OK, one last on this topic. How many Californians remember Cal Worthington ads from the 1980s? Cal and his dog, Spot (which was played by every animal but a dog...). Sadly, this jingle was ingrained in my head growing up.
Cal Worthington grossed $316.8 million in 1988, making him at the time the largest single owner of a car dealership chain...

Check out the free cordless phone he was offering to buyers in 1989...

Sorry...we now return you to our regularly scheduled HFS 991 program...

Damn, what's left to salvage from that BBQ'd P-Car?

Also, based on the build date (March 2014) and first registration date (September 2014), it is likely still under factory warranty for another couple of months if there is anything that needs to get addressed right after purchase.

Not a ton of options, I'm sure most would prefer 18-ways, sport exhaust, full leather, etc. but it does have the paddle shift sport design steering wheel and Sport Chrono along with a few other goodies. Nice honest car IMHO.

I'm surprised someone hasn't reserved it yet!

Alright, update for everyone on this one. It arrived at my local Carmax and I’m waiting to schedule a test drive. I was able to call around and locate all the service records for it.

Had an oil change at 8600 miles, and another at 20,000. It had 10K service, but is overdue for 20K—needs the brake fluid change and cabin filter replaced—its about a year over due. Also recently, it had the Vacuum valve replace (COV issue I think), which seems to be relatively common. The good news is that the in service date is August 2015, so I’ve confirmed it has 15 months of factory warranty remaining. I Would like to see more frequent oil changes, but the service advisor I talked to didn’t seem to think it was a huge deal. Any concerns on the history?

Thanks.

For the money it looks like good car. I'm glad you're not getting hung up on what options the car doesn't have. It's a nice build.

Regarding oil changes, surely as long as the oil is changed as per service schedule, that should be fine? So every 20k miles or 24 months, whichever comes sooner, unless the car's 'brain' says it needs one sooner?

I agree. The oil changes are fine. Don't worry. If you buy it, I would do the service and a fresh oil change too. Going forward, I'd do it once a year even if driven under 10K miles.

The slightly delayed oil change is pretty trivial, and the brake flush and cabin filter are complete non-issues.

I'd focus on the condition and cosmetics... Is the exterior nearly perfect? Is the interior nearly perfect? Any signs of paint work or accident damage not reported on carfax?

On a low mileage, still under warranty car, you don't really have to sweat some of the other details nearly as much.

I would buy that car today if it was PDK. Perhaps there are enougn people that want the same, and i'd guess the interior isn't a lot of people's first choice.

Maybe someone can score a deal if it sits awhile; I would rather have a clean car for $70,, but at $60k that car becomes very attractive.

Nice build. Looks like PSE was added later on.

Anytime. I'm ok with accident if someone wants to save $$. Seems like always a $10K hit to value. As mentioned, close to $60K would be a nice deal considering happy with cosmetics.

Yes, you can CPO car with accident as long as no structural damage and no more than 3 repainted panels. CPO is just an extended warranty with a condition checklist for tire, brake, maintenance, etc requirements. Wouldn't let the CPO logo give you any more confidence in the cars condition. Have seen plenty heavily tracked cars and even ones that aren't up to CPO specs as far as tires and brakes for sale.

Looked at it today. It was in much rougher shape than I expected and I passed on it. Drove nice, but lots of interior blemishes, rock chips and the exterior was pretty dirty and didn’t appear in great shape. Also decided that if I was gonna spend this type of money, I’m going full leather.

I actually googled the VIN last night and found this car was previously on the HFS thread back in Jan. It’s been at CarMax for 6+ months. I appreciate the guidance on this one. Let the search continue!
