Email him and put him in his place.

#1 - I doubt it's limited to 140mph... it's bascially the same car as the '01, the specs should remain the same.

#2 - tell him he nuts about that price. The only thing I'm thinking is that the car costs $30k and the mods he did cost $7k (which is where he's getting $37k). Honestly, if he paid $7k for the mods he listed, he paid about $5k too much, plus, he has 28k miles on it!! Hopefully no one will be stupid enough to buy it....

Wow he has #584. Everybody knows that when you sell a car you almost never get what you paid for, no matter what you did to the car.

EVEN if the NEW car was limited to 140 MPH (ask him where he got the info -- I sure can't find this juicy morsel), do you really care -- is this a "deal breaker?”

What an idiot!?! He probably paid sticker...and than all the tax....no navi..
And he customized it...that always bring down the value of the car..not to mention it is PDG...not the mos sought after color...I'd pay 23K for it...since the tranny is probably gonna go out on it oo..

I think what he means is that with all the mods, it would cost $33,000 (not Canadian because the sellers from Sacramento, California). But he's selling it for $26,000, hence the $7,000 in savings. I believe that's what's going on here.

He's from CA...you'll find a lot of people on Ebay charge high prices and try to catch the people that don't know...if someone bids on it thought definatley email them and tell them not to bid.

It looks like he has the extended warranty. How much does the dealer charge for that?

Well, that seals it. I'm not getting the '02.

How dare they lower my gov'ner 7 mph?!? I routinely cruise between 141 and 147 while commuting. I'd better stick with my '01.
