saleen no ac seats. they would be buttons on the bottom of the dash right below the heated seat buttons. as for pricing just depending on the market in your area. 35 around here would be a little high .

Paint needs a good detail to get all that swirling and micro marring out, but those seats look almost brand new. That's amazing for a 54K car..!! Looks very clean and well taken care of.

He's wrong. That button activates the charcoal filter. Ventilated seat button is below the heated seat button.

Why is the airbag in the steering wheel blue when everything else is grey?

Airbag is different color as it was in an accident more than likely as the deployed and was replaced with something that did not match. Make sure you get something to look at it and see if it had an body work.

+1 on the paint. Otherwise in really nice shape.

Hopefully some pro detailing and you can bring that paint back to life.

Bout the only thing wrong with it that I can see.

Someone correct me, but I believe Pano Roof adds 100lbs or so the the total weight. In case that matters to you. Clean otherwise.

I think it might be even more than that I was when I rolled over the scales at Texas Motorplex for a 4450lb weigh in with less than a 1/4 tank of gas...It does look cool from the inside and out though...

Canada is a little weird now. Their dollar had risen a LOT, but their prices from when it was less are still about the same, so everything seems like it costs a lot more to me when I go up there when it's really just the almost 1:1 exchange rate...

Saleen01: The car appears to be in good condition but like mother before me have said, I would look into the airbag deployment thing. You are looking at a black car, hence you have to be prepared to work hard prevent swirl marks no matter if you buy it new or pre-owned.

To learn about original equipment that came with the car, input vin number at this site...http://www.mbclub.ru/no_vin.html/ It was down while being updated but should be up again soon.

I have Pano with Solar Panels and it is a delight, I am not concerned about any extra weight issues.

In my past life i sold cars and had my own dealership. The easiest way to tell if a car has front end damage is the measure the hood/ fender gap. I looked at the photos of the headlights and e driver side gap seems wider than the passenger side gap. Anyone else see what i am talking about?? Onve you have a front end collision or any type involving the hood the hinges can not be aligned back to factory spec. Near impossible.

i wonder that if the flash is making the steering wheel look different...
i'm upset that it doesn't have ventilated seats
i spoke to mercedes where the car was always serviced, said that it was never repaired for an accident there...but i know he could have had it repaired elesewhere....i think i'll pass on the car especially since I am in Toronto and its in Vancouver...
I had the car insspected by the BC CAA they did a 150 point inspection and it passed...
the accident thing freaks me out..........
