I've never been crazy about the Lorinser body packages, but that's just a personal preference. Also, this car has had 4 prior owners. Unless you just have to have that body package, I think the price is a bit high, even given the low miles. Now, a stock one-owner with 17K miles, that would be a nice find.

I am mostly an OEM guy and most other Lorinser kits I am not a fan of, but that kit really catches my eye. Amazing how cheap you can get these cars.
I agree, the history on this car is a bit sketchy, I noticed on the car fax that there were non-stop "predelivery inspections" -- weird.

It's not uncommon to see a bunch of PDIs when a car sits on the lot a long time. You'll see that the car arrived at the original dealership (RBM of Atlanta) on 6/12/2010. it was transferred to Ft. Lauderdale and for sale there on 9/28/2010. It sat there until it was sold dealership on 2/23/2013. During this time on the lot, it would be demoed or just moved around to keep the lot looking fresh, so any issues (dead battery) would go into service for repairs. When there is an actual repair, like replacing the battery, it will be noted, but often, it just need charging, or maybe the shop could not determine the problem, so they just note it on the VMI as "PDI".
