Okay.. Need advice on this one I found. I like the color combo quite a bit. What do you all think of this based on it's options, mileage and price? It's a 2 owner car from Beverly Hills originally.

Also, anyone know what wheels these are? The guy selling it doesn't know what his friend had put on. He did sell off the original wheels.

Odd, question - which has more rear seat room?
Coupe, in the Cab the top well & popup roll-bar frames take up some rear seat room.
The seat backs are also a little more upright due to this. That said if you remove the seat backs and use a foam pad you get some of the room back.

See post 14 for what fung0001 did. His daughter did not like how upright the seat backs were so he got a foam pad. She must be small because he was able to leave the back in place.

"Perfect first car" for sure. Don't love the 19's but everything else looks great.

I might be biased on the color combo, though.

2004 Turbo Specs
Coupe - Curb Weight - Manual Trans 3395 lbs -- Tip/Auto Trans 3,494 lbs
Cabrio - Curb Weight - Manual Trans 3660 lbs -- Tip/Auto Trans 3,749 lbs

Big weight differences to me, but get what you like!

I do like that car better than the red one. What other mods does it have besides wheels?

It's completely stock other than the wheels. No idea what kind of wheels they are either.

Nice looking cab - the interior appears to be perfect- not sure about the " selling for a friend "
i have to have a cab to drive in the summer months but for a all season DD a coup is more practical

I've talked to the guy at length. He really is selling it for his friend.

Anyone know what wheels those are on it?

I'm having a PPI done on Thursday along with an over rev report.

The wheels look a lot like HRE P40s, but there are also Chinese knock-offs that are very similar in appearance (Avant Garde), so you have to look close. BIG difference in quality/strength.

Thanks. If they are the real thing, they are good wheels, yea?

I'm still quite on the fence about cab/coupe but this one seems so clean it might just be a winner..

Not that I buy any car as an investment, but I know the coupe is going to continue to appreciate faster than the cab. I just hope the cabs don't lag too far behind...
