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

******* 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.

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, 03:28

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.
