Anyone know this BS?

Hi - hoping to seek advice about a car for sale. Car has 11k miles and appears to be stock (except for cosmetic blackout changes to factory rims and window trim). Per Carfax, 3 owners (Newport Beach, CA , Florida and now f/s in Ohio).

Curios if anyone knows this car or has any advice to share about known maintenance items on these cars? Thanks in advance!

Know this one has been on the market for at least 8 months. Not necessarily a bad thing, because it isn't uncommon for these niche cars. That said, think they'd be inclined to deal...

BTW...had to swap my 996 for the Black...no room

Haha, I've read your post about swapping out Pcar for BS. It's your fault I'm looking at Black Seies now (seriously, no exaggeration of the truth!). I myself am struggling with room, but am actively searching for additional space (don't want to sell pcar).

Yeah, current dealer mentioned they picked this car up from a Florida dealer. I Located FL dealer listing and looks like current dealer removed the window tint. That is all I know about car (no paperwork/svc records exists with car). Dealer says paint is clean and has clear bra (no swirls or curb rash).

I'm not in a rush to buy, just looking for a clean low mileage with no stories. Anyway, I appreciate your insight!

If you haven't driven one yet....dooettt That's what closed the deal for me. After six months, no regrets, no issues with the car.

Were the wheels refinished? Looks like the previous owner had painted the barrels black...

Looks very clean none the less.

Not sure if wheels were refinished, I'll see if dealer is aware. I agree the barrels look painted. A wrap on that type of wheel would be difficult. I appreciate your insights.

You're evil.....I wish there was one to test drive at local dealer. Unfortunately, with limited availability I'll have to roll the dice and travel for the test drive and hope its in excellent shape.

Any thoughts on pricing for lower mile car (subjectivity assumed)?

Happy to share any information you request if you would consider looking at my car for sale. Here is the link. http://www.planetautoimports.com/web...olina/8815821/

Jeff Tomascak, owner at Planet, is consigning the car for me. Two owner, California and NC, excellent condition, clean Carfax, 27K miles, upgrades powder coated Red calipers and titanium powdered wheels, just serviced at Hendrick Mercedes Northlake Charlotte. $64900 asking.

Thanks for your consideration. I have several cars and have moved on to Nobles and Rossions.

Spent almost a year looking. If you're patient, you can pick up a below 10k car for high 60s to low 70s (likely a black one vs one of rarer colors), with the occasional mid-60s car coming on the market...the later usually selling quickly. As an example...my car had 5,600 miles, new corsas (BTW...these suck as a daily street tire...swapped them), fully documented maint history, no track time and clean PPI. Dealer asking price $78,500...final price $71,500. Happy hunting.
