips on the hood, bumper and right above the windshield (what you'd expect from a 78k mile car) and maybe a couple on the rear quarters
  • The front tires have some uneven camber wear and probably only have a few thousand miles left on them. The rear tires are almost brand new 305/35 Michelin PSS's. They seem to be a little big for the stock sedan rear wheels, which to me makes it feel like there is a little roll to them when making lane changes.
  • The vinyl wrap on the interior trim started to peel in a couple places.
  • The paint is pretty good for a black car. The hood has some water etching but a good detailer should be able to remove it.
  • The plastic side engine beauty covers will not come with the car
  • The plastic under-engine shroud is not currently on the car nor has it been for my entire ownership. I have one that will come with the car. You're welcome to use it or not.
  • There is some slight wear on the driver's side door interior armrest from my knee resting up against it. Maybe 1.5" long.

Heads Up:
  • The car will only come with freshly powedercoated satin black 19" OEM wheels with almost new Michelin Pilot Super Sports (not pictured). The wheels pictured will not come with the car.
  • Unless you live at high elevation, I'd highly recommend not running more than a 50% ethanol blend as the pumps will likely be maxed out.

Price is $34,490 OBO. Car is located in Colorado Springs, CO. The car is being financed through Wells Fargo. Let me know if you have any questions. I tried to be as thorough as possible, but I may be overlooking something small. Feel free to text me at 706-718-0577.

GLWS! If only it was a few months from now I'd be serious about his car!

As if I needed another reason to envy a trip to CO

Given the numerically impossible screen name to remember, I would think this ought to be a seamless transition of ownership.

I just can't believe all the NON moon roof cars that have been listed lately! I thought I had only 1 of very few but it seems I don't! lol

I love the 4000' run at the track! Holy shit! For the guys who complain about BAD DA, when it's like 800-1000 ft, and it means like .1 maybe compared to -500ft! Well... STFU! LMAO...This car will run way better in 0 DA, never-the-less negative! VERY NICE CAR AND GLWS. The point is...the OP has every reason in the world to complain about DA at 4000ft, if he chose to! This is a low 10 sec car if it is over this way!

P.S. Best part is...NO ultra rattle roof!

If you were referring to my post then I fixed it a little just in case it was misunderstood. I was trying to say how much better your car would run in better DA. Either way...free bump! :cool:
