Default Yellow S4 5spd in Pheonix

http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/4567306819.html

Beautiful looking car. I don't think I've ever seen this yellow on a non-gts. Must have been a color change when they removed the rubstrips? Very nice.

I thought Speed Yellow was late in the piece for the GTS?

I'm not sure that a gear change pattern over the interior temp sensor is such a good idea...

No air pump filter, prob no air pump. Not a good indicator for CA buyers

You are supposed to say it only when it is true.

It is true. Cap on the hot post is there, but the "boxy" cover over the whole area is not.

Jerry,
The hot post cover is missing in the photographs of the engine bay. Are you seeing it differently?

Yes, I see that the black thing is not there but what is the blue plastic cover over the hot post called?

I was referring to the cover for 14 pin con. Geesh.
Back to the car... nice options on it. One day I would like to try a manual with the lsd.

Interesting that the fuel rail covers are painted to match the intake - not sure I've seen that before..?

The inside sensor port is presumably damaged underneath that - it will certainly prevent the climate control closed loop mode from working very well

Seats look to have been worked on some - not really bad but a bit different looking (stuffing, cover install).

I think generally it looks pretty good - and these things are pretty easy to fix. In Phoenix lack of a hot post cover is unlikely to make much difference to the 14 pin connecctor condition, (obviously there are other reasons to have one).

Even if the air pump is gone an airpump filter cover would be nice... they rarely look for emissions equipment here - but this is a bit of a red flag.

So was it a silver car before the color change?
