I have nothing but good things to say about this car: it’s been my daily driver for three years and it’s been totally reliable, very economical (~30mpg highway, no out-of-pocket maintenance costs other than the regular preventative stuff) and a ton of fun to drive. My only reason for selling is that I’ve just bought a Porsche and can’t reasonably afford to keep two cars.

This car is perfect for anyone who loves driving. The suspension setup is really nice: the car isn’t lowered much-- which is what you want for going fast on California’s less-than-perfect roads-- but the handling of the car is much improved. Body roll is almost non-existent, and the new swaybars give the car a much more neutral balance in long, sweeping corners. The current setup is quite nice: pointy in hairpins so the car will rotate, but stable on long, high-speed sweepers.

Engine is (and always has been) completely stock. Oil analyses show the engine is healthy, and it feels like it when you drive the car. You could keep this car as-is and just go drive it fast and enjoy it, or it would be a great clean-slate candidate for forced induction (the handling stuff is already done-- all you’d need would be an FI kit and maybe bigger brakes to cope with the higher speeds).

I’ve done my best to keep the car in good condition: it’s the first car I’ve owned since new and I’m very proud of it. It’s always been hand-washed and waxed (rare for the car to go more than two months without a fresh coat of wax), and the car’s been maintained more like an aircraft than a car (I work as a helicopter pilot-- we’re fairly neurotic about our machines). The exterior is in very good shape with the exception of the front bumper cover, which has come cracks in the bottom from where a pickup truck in front of me on the freeway dropped a loose item out of its bed. Wheels have never been curbed (stock wheels included) and are in good shape-- the only defects are a couple of stone chips on the paint of the OZs. The interior is extremely clean: I rarely have passengers, and the car is a no smoking / eating zone.

Car is available to see in Camarillo or Santa Barbara, depending on the day (I work in Camarillo). PPIs welcome at buyer’s expense.

Glad someone likes it-- I paid dearly for it! CA DMV charged me the difference between Colorado and CA sales tax when I registered the car here, despite the fact that I bought the car like six months previously when I was a legal resident of CO. Such horseshit. Was a $1500 registration or something IIRC.

Nice. I may consider if it's still available when I am done with my investment properties in a few weeks. GL!
