When they first put it on the market it was listed for $405k but they dropped it down to $375k after a few months. I ended up paying a good deal less than that still.

Congrats! Did you ever get info on the concern you had with the service history at 6k miles? Just curious if it's what we thought (just the pressure plate issue that is known).
Yes, you were right! It was a pressure plate failure although they weren’t able to recall if the clutch/flywheel was replaced with the 4.0.

I’m having Alex at Sharkwerks give it another look through while installing the muffler bypass in a few weeks. They’re booked out a full year for coolant pipe pinning so that might have to wait 😬

If the car is still in Florida ship it to Orbit and let them do the coolant lines.

+1, my car's lines were pinned at Orbit, they did a great job and the work looks identical to Sharkwerk's method

Okay time to experience one of these for myself. Going to look through the last several pages, but any leads for a .1 in or close to CA?

Seems like a nice car. The seat condition usually depends on how big the driver was. I have seeing lower mile cars with the seats full of creases. Not a big factor when I’m looking at car to drive and enjoy.

Roughly, how much is Orbit charging for the pinning or welding of the coolant pipes?

Yup and the front bumper at the fender wells. Those fasteners are not supposed to be there and the cup holder and associated side pieces are not installed properly.

22k mile Speed Yellow .1 $149,995. Full leather and PCCBs, though one of the PCCBs has all three wear indicators showing.

Hole in front bumper @ wheel wells. Who installs the black plastics over the paint.
The worst graphics. Shoddy print job. Shoddy cut job and shoddy application. The letters don't line up properly.
Wheels are in bad condition.
Tires that are almost 10 years old.

Whoever styled the car needs to be shot. Blacked out lights, tinted windows, carbon wing, graphics and intakes are just too much for that car
Believe this is the same car, it just changed dealers

The yellow car at Autokennel seems like a great deal if someone didn't already buy it.

Seems that Autokennel prices their cars very fairly and they don’t have cars with really bad stories. As long as the market is good, a lot their cars go quick or don’t sit for too long (over a month) in their inventory.
