This car is a great driver and runs well without any mechanical issues. I wouldn't hesitate to get in this car and take it on a road trip. Clean title in hand. No lowball offers. No test drives without cash in hand.
Areas worth noting:
Oil temp/pressure gauges are bouncy (had this diagnosed, wires on the sending units just need to be flipped).
Airbag light shows because of aftermarket steering wheel
Decklid wing light comes on and off since fixed wing was installed (stock decklid included with the sale)
Horn requires adapter to work with new steering wheel
Small nickel-sized hole in front fender where original owner had sirius radio antenna
It looks like the speedometer was replaced at some point so it is alerted on the carfax of a potential rollback. To save you some time, I did some research on this and the original owner looks to have driven the car 8-10k miles/year for almost the entirety of his ownership when it jumped to 25k miles a year for 4 years in a row, then back to normal. I found it to be highly unlikely that was the case and since it appeared the speedometer was replaced, I had the car inspected to see if it was indicative of the miles it "would have been" if this was not a clerical or odometer issue. All agreed the car showed like a ~100k mile car and not a ~200+k mile car if the discrepancies were accurate. I factored this into the price both when I purchased and now as I sell, as it is a driver.
There does appear to be a small gap between the hood and front bumper that could use some adjusting. The car does not appear to ever have been in an accident (had that inspected as well when I purchased). I had the front bumper resprayed when I did the updates (RS scoops, splitters, bumperette delete, euro turn signals) so I believe it is just an adjustment.
PPI's are welcome.

Are you accepting any part trades ? I have a couple of P cars that you may be interested in, one is an air-cooled hotrod and the other is a 996 C4S, unless your going for a different marque ?
