Price is very low, mileage as well, seems brand new...

But it doesn't sell !

Well, I wouldn't do many six-figure transactions with someone with a feedback score of 8 who writes a description such as that either.

Price is about right for a lightly optioned speed yellow car without sports chrono. No sports chrono means anyone who knows anything won't touch the car. Speed yellow is a great color but certainly shrinks the buyer pool even further. Add in the low feedback score, suspiciously low mileage, terrible economy, minor face-lift coming in 2010, the 2009's arriving as we speak, and I think the price is about right for this particular car.

"Unusual" interior color to boot.

There is either something wrong with the car or it is a scam. While I agree that the absence of SC brings the price down, it doesn't bring it down that much!
Hell, if it's the real deal I might go buy the car.

I think Sea Blue interior is a tough sell on a SY car...

I think Sea Blue on a SY car is re-sale suicide.

No sport chrono, bright yellow and average depreciation. The sea interior actually is much darker in person, more of an ink color, really nice. That is actually a good deal, but there are a lot of similar cars WITH the sc for tha same money with a few more miles.

This car's sticker couldn't be more then 126k new which is in line of a 140k car selling for 120k. Then you take the fact it's yellow with blue interior and no sport chrono. I bet it's a hard sell at that price..
