Nice! Could be a smokers car thou . . . See the lighter in the front bin?

 

Looks very nice . I've never seen the car so these are things I would comment on any used car.

The history has Mn, Iowa , and a phone contact in Pa ? How many people owned this car ? Does the seller have the title?

Claims that it was serviced at Champion . Why not take it there for an inspection ?
Dme scan, paint meter check, also check for any water damage .. big rain storm in Miami not too long ago.

If everything checks out clean .. this may be a great car but without an inspection and a title -- it's just a pretty photo .

 

nice catch, i sure hope not with all that alacantera. a burn hole could explain why he has an extra door panel in his feedback.

 

Thank god for that bin cover, I almost forgot what brand of car that was.

is this a common interior on these? i havent been looking long but havent seen it before. how much extra was it? msrp guess on the whole car?

 

Good eye!

I almost bought a noble that had the yellow tree air freshener hanging from the mirror.

I had a subie STI that had been smoked in before. Nothing worse than stinky alcantara. You just cannot get it out. You'll always get a whiff of it, like a smoking room in a hotel.

 

Yeap, selling single alcantara door panel on eBay is a bit suspicious. He also recently bought a set of GT3 brake cooling ducts, an indication that this car was likely heavily tracked.

I asked the seller about smoking in this car. Lets see what he comes back with

 

everything seems to be ok with the car but i may have found one i like more, from the seller

1. The noise was from a loose bolt on the bumper. The tech forman tightened it down and inspected the area. Gave me the green light and I never heard it again

2. Car has NOT been to anysort of track, esp not a drag which is only abuse on a vehichle.. Original Brake Pads with plenty of life will prove this car has only been used lightly on the streets.

3. I bought it from a Lawyer who had it in his collection of cars. Had 7k miles

4. I do not smoke nor do I allow anyone else to in the car. Clean fresh interior with that leather new porsche smell still

5. Those panels show Carbon fiber and are from a GT2..g I thought it would look asthetically good... but as mentioned, i cancelled the transaction due to only 1 panel..

 

Sounds like a good deal. Definitely like the Alcantara interior.

 

I think it's a great car with excellent options, including the sport chrono package. It appears to have been lowered. Make sure the suspension rides well because of this. And as far as the alcantara interior is concerned it's a little more than what I would prefere, but if you like it I think the price for the miles driven are attractive.

what is the name of this color interior and is it closer to black or white?

 

I would say it is the stone grey...slightly overexposed.

 

I actually had a chance to drive this vehicle when I was going through miami. I believe he is on this forum, actually.

Anyhow, I'll just be honest, there is good and bad.

The good: I'm highly allergic to smoke, and there was NO smoke smell, I would have noticed. The interior looks very VERY nice, and yes it has been lowered, which worried me until I drove it, it still drives VERY nicely.

The other good, HRE's aren't cheap. And they look very good on the car.

The bad. The front bumper had some very minimal damage. It almost looks like someone pulled up a little too close to a wall or something and bumped against it. I don't know what it would take to fix it ,but it was enough to keep me from doing the deal.

That being said, other than that, the car looked and felt good.

 

90k, good deal!
