Wow. Nice ride. Sad to let it go but someone will get a nice low mileage car and will enjoy it.

Your spare tire looks different than mine. Mine has a "collapsible" spare tire. What does "SBC Updated at the dealership" mean? Did the dealership reset the counter? Or did the dealership replace the entire unit?
Besides pulley, are there any other modifications? It seems you mentioned the LTH was remove/replaced so I'm assuming there are exhaust modifications?
More details please!

I have never had to use the spare, but the overall condition leads me to believe its stock as delivered.
Invoice I have only tells me they updated software for SBC, as far as I know they are not allowed to reset counter and mileage would also lead me to believe that the counter is nowhere near end of life, as well warranty extension from MB would cover it if it failed.
No other modifications to vehicle, when I bought it in Arizona it had LTH headers and a Dynocomp tune, In CA LTH will not pass smog legaly, I purchased a complete OEM exhaust from headers to mid-section which I had installed and retuned by AGC. It has no other modifications . Prior to exhaust replacement I saw a max of 14lbs of boost which told me it has a 180 lower as it definitely has a stock upper pulley.
I also forgot to mention I also recently replaced all the wheel bolts with new ones from FCPEuro.
Thanks for the questions

I believe there was a software update to the SBC that is not the same thing as resetting it. With the low mileage I wouldn't worry too much about the SBC right now, plus the warranty is 25 years now.

You might want to update the original post. Not everyone is going to scroll down and see the price drop.

Would you mind emailing me pictures of the paint damage?

Would you be able to install/have installed the new brakes before the sale?

Do you still have the LTH?

Thanks!

You were asking $19.5, what was the lowered price? Sounds like a nice car and congrats.

Bahnstormer is correct , had to cut hole for wires but instructions were spot on. Car was originally listed at $19.5 and I then lowered it to $17.5k... responses ranged from just plain stupid low ***** to low, then a flurry of legit offers... came down to two guys with cash wanting to pick up before Christmas. Bidding, offers,counter offers ended at $19.5k. As
soon as I agreed new owner bought a plane ticket for two days later. Picked him up at airport, drove it a bit crawled all over it, went over records and receipts, did paperwork and he then drove it home 8 hours.
Overall a great experience for both of us. The marketplace photos saved so much time.
