The good: This is a great vehicle that has been very reliable for the past few years. It has numerous upgrades that have been made to make it a real performer. It would be a great track car or even a weekend cruiser. It has been used as a daily driver for quite some time, although as you can tell from the mileage, it has not been driven that much. The interior looks like it is new. The interior would rate at a 9/10. Very clean, non-smoker vehicle. The exterior also looks great. Everywhere it is driven, there are always questions and compliments. With the modifications and upgrades, this vehicle gets just as much attention as some of the more exotic vehicles I have driven. The vehicle has been debadged, the hood is a fiberglass, vented, race hood. The front bumper was changed to a performance style that is more vented and lower to the ground. Although not added, the vehicle will include matching side skirts and rear bumper. The front blinkers were upgraded to low profile LED and the tail lights have custom eye lids to black out parts. The wheels are chrome but plastic dipped. The headlights were changed to the upgraded factory black out. Black door handles are included but not installed to complete the dechroming. A tinted, custom Lexan windscreen has been installed. The engine has a GM Performance Stage 1 upgrade, which allows the vehicle to take advantage of higher turbo boost and also utilize other upgrades that have been added. It has a K&N performance intake and a Solo Race Exhaust. The sound is incredible for a 4 cylinder and it definitely goes, while still averaging 25MPG in town. Even with the added performance, there is no drone while cruising. The car is inspected, runs beautifully, and has no known mechanical issues.

The vast majority of the repair was cosmetic, including the hood, bumper, fender, headlight, and some brackets. No airbags were deployed and all of the damage was consolidated to the left, front quarter. Anything that was even questionable was replaced, nothing repaired, no reuse of any affected part. All of the repair was performed by a master repairman who regularly deals in every exotic maker known. Walk into his shop any day of the week and the Germans and Italians are all proudly up on racks being fixed. No expense was spared and even parts that were not damaged were replaced as a precaution if in doubt. All parts were factory new. Anything not related to cosmetic repair was performed by the dealership. From the basic A/C recharge to replacing the computer (due to potential housing damage) were all done at great expense through the dealership. When everything was completed, the car was gone through again to check everything by the dealership again. The best alignment shop in town has it easily aligned almost perfectly (rare even on a brand new car). The ugly: Everything was done by the best mechanics that could be found. The exception is the front bumper. It is not up to my satisfaction. I was going to plastic dip the whole vehicle to give it a matte finish, so I was not too concerned with it at the time. If were to keep the car, I would have the bumper taken off, painted again, trimmed a bit, and refitted. It could then be perfect. There are no functional issues with it, it just does not cosmetically match the level of the rest of the car in my eyes. The style is great and makes it look higher end, but the new owner will probably want to address it at some point. At 10ft, it is barely noticeable, but just not the kind of thing I like. Summary: This is a great car and I do not regret putting all of the effort and expense into it. I will gladly put the top down and drive it anywhere. I usually take it on the several hundred mile trips that I take once or twice a month. It is a head turner and performs really well. It would be hard to find another vehicle that looks this good and performs this well at anywhere near this price. I would not buy this vehicle if you are expecting a show car. It isn't that. It looks really good and the condition is in line with the mileage, no doubt. The only reason I am moving on is because I have my eye on a Vette and the toys have to go first. Payment: A deposit is expected immediately, with the balance due by verifiable funds upon pick up. If you would like to inspect it, please do so prior to placing an offer or bid. A purchase agreement is a binding contract. I have bought and sold several very expensive vehicles on Ebay and I do my best to describe everything accurately.
