Located in Chester, VA. I am asking $3500 for the car. PM me, email supertzar AT supertzar.net, or text/call area code 804 six-two-one 5002 if interested.

Details:

Overall Condition is good. There are no major issues aside from typical wear issues related to paint, etc. For its age, the interior is in excellent condition. Car runs like it was new.

Known minor issues:
- Sunshade fabric has become delaminated
- Center small A/C vent has a broke tab.
- There is some noise in the front steering/suspension, but it hasn't impacted ride quality. My shop says everything is tight and didn't seem concerned with it. It's been noisy the whole time I've had the car.
- Sometimes it's difficult to shift into reverse. It seems worse while parked on hills. It's as if the shifter won't fully slot into position. Moving the car some seems to get it to where it will shift. When actually going into reverse position, there isn't any sort of grinding in the transmission.
- The roll restrictors are sagging a little and probably should be replaced.

Car is not heavily modded. The only mods installed have been:
- After market Euro sport struts and springs from BAT! that drop the suspension about 1".
- B&M short-throw shifter
- Redline tuning hood struts
- Stereo - car has been wired to the trunk for after market stereo installation. I'll be keeping the head unit in it, and speakers will stay. Amp is negotiable if you want to buy it. Front speakers are Polk MM571 and rear are Polk DB571. I can also put the stereo back to the factory config if preferred that way.

I also have a set of E1 wheels that I never got around to installing. Will let those go with the car for an extra $100.

Oil changes since 63k mi when I bought it have been Mobil 1 full synthetic. I have full maintenance records from when I've owned it and from the previous owners. Recent maintenance items:

New CV axles
New IMRC assembly, linkage, and intake bushings
Fuel induction maintenance
New plugs and plug wires
New front tires - Continental ExtremeContact DWS

That noise coming from the front scares me a little bit, what did the shop say the noise was?
