Description:

We think it might be time to let go of our R56. It's not being driven much lately, and we'd like to free up the space in the garage.

It has 65,xxx miles on it (about 3,800 per year). We are the second owners, and have owned it since 2018 (50,000 miles). The first owner was meticulous about paperwork, and the car came with a thick folder of invoices and receipts. He had it serviced at shops while it was under warranty.

The car was no longer under warranty when we got it, and we did a lot of work ourselves or through a family friend (ASE mechanic).

Cosmetically, we'd say the car is in good condition. The back bumper was repainted from the previous owner due to a very minor fender bender. It could use a respray at some point, but never bothered us that much. The front bumper could benefit from a respray as well due to a minor fender bender as well. There are the usual minor dings/scratches on the car; it is 17 years old after all.

We're asking $8,000 OBO, and are not in a rush to sell. Please, no lowball offers.

Onto the goodies!

No sunroof / slicktop!
LSD
rear fogs (full bank of toggle switches)
headlight / taillight trim blacked out
beltline blacked out (DIY, could be redone a bit)
VLAND headlights (almost full halo, see pics)
VLAND union jack taillights
black hatch handle (OEM part, makes the car look like a F56)
Alta 22mm rear sway bar (this was an awesome mod)
open air filter on stock intake (passes smog and lets you hear the turbo/BPV)
LED license plate bulbs
LED interior lights
black scuttles (aero scuttles?)
LED fog light bulbs (they have a fan and are really bright)
very light tint (from first owner)
custom steering wheel with black controls
Enkei EDR9 17x7 wheels (black)
resonator delete

Maintenance:
Oil changed every 5k (last changed at 65K miles)
turbo oil feed line @ 65K miles
oil pan gasket @ 50K miles
thermostat @ 51K miles
timing chain tensioner/guide @ 35,897 miles
front brake pads @ 60,000 miles

not installed:
NM torque arm bushing (never got to it)
