As much as I don't look forward to this, I no longer have the time/money/energy to keep two cars running and don't want to start neglecting this great car with tons of potential. As much as I will hate to see her go, I'd be happy to know someone will enjoy her as much as I did.
So let's start with the basics. It's an '05 R53 (manual) with only 48k on the clock. Sunroof. Heated Leather seats. Tires are only 2k miles in so they have a long life ahead of them. Has it's usual issues, crank position sensor oil leak but as usual it's very slight. I replaced the dipstick with the unbreakable Cravenspeed model. All recall work done.

Reason: Car sold
Forgot to meantion that I have the original back seats/hardware to go back in if you choose so. Also the original suspension (shocks/springs/rear sway bar) should you choose that route.
Take a clean, well lit photo so you can see condition of seats, dash switches (for options), wheels, side panels, etc.. pretend you're buying a car, what would you like to see? I can't tell if it has HK sound or not. Can't tell if seats are worn, DSC, chrono or speedo? Just a suggestion.
My apologies for lack of info/pics. Here are pics of the seats/rear seat delete.
Things I forgot to mention:
-HK sound system
-XM radio ready
-electronic climate control
-auto dimming mirror
-DSC
-New Cabin air filter
-AUX port in glovebox
-Air conditioned glovebox
-Cruise control
-3 spoke multifunction steering wheel
Seats are in good shape, and it's well optioned. This low mileage R53 should sell quickly. If this was my can I would give it a nice detailing and retake the photos. Might have better luck reinstalling the rear seats, since that's a fringe mod.
Change of heart caused me to take this off the market. But tough times get tougher and it's up for real this time. Open to offers but hoping to get $8000. Thank you!
What are the A-panels painted with? Is it removable?
Thanks,
The a-panels, hood scoop, and gas cap are done with plasti-dip, while the belt line is done with black out tape, so you would be able to go back full chrome if you desire. Thanks!
The exterior of the car in a well lit environment.
In short, I'm not local and would like to see as much of the car as possible without A) Driving/Flying to you and B) Inconveniencing you.

Hey I'm really sorry about this I know it has been a while and you're probably past this car, but here it is outside (I entered it in a car show this past weekend and here are a couple pics I have from that day) let me know if you are still interested, again my apologies on the incredibly slow reply. Have a great day!
I'm interested in purchasing your vehicle. I'll be in and out of STL for the next couple weeks on tour. Is it still available? If so, where are you/the car located?
