First FRS Purchase - Question !!
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hi, Im new here and I was looking at FRS's to purchase. I found this one that is a 2015 for $18.9K w/ 13k Miles, one owner no accidents.

On the front bumper where those screws appear to be, What goes there? Im sure when I get into it and learn more I'll know but because im new im not sure what that was for .

Car is at a dealership but obviously isn’t stock. Should i look for something else or ?

Not stock.

Likely he had some body kit screwed on to it. I personally would find something else.

He probably had canards and parted the car out before putting it for sale. Personally, it would be a priority for me to fill in the hole just because it would bother the crap out of me.

I would just put some TRD canards back on. I mean, you have a wing to go with them.

Very easy to install. Especially when you already have the holes

That actually sounds like a good price,but personally,I wouldn't buy it unless the dealer was willing to fix those holes. If they aren't,I would get an estimate from a body shop for the repair,and see if the dealer is willing to come down to whatever the difference of the repairs.

More than likely,the dealer is going to give you a hard time and wouldn't go for either of these option,but what the hell,you never know if you don't ask.

Giant ugly wing, plastidipped stock wheels, ebay halo fog lights, screw holes from some sort of bodykit

I like 3rdsun's suggestion the best if you go forward, but I'm in the pass camp. Someone removing parts to trade in/turn in lease would be a big no for me.

Looks like a car that was beat on and traded in. Find better.

meadowz06 08-24-2018 08:27 PM

Pass on that one. There are some really good deals out there now.

Don't forget the mirror covers. Those might be carbon fiber.

Giant wing = young nutty driver = no deal

Here is what used to be there: http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/medi.../8/6/86324.jpg

I personally don't see it as a deal breaker if he brought it in for service with records and you can tell a lot about a car from the tire wear. He also ripped a front lip off the car before sale as well. I think its a huge opportunity...negotiate to have all the holes filled from the lip, canards and wing on the back. If they won't do it, walk away.
