To me, $10K too much solely for the reason that someone swapped the Carbon discos for steel hats.

When you ask all the money for a car, you should get ALL of the car for the money it commands.

Pretty convenient that service shop "misplaced" those.

Agree. That car was available when I was shopping a couple years ago and once I saw the PCCBs had been swapped, it was a non-starter, particularly for the top dollar it was priced at. Man, did I want that ruby red/aero combination though.

Just looked at this car, thanks for all the info. Interesting options sheet and no sunroof but price in 2018 maybe not that crazy. Not finding many $75K tidy '09s floating about.

Interesting, a sunroof delete car is rare, also noticed it originally came with black painted rims that are now chrome. There are a lot of +'s and -'s about this car so choose your poison. The fact that it's an 09 6MT coupe, Mezger, Aerokit, sunroof delete, and the (uncomfortable IMO) carbon seat make it desirable, but the color, no PCCB's, non-OEM rims, hood requires a re-paint, and the dealers "I won't negotiate" reputation are turn-offs. Also, since the car has been sitting for sooooo long I'm guessing it also needs new tires.and perhaps a battery.

Are you sure about the sunroof delete? It's not on the build sheet, by all accounts it wasn't an option in NA, and you can see the sunroof's outline in this photo:

You're right, I was referring to the earlier post that mentioned no sunroof. Failed my due diligence task, sorry.

As far as I can tell he's saying he looked at the Ruby Red TT in the OP.

Yes, my error, I missed the sunroof, first few photos didn't show it too well so I just assumed from those that it wasn't fitted.

That car has been there for ages. I inquired about that car even before I got mine but they did not budge. 3 turbos later its still there. Price has dropped a bit though. I cant remember why I passed on it.
