Thanks! Once I saw this color I had to get it and the person that owned it before me kept it immaculate. I have never seen one this color before. I know that there's only 194 made but does anyone know the color breakdown?

Thanks everyone! Its Tanzanite blue metallic with alpaca gray interior and it has 52k on the clock but it looks like it has 10k miles at most and could easily pass for having 5k miles. Its completely stock unmodified. The owner took superb care of it you couldn't buy a car from a better person. The interior is flawless the passenger and rear seats look like they have never been sat in and the driver looks like it has only 5k miles of seat time I only see 1 very very small crease mark. The rest of the interior is flawless. The paint shines like new it has 2 small rock chips that have been touched up. And there is not a spec of dirt on the car not on the wheels (none in any of the the bolt heads), undercarriage, door jams, engine bay or anywhere else you'd expect dirt to be in. The previous owner keeps all his cars like this he's the model person you would want to buy anything from.
Funny thing is I was about to pull the trigger on a black/black one I had already called and left a voice message saying I would buy it. But a week had passed and I didn't get a return phone call. So I browsed around and found this blue one within minutes of it being posted. I drove there right away and bought it on the spot. While we were in the middle of exchanging money and the title/keys the owner of the black one called me to talk about buying his car lol.
Right now I am enjoying it but it does seem like it could use some more umphhhh so I may be doing a speedriven ecu/tcu tune which would be the only mod I would ever do on this car. However I am 50/50 on it because I also think about keep it completely stock since its in such great condition. To tune or not to tune? That is the question...

Gotta be less than 192 since your car and mine are both black... hahha Anyway you look at it these cars are rare.
to the OP, as far as the tune, the car wil still be stock with just updated software, nice way to think of it! Normal driveability is not lost. For all you know at one time the car had a tune, regardless of what you choose to do its still a cool car, I hope I never get tired of mine!

Thanks for the compliments. Funny you should say that about the ic pump because I am also replacing it during this time. The car has 52k on it and the pump has never been changed so I thought it would be a good idea to replace it.

Good luck with the car, not a bad move to go with a tune you will enjoy it. If the I/C pump is not being done at the dealer be sure to have the I/C pump system bled properly, it is not easy and will result in a car that doesn't feel that fast,if not done right (even with a tune). The problem is in some cases the car is too smooth to feel fast, but the speedo doesn't lie. The tune will make it more responsive as well. Have fun and share results.

Again thanks for the compliments everyone.
I also believe that the ic pump was dead because the car didn't feel fast at all to me I swear it felt similar speed to my e55.
UPDATE: Well I took the car to my indy mechanic friend that knows these cars well he hooked the car up to stars sds and the ic pump is working fine and the car doesn't have any codes at all. He took it out and said it feels like a strong running cl65. He just finished doing coil packs on a 04 cl600 earlier that day and he said that the cl65 would wipe the floor with it and that its way more powerful. I don't know, I still think its a slug it doesn't feel fast like everyone raves about it. Keep in mind I also have the speedriven ecu/tcu tune.
