I just bought this car in February from another forum member – flew out to IL and drove it back to SE PA 12 hours. The car is phenomenal; I have gotten more compliments on this car than all of my previous - and I have owned a lot of cars. I am only selling it because I am buying a Corvette – the fulfillment of a life long dream.
I get great gas mileage, and the car looks amazing. I have detailed it (Wax and Teflon paint sealant) 3 times already, and conditioned the leather 3 times….I am very OCD about my cars. The interior on the car is perfect...don't you hate it when people don't take car of their leather? Not here. The car is on excellent condition and the only imperfections are in the paint and are only visible when you get right up to it (typical front end highway stuff).
I have had zero problems with the car, it runs smooth and I don't beat it (how could I get nearly 29 MPG on average if I did?). I thought I was having a problem with the AC and it needed to be recharged but I was running it with the ECON on (economy) and was not running the compressor. What can I say, it was my first summer in the car and I had never take the climate control off of "auto". But the AC is blastin' cold and everything is perfect on the car...come and drive it and see for your self!
I just put new wheels and tires on the car about 2k miles ago! The oil is Mobil 1 Synthetic and was changed at 36k by the previous owner, at 40K by me, and will be done me again before you take delivery. There are no surprises here. If you are looking to drive a world class AWD turbo German machine for the price of a Honda civic then look no further.
Here are some details…
· FULLY LOADED
· Black
· Black Leather
· 44,792 miles -this is my daily driver so it will go up until someone picks it up
· 28.9 average fuel economy since the day I picked it up (I reset it when I bought it and have not reset it since)
· 225 Horsepower (KO4 Turbo)
· 6spd Manual
· All wheel drive
· Factory 6 disk changer
· Heated Seats
· ESP
· Zenon Headlamps
· BRAND NEW WHEELS Stern ST-1 Black / Polished Lip
· BRAND NEW Kumho Ecsta SPT 225/45/18
· Wheels and tires have about 2000 miles on them
· 30% tint all around done about 4000 miles ago - it's perfect and was done by a pro shop in West Chester Pa.
The Car is stock except for a MODSHACK intake, Forge Turbo Inlet Pipe, and Aftermarket Boost Gauge (mounted on the dash), which were installed by the previous owner. The previous owner did not chip the car and neither have I. The intake is louder than stock and sounds cool when you accelerate, but also sounds like you are blowing over an empty coke bottle at some points of low acceleration (right when the vacuum stops and the boost starts). It was annoying at first but I got used to it. I also have the stock airbox, which the previous owner gave me but I never put it on. It will be included with the sale. I also have a Forge DV, which was not installed that the previous owner gave me. I was not looking to MOD the car so I left it alone.
The car is in Honey Brook Pa, Chester county – an hour from Philadelphia
Call me, email me, PM me, IM me, you name it. I carry a blackberry and work from home so I am very accessible.
I will put this puppy on ebay soon and have sold 5 or 6 cars there in the past but I would prefer to support the forum community - that's how I bought it in the first place.
Oh, and if you are looking for a killer finance deal - http://www.penfed.org - I joined the credit union and financed this car (yes a 2001) at 4.9% for 5 years. NOW they are down to 4.5% - so step up, get a loan and lets roll...
Cheers,
Josh
