Vehicle Detail
I love this car but I've recently upgraded to a BMW M5, and I no longer need it. I bought it in April 2006 with about 14,000 miles on it and its been a great car to me for the last four years (and 75,000 miles). With a 6 speed manual transmission and 210 h.p., it is a blast drive. It corners extremely well and possesses great passing speed in the higher gears, yet it still generates decent gas mileage (22-24 mpg). The clutch is very user friendly and the car shifts with the greatest of ease. As any six year old car does, it has ordinary wear and tear, but overall the car is in very good condition. Whomever buys it will be getting a fun, solid automobile!

I've had it regularly serviced by the dealer and run full synthetic oil through it every 5,000 miles (I've got detailed service records). I put a new battery in it about 18 months ago and recently had new plugs installed. BODY - The body is in very good condition. There are a few little door dings and some small scratches but as you can see from the photos, overall she looks very solid. TIRES & WHEELS - The wheels look great. There are a few minor spots of curb rash (shown in one of the pictures) but not many. The tires are performance low profile tires. The front tires have about 3/4 of their tread left and the rear tires have about 1/4 left. INTERIOR - One of the main reasons I bought this car was the interior. The two-tone sport leather seats really make the cabin pop and are very comfortable. The front seats are in very good condition. The back seats have rarely been used and look brand new. No cracks, rips, or tears. The dash looks like an airplane's cockpit and is very cool. The clear coat rubbed off a few small places in the dash a few years ago but hasn't spread since. The carpet is in great condition and the floormats still look pretty good. The trunk is very big for a small sport sedan and is in excellent condition. ELECTRICAL - The A/C works great and blows very cold. The smart system works well (very sensitive) and lets you know the minute there is anything wrong with the car. The stereo/CD player sounds fantastic. The previous owner had subwoofers in the trunk and it is still wired for them if you are so inclined. KNOWN ISSUES - I know of two issues with the car. First, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System has not worked since I bought it. Since I can tell when the tires are low in air pressure, I view it as a superfluous option and never had it fixed. Second, the stereo amplifier in the rear seat on the driver's side has a short in it. It does NOT effect the way the stereo sounds (which is great) but if you leave the stereo on when you turn the ignition off, when you turn it back on, you will get feedback. This problem is easily fixed by turning the stereo off and on. When it comes back on, there is no feedback. The dealer said it would cost around $750 to replace the amp, but again, since it doesn't effect the way the stereo sounds, I never had it done. ACCIDENT - The car was in one extremely minor accident. It was rear ended in stop and go traffic and the bumper cover was cracked. My dealer's body shop installed a new bumper cover and you could never tell the car was in an accident. No frame damage whatsoever. If you have any questions or require further information, please email me or call (678-464-8916). I should be able to get back to you within 24 hours. The car is being sold "As Is," with no warranties express or implied.
