Vehicle Detail
As I am not a car dealer, I will keep the description short and to the point. I purchased this car in 2008 as a summer vehicle. At the time I purchased the car, the mileage was 56,404. Over the last five years I have put less than 2,000 miles on the car and the car is always garaged. It has never been in the rain during my ownership. The title is clear and it is a non-smoker vehicle. I believe I may be the third owner. Shortly after purchasing the car, I installed four new Yokohama tires and purchased an after market shift knob that matched the interior far better than the factory knob. Both knobs go with the car. The car starts, runs and drives the way one would expect, the interior is a 9.5 on a scale of 10 and the exterior is a 9 on a scale of 10. The BBS Wheels are very nice and have the hidden valve stems. The car always attracts attention. The only two items that may need to be addressed is: 1. On occassion, the Air Conditioner does not function at full capacity. I was told to replace the compressor so I purchased a new compressor. I never had it installed as the A/C continued to work. The new compressor will go with the car....2. The car developed a rattle in the right passenger side last year. I took the car to my mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle as needing a new Shock Mount and two new Sway Bar Bushings. I purchased the parts late in the 2012 and never had a chance to have my mechanic install them. I would definitely have my mechanic do this work if the car were to go back on the road and recommend that the next owner have the parts installed. No one wants a luxury sports car with a rattle. The parts will go with the car. As the pictures accurately reflect the excellent condition of the vehicle, there should be very few questions. However, should you have questions, my cell phone is 781-771-7006. Please, no trades! My reason for selling is that I purchased a new Hyundai.
