Hey everyone....I'm pulling the reserve on the vehicle. I don't have time to mess with this much as I'm heading out of the country in a few weeks for an extended trip so she's gotta go....one way or another, she's going to belong to someone today. Thanks for all your interest!
@BlueDevilBillCW Performance said the purge valve after review was functioning correctly. I have not replaced these. Only other issue they said was a slight valve cover gasket leak. I did not replace these as there is no oil under the engine or any major residue. So I'm assuming it's minor.
@CLKProOoooh....OK. Thanks for the education. That sounds about right. If it was manufactured about 5 years ago, I probably bought it within a year after that so that makes sense. There's very little mileage on these as I hardly drive her.
@Benzman I'm not sure where to find the Date Code but this is what I have on the tires. They are Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS so they are their ultra high performance tires. 255/35R19. They are quiet and grip like super glue. I got them probably about 3-4 years ago but considering I drive the car only 300-600 miles per year over the past 4-5 years they have very little wear. Thus why I'm selling the car, I just don't drive her much anymore. Is this the date code? DOT RB32 R98 4719. Sorry for my ignorance. Trying to help though.
@thembmarketThank you! That's the major services. I went to different places for full synthetic oil changes and changed the tires to these Potenzas that are not from CW Performance but otherwise, the service records show every major repair through the years I've had her.
@MannyGee Did a video walkaround for you and any others wanting to see the car to make your own assessment of paint and such. https://youtu.be/0M9Xz60sZ64

@MannyGeeFrom my understanding as this was before I had the car, it was just a fender bender. Nothing major. No structual damage at all and doors close firmly, car goes fast and hard with no body shakes, it takes turns confidently and aggressively with no wiggle. The color difference is the lighting with the sunsetting and the shadows as it is hitting the car. To the eye no one (myself included) has ever seen a difference though I see the concern in the photo. I'll take a walk around video after Thanksgiving and post it so you can see for yourself and make your own assessment. :) I'll try to get pics of the undercarriage as well but take her out for a spin and push her hard and you'll see there is nothing to be concerned about.
@AntonThanks for the interest. She's been a beauty of a car. Super fast, sounds amazing and this one I feel is more aggressive looking than others I've seen I think due to the quad exhaust, low profile tires, wing on the rear and the camber is set in just ever so slightly. I get looks and comments on her all the time. The original head unit was starting to fail so I wanted one that had more modern features so this one has GPS, MP3 capability and connects to the rear camera I had installed. Everything works great and she takes corners with no trouble at all. I have 2 key fobs for the car too....1 is the modern chrome style and another is the older black plastic one which is good for a backup (needs batteries). I've loved driving her the most during the fall during leaf season in the mountains. It's absolutely stunning but to have the top down brings a whole new level of beauty and amazement. I'm emotional about letting her go but I'm sure she's going to make someone else very happy moving forward.
@p2p2p2 She is a joy to drive and glorious to hear. :)
@Skid44It's got to be the lighting of the area we photographed in as I have never noticed any discoloration and have fawned over this car since owning it. I'm staring at it right now in the garage and cannot tell any difference. I'll take it out on a day that's not dreary and raining and will take walk around video for everyone to see. Have a great Thanksgiving!
