I've seen this car listed on Ebay a few times before. I think the general consensus on the board was that the smoked lights were... an unusual choice (trying to be diplomatic).

the lenses look like crap. replace them with OEM and replace the decklid with something more appropriate for a street car, and you have what looks to be a pretty nice condition C4S. And, it's got the coveted 24 valve engine

Never at a loss for an opinion, always an interesting read from you. Too bad I haven't seen many of them in the lounge lately.

Car is local to me. I was at a different wholesaler, looks like he flipped it due to non-sale. I will take a look if you would like and are serious.

It's now lowered and the asking pricing has gone up 4k. Posted this car when I was looking a couple months back....

I'd be a little concerned about the PO's priorities. They spent so much $$$ on stereo and bling features, but failed to do the suspension. Look how high the car sits. I'd give the car's maintenance records a thorough investigation before pursuing.

Some of us leave our car at the stock height on purpose.

Mark - no doubt, but I find it odd that an owner would pay so much attention to cosmetic features and not lower it; thus, it's likely still on original shocks at 78k miles. Sometimes folks get so involved in beautification that repairs fall to the wayside. That's my only point.

That tail is F#&%ing rediculous. If you want something that looks like that I think you should buy an old Super Bee!
