Just remember, any story you're willing to overlook today is going to cost you in resale down the road so your purchase price better reflect that.

100% this ^^^.

Everything I found made it sound as if it was halogen low and high beams as standard.

For instance, this document on page 90 mentions the xenons being brighter in both dipped and main beam mode. Which makes me think it is halogen for both main and high beam. You'll also notice the color is different in the pics between halogen and xenon, so I'm guessing those headlights are both in low beam (normal) mode and the halogen are actually halogen low beams.

You'll also notice that code I600 has no control unit/ballast, only needed for xenons. This is lightweight halogen headlamps, both for the .1 (standard) or .2 (optional).

Code I601 which is for Xenons has the control unit/ballast, only needed for xenons.

Code I603 which is for dynamic cornering has the control unit/ballast, only needed for xenons.

There are some cars, facelift E39 M5 for instance, that have xenon low beams and the halogen high beams.

Beautiful! Good luck with the sale, but I don't think it'll be needed.

Regards,

Lance

Anyone have any thoughts on the price of the 2010 GT3 at Dick Barbour? Have been in touch and very tempted to move on it.

Seems spot on. They may have a bit of room in that price, but given other cars in the market, it's fair. Welded lines. Original paint. $89k. 62k miles. WP0AC2A96AS783254

I would want to do a deep dive on things that can go wrong at higher miles and see if they've been addressed already including suspension and steering. Never tracked. Wow. Now that's a commuter car!.

Don't dawdle too long Todd.
Not too much to go wrong except perhaps needing an LSD rebuild?
If you take delivery, bring it over, we'll put in on the lift and look around.

Irish Guitar is crazy for selling this car. Going to need a huge bag of dough for PTS 4.0!
