'13 JCW Fort Meyers FL

This is a shot in the dark, but...

There is a '13 JCW at the Ford/Lincoln dealer in Fort Meyers, Fl. I am up in NH, so obviously can't easily check it out. It has been at the dealership for a while I believe, and it seems cheap (which has me concerned). I am wondering if anyone might know the car? Again, I know this is a shot in the dark.

Shipping from Florida is cheap this time of year since the trucks are bringing people's cars down south for the winter months and are empty on the trip home and looking for jobs. I have been looking for the right JCW for some time now, but mostly 11's and 12's as I want to spend under $25k. I am a bit stressed about the N14, which is probably why I have not yet pulled the trigger. This, of course, would have the N18.

Thanks!

I do not know the car. Do you have a CarFax on it?

The car is gone! Very strange. It was there on their site an hour ago, but now is gone. I can still see it on Autotrader... They must have sold it today. Oh well. If you are reading this and know of a good '13 for sale, send it my way. Otherwise, I may roll the dice on the N14.

I test drove the car in September when I bought my R56 from them. It is nice, no vibrations or noise heard. If you haven't contacted anyone I can send my salesman's info to you. He was relaxed once he found out I was serious.

What questions do you have about the car?

I just saw they sold it, it sucks they've had it for almost 8 months from what they were telling me.

That really does suck. I figured it was a smokers car or had some accident history at that price. I wish I would have seen this earlier if it indeed was a good car. Now I am really bummed.

And I guess it wasn't as much a shot in the dark as I thought. This forum is great!

Yeah, was actually looking at that one. I was really trying to avoid the vinyl seats though. The pictures look as though there are a few stains on the seats and the tires look beat. Maybe just bad pictures...

I like the color combo though and there is a '12 with the same combo, except the recaro seats that is really tempting (again, N14 vs N18).

On second thought, the car is too close to what I want. I emailed the dealership. Anyone know this car by any chance? It is in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Change the title to the new location maybe someone from there will read the thread like I did.
