I have owned this car since it had 17K miles on it and have driven it only about 5K miles a year. I have taken good care of it and have really enjoyed owning it. This board has helped me immensely and I hope that the next owner gets the same pleasure from owning the car as I do.

Pluses:

Enthusiast owned and maintained

Ultra low mileage

Runs like a top

Pulls high 130s on MAF test

Low to no VANOS noise

Nearly immaculate interior

Known issues:

Single pixel white line on the NAV screen (pictured - not really worth the expensive fix)

Scuff and small crack on front plastic bumper below driver fog light (can be painted - not worth it in my opinion)

Scuff on rear bumper plastic right rear quarter (pictured)

Some grease stain in the trunk compartment carpet (from when I moved my bike around)

Very light curb rash on right hand wheels

Cracked driver's fog lamp (I will replace before sale)

Hopefully the pictures will illustrate the shape of the car. Please feel free to ask questions. People who lowball me will be ignored - this is not a beater.

Asking $21K obo.

Good luck with the sale. I'm not sure if its just me, but I could not view the pics.

Seems like Picassa is not serving up the images consistently. I will move them to another service later today...

mamsterla · 24th June 2009, 02:28

Pictures moved to new host and seem to be working find now...

Bump. Car still for sale. Just finish front suspension work at GT International - drives like new now.

It seems like your passenger side exhaust is hanging lower or at least out of alignment. Is there a broken hanger or any type of rear end collision?

sor118 - A Corvette short stopped and got under my bumper. I replaced the plastic but did not have the exhaust rehung. I checked that the bracket is bent, but not broken. I will try to straighten it out and take a picture. I can bring it into any muffler place prior to sale and have it leveled. There was no other damage from this accident.
