The time has come for me to sell my V, and I figured I would give the members of this forum the opportunity to see it first.
I've owned this vehicle since Summer 2016. It was a trade-in, and the owner moved to a 3rd gen CTS-V i believe. Many of the major modifications were done by Baker Engineering here in Michigan @ ~30k miles. I'm currently located in West Michigan near the lakeshore.
I've put ~10k miles on the car since I took ownership, and have meticulously cleaned and maintained it along the way. It has never seen rain, snow, or a racetrack in my possession. I've driven the car only on nice days to and from work, and on the weekends to get ice cream and cruise the lakeshore with the wife.

Exterior is a 9.0/10:
The exterior has typical/faint wind swirling, as I live in a very dusty farming community. I've detailed and waxed every 6 months, and kept everything in the same condition as when I bought it.
No minor/major scratches.
Zero dents, dings or other body imperfections.
Small rock chips can be seen on the front bumper and hood areas, all smaller than a pen point.
One of the rims has a couple faint scratches on it.
Interior is a 9.75/10:
Immaculate interior, except for the slight swirling on the gloss black interior panels. Its been impossible to keep those panels clean/swirl free.
Negatives/Transparency:
I really did hate the Centerforce DYAD clutch when I first bought this car. I got used to it, but the couple of times I got stuck in traffic with it were not fun at all.
The tune from Baker Engineering is not as smooth as it could be on low load cruising, especially while the car is warming up you can feel cam surge. Once it's warmed up, its fantastic. I've never worried too much about it, as I allow for a good 2 minutes before I head out.
While I was purchasing the car, it was noted on Carfax that there was an "Accident reported involving rear impact with another motor vehicle, Very minor damage reported - May/2015". Before I was willing to purchase, I managed to chat with the previous owner/dealership about it. I found out it was a light impact/jostle to the rear that left the other cars paint. The police were called, report made, insurance claim filed by the books. The paint residue left on the V buffed right out.
With that said, the car has been great to me and I will really miss it. I just dont use it enough to justify keeping it unfortunately. Although I'm not in a rush to sell, I have other hobbies that need the space in the garage!
If you have any questions, or need clarification please reach out!
