hello @rderow thank you for your adding the pics. Appreciate your transparency
Bid in the amount of $8,000
@manuals4ever In picture 55 you can see the chip as well. One other area that has a small crack is in image 33 on the passengers side molding strip the end that sticks out past the door has a crack in it.
@manuals4ever You are right it has some small scratches and one chip in the paint there. Just sent photos of it to PCARMARKET. Looks like a small tap at some point and could possibly be pulled slightly but very hard to notice in person. Sent in more images of the side as well to show it better and the scratches as well as the headlights up. Also sent in a cold start video.
@manuals4ever Let me put some picts with the front headlights up and some different angles as I think that is what is making it looked creased. I noticed that in the image there as well. Sending those images to Pcarmarket now.
Bid in the amount of $7,500
The two best options on this one are sport seats and limited slip differential.
One correction, this does not have “full leather”, but instead has the more typical partial leather seats along with leather steering wheel and shifter boot.
Hope this sees more bids as it appears to be a magnificent driver level vehicle with good maintenance and care.
Love this color combo!
The front driver side corner looks a little off. Headlight cover doesn't sit flush. Looks like a subtle crease about the side marker. Definitely looks like its been tapped in the front. Also, I notice no pictures with the lights/headlight cover flipped open.
GLWTA!
