Different good or bad?

OP and I both bought from the seller, if you guys wanna save a few bucks send them an offer through message, and ask for a paypal invoice.

As far as the wheels, I've seen a few cars with DBS's as well. just not my style to put on higher model wheels on a lower model car. OP and I went with Vantage Sport pack wheels, and I couldnt be happier.

Slightly harsher ride but much grippier. Also, night and day improvement in the rain. I have these on another car and have been waiting for Michelin to add the sizes for the DBS, which have only just come out.

Those 22" wheels on the second ad look hideous.

The interior looks very good in those colours, but ... err ... the interior is completely standard. Looks like it was a very nice car once

Ironically I noticed an ad a couple days ago on Autotrader.ca for the hideous body kit conversion job I linked in the OP for $49.5k. It's now been removed but had the car in Vancouver and not Scottsdale as was posted in the ebay ad. The low price and ad removal can only mean that it was a fraudulent ad from someone who was running a phishing scam (pretty common on online auto ad sites).

But when I first saw it, I thought, "Wow, they've actually offered it for a fair price. That's about how much you'd have to buy it for if you wanted to rip off all the ugly kit work and return to stock". Note the actual vendor has now dropped the price by a modest 3k.

Also amusing that the scammer thought _that_ would be a great car to attract AM buyers!

Yeah, saw the ad on autotrader.ca and thought the same thing: almost priced so you could afford to put it right again. And then it was gone
