Funny, I'm pretty sure the seller has the same exact unit since we brought his laptop on the test drive and he was showing me some data logging from the ODB2 port.
I'll see if he'll throw it in!

No bags here, if $3-$4k is going into the car, it'll be towards making louder whooshy whooshy sounds.
300whp+ > bags (IMO)

where abouts in LA are you picking it up?! and when?
The car is in Huntington Beach area at the moment, but the seller agreed to meet me half way in San Juan Capistrano so we'll see what's what.
I might be able to pick it up Wednesday, slim chance. Just depends on scheduling cause it's pretty hard getting a ride up there during that time of the day.
I suppose I could always take the train

Congrats, man!

Thanks J!
If it makes you feel any better you were the very first AZ member to find out! Nothing like joining that 2 car game!
It is a new adventure everyday with the new car, you never know what you gonna get
Remember i am only a phone call away to pick u up
It made it just fine to San Diego, thank you very much
There is a lot of truth to what you say, but it's going to help so much having my S as a backup.
If there's unforeseen issues pop up (which there most definitely will), I can take my time and nurse it back to health at my leisure. I would never daily this thing, ever.

might as well start with the common known issues, if you know something is gonna break, might as well just replace it before it breaks on you.
not sure what are the common known issues with that car but i am sure there are.

I'm all about the preemptive maintenance. Most of which has been done, but the bigger ticket items have not but they do not have any issue(s). The biggest thing (by a mile) is when the turbos need to be replaced .. which calls for a full engine pull. When the engines out, it's the "Welp, might as well replace everything while it's out" situation which can be big $$.
I couldn't give you an estimate on how much longer they have, but they boost nicely and make no alarming sounds.
As far as common issues, I'd say:
Oil Leaks
Boost Leaks
Boost Leaks
Boost Leaks
Control Arms
Misfires (lots of sensors)

I'm sure they could use replacing, but the car feels pretty planted as is during gear shifts. A little bucking, but nothing compared to what the broken motor mounts were like in my old 6MT Accord which made stop and go traffic unbearable.
