Yes been on the market for awhile, it's overly done to most and that's probably why it won't sell. If it was a factory speed yellow, it would have sold long ago...

Based on the mileage and if you can appreciate those mods, the price is fair especially for a car in Canada already too. With all that HP, you'll need to ensure many other components were upgraded accordingly too.

Car looks hot, negotiate on the price and clean it up a little, get rid if the playa sound system and all the extra decals. Should look nice and clean once you are done with it!

Boy racer car. But... Would be quite fun for a strictly toy situation. Low mileage but as everyone else said prior. Mods to that level make the value take a ?$&#. There is another one on the market. Even wilder. Same price. Less mileage. Might as well look at that one while your at it. It's white.

Definitely not digging the steering wheel but that is an easy fix

I don't think it is that bad if you are content with a 2 seater and not a 2+2 due to the stereo. You can find a stock tail and replace it. Steering wheel is a 30 minute job.

I would be wary of the tuning and make sure that the airbag on the steering wheel would function properly once a stock unit is put on. The Sport seats is a plus and the roll bar is worth some money.

Can't be too bad. It's not an evoms car. It seems that it may have been just a carrera in its first life. But it's only got 16k mi on it apparently. Too much body work though for me.

Looks nice - originally listed for double the money. Good luck with your search - take a look at the white car and let us know...
