• 2016 Scion FR-S “Scarlett”
• 6-speed manual transmission • 14,500 well-maintained miles • 2nd owner; purchased at 6,900 miles (Southern car) • Clean Carfax (Carfax from initial purchase provided) • Two smart keys and one valet key ![]() DESCRIPTION: “Scarlett” was purchased and modified to create a highly capable, comfortable, and reliable daily driver/mountain touge / HPDE companion. Each modification was selected with this goal in mind, and carefully installed and adjusted by me or my performance mechanic. Scarlett is extremely nimble, quick, and sure-footed, instilling confidence as you blindly crest turn 11 and then sweep down turn 12 at Road Atlanta, zigzag through the Tail of the Dragon, or comfortably cruise through the streets of your neighborhood. Her full-synthetic oil is changed regularly, including immediately before and after her Jzilla track day at Road Atlanta. She abhors smoking, does not allow food or drinks other than water, and is totally allergic to animals, so her interior stays clean and fresh. Each night she sleeps in my garage, a safe four feet from her stable mate. When I’m at work, she is carefully secluded in the only parking spot that no else can park next to, under a tree, with her sun shield in place. Yes, she is picky, and always parks in the farthest, most lonesome areas of any parking lot. A FEW NOTES ABOUT SPECIFIC MODIFICATIONS: The exhaust system creates good torque and great noises, but does not drone, and will not wake up your neighbors, even with the 3” front/over pipe and 2.75” cat-back. In fact, the CSG Touring86 exhaust is the fourth system Scarlett’s worn in my quest for the right balance of performance, sound, volume, and quality, and I get compliments on its refined note on a regular basis. The MeisterR ZetaCRD coilovers are designed for fast street and occasional track use, and they perfectfully fulfill this specification. I have them set for comfortable, controlled daily driving, and when I am in the mountains or at the track, I turn the fronts up 6 clicks; the rear, 4, and the Scarlett is ready for a workout. And I know some debate the merit of the MCA traction mod, but with them installed, Scarlett does not set a foot wrong when we dance. Scarlett’s favorite shoes are her forged, JDM-market TWS RF38. http://www.neweraparts.com/Default.a...ProductID=1179 These gold beauties are not to be confused with gravity-cast TSW wheels. RF38’s are forged wheels made by renowned Japanese wheel manufacturer TWS, and each one only weighs 13.4lbs! (Current options are $715/piece new - http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/mm..._Code=TWS-T66F) They are shod with summer Michelin PSS rubber, and are stored during the winter months. Scarlett was wearing the Ark Design wheels with all-season Michelin PSAS when we met. I could type ad nauseam about each modification, but I think you get the gist: Each modification was chosen to carefully integrate together to elevate a great platform to an even higher level whilst maintaining the joy of daily driving. REASON FOR SALE: I am “middle class”, middle-aged, and now in the middle of a family financial sandwich. In an effort to properly support my children’s education and my live-in in-laws, I have rearranged our personal fleet this year, and Scarlett’s less expensive replacement already resides outside the garage. In fact, Scarlett will only come out of the garage for serious test drives, and a weekly drive through the neighborhood to keep everything working properly. So it is time to bid adieu to Scarlett and all her wonderful attributes with the hope that her next suitor will soon come courting.

These are in order of my preference, and I will not part out Scarlett until I am ready to do so. If the right buyer does not surface and it comes to parting out, I will update the ad and create separate listings for the individual parts. All performance parts prices listed above and below already INCLUDE the 50% mark-off from retail. 2016 Scion FR-S Market Value 14,500 miles ($18,816-$20,951) = ~$19,500 Total USED value of performance modifications = $8,691 (assuming 50% off retail) Total value of Scarlett + modifications = $28,191 OPTION #1 – Buy Scarlett as she sits with all modifications, including both sets of wheels/tires, the uninstalled performance parts, and the OEM parts for $25,000. That’s a savings of $3,191 off the USED parts price, not including installation! OPTION #2 – Buy Scarlett as she sits with all modifications, with only the TWS wheels, the uninstalled performance parts, and the OEM parts for $24,000. That’s a savings of $3,041 off the USED parts price, not including installation! OPTION #3 – Buy Scarlett as she sits, with only the Ark Design wheels, the uninstalled performance parts, and the OEM parts for $23,000. That’s a savings of $2,959 off the USED parts price, not including installation! Finally, there are several items listed as “uninstalled” in their respective notes. The used price for each of these items may be deducted from the above totals to arrive at a final price. PAYMENT: The title is held by my lender, so I will provide a bill of sale for both parties, the car, and agreed-to parts. I will overnight the title to the buyer the day after I receive it from my lender. I will accept cash or a cashier’s check made out to me. We can meet at the local police office or bank to complete the transaction if the buyer so chooses. I am also willing to work with the buyer’s preferred shipping company. I have sold and purchased several cars in this manner and never had a problem as the buyer or seller. LOCATION: I live in Senoia, GA, adjacent to Peachtree City (where I work), which is southwest of Atlanta, GA. I am about 20 minutes from I-85, Newnan and Fayetteville. IN CLOSING: I understand that used part prices are typically 50% of the new part price (as noted in my list). I understand that I can make more in total from parting the car out. I also understand the value that the right buyer will find in a thoughtfully modified, well-assembled, ready-for-the-road vehicle. If you are waiting for the part out, please do so patiently and kindly. If you think you might be the right buyer, let’s talk – I’ll be happy to answer numerous questions for those who are serious. Please PM me and I'll reply with my email and, when appropriate, phone number. Thank you for looking, and best regards, Chris Last edited by cbryant514; 08-26-2018 at 05:29 PM.
