I can check it out for you if the owner will bring it closer to me. He’s about 45 mins from me.

Although the “good deals on CL” goes quiet sometimes for a week or two, there’s usually a constant stream of new listings posted. I’m assuming you’ve been lurking there.

Thank you very much to everyone who replied!

I was lucky enough to get a ‘06, very decent condition, unbeatable price, no rust, and had all the options: chrono package, HK, JCW tuning kit and brakes, rear foglight, etc.

Need some cleaning and very minor repairs but it’s solid.

Will go into the garage to start the transformation to a daily/track car


Thank you all again and happy motoring!

yup, they are, but nothing that can’t be fixed, everything got ordered and it’s in the shop already for a nice overall tune up 🤘🏽
