Price drop to 10k. Need to sell by end of July. I am super motivated. I am moving out and I only have space for my other two cars. Email me at joniaconobusiness@gmail.com

 

Do you have more traditional suspension and wheels for the car?

 

Unfortunately not. Coil-overs were on it before and I had one of them go bad so I put bags on it. Bags only have 3000 miles. If you must have coils or oem suspension I am sure you could find some used on here or there is some really good options for coils right around $1000.

 

Price drop $8500 need gone ASAP

 

Spoiler alert: it's $8000 on Craigslist

Do you have more traditional wheels for the car?

How is reliability with the turbo? Did you do any track days? Who would be able to help if there's any issue with setup?

 

Spoiler Alert: I am going to be asking more if I have to go through the hassle of selling out of state...

Never had any issues with the turbo or the motor, just minor stuff. Currently it needs a new radiator fan. No track days, and the previous owner never tracked either. Just a fun Sunday driver for me. Depends where your located. The car is pretty easy to work on yourself if you know how to work on your car. If not your local performance shop should be capable of working on it.

 

Also no these are the only wheels I have, sorry I missed that question.

 

Ugh if I didnt need a backseat for my dog I'd be ALL over this. It must be hysterically fun to drive on the street.

 

Sweet looking car.

 

just sent email

bump 7500 now

 

Ugh such a deal if only I didnt have to get rid of my clean ls400 first

 

Debating on doing a part out soon if no interest is shown in the next week. Car is OBO

 

Just take a partial trade for my LS400 and I'll come pick her up from you 😉. Itll be a shame to see so much work get parted out

 

Is this Calvin's old car?
