Would that happen to be a black car?

yeah, sounds like a launch car based on the options and also on the fact that not many voluntarily chose PCCBs... or at least not that I've seen... launch cars had a build date of ~aug 2004 if i'm not mistaken... so that means the car is almost 6 years old!!! for that price, even with the low miles i'd say you should offer a bit lower and see what happens... you also need to check the maintenance... even at that low of mileage there are several items that should have been done due to age (i.e. plugs, tranny fluide, brake fluid flush, etc.)...

That link is better then the first link!!!

Providing it passes inspection that looks like a buy. Only drawback is no warranty. That being said I don't think it wil last at that price. The two previously mentioned things that wouldn't concern me are the "plugs" and "tranny" fluid.

ericthepilot

yes it is
something wrong with that ?

Tx !!!

no, i think he was asking to see if it was a launch car. that means the original msrp was about $99k and change. if it was, with that low mileage, id say its a good buy.

Car is practically brand new. If its been taken care of, I cannot see why you wouldn't buy it. Mine has almost 19k miles and it still feels like a brand new car.

The $8K ceramc brake option is a MAJOR bonus! I would love to have this option (not for the yellow calipers) but because I love the idea of no brake dust and not having to replace pads rotors for many, many, many miles...

If its the car you want, buy it!

Enjoy,

Steve

Cannot imagine why the front brake pads were replaced. With ceramic brakes, this would send up a red (ok, maybe a light red) flag. I'd want to know why they had been replaced...
