Yah, it's priced that way because you actually have to be SEEN DRIVING IT. Haha.

The interior is Louis Vuitton lmao, as if the paint wasn't bad enough.

Not gonna lie, I'd buy that in a second. Assuming that his Mazdaspeed(?) parts and sideskirts are all fitted properly, that's like already $2500 in itself. He's got an aftermarket exhaust and some pretty nice subs to boot and that probably bumps it up to near $4k. Unfortunately, I'd have to pay roughly that much to have the entire car painted back to BB.

Still a damn good buy for what you're getting, though. I can honestly see this car looking pretty nice if it were repainted and some nicer wheels were thrown on.

Why does the car look that way and cost so little with it's tech specs?

I know!

Dealer bought in a police auction. It was seized from a drug kingpin's 17 year old daughter.

That is not a MS kit. The rear and sides are Mint Blue (no idea replica version) and the front I believe is by Carbon Creations.

So, who wants to buy my 06 phantom blue with about 29k miles so I can go buy this hot rod?
In all seriousness though, If I didn't already have my 8, and I was in the market for one and it was within commuting distance, I'd buy it if the carfax was clean.

I just threw up a little.

As Dolly Parton would say - it takes a lot of money to look this cheap.

I am currently in the market for an 8, and only about 80 miles from this. I am just way too repulsed by the appearance. Maybe I will test drive it though haha.

It's a 2004 model, it's out of warranty.
I could deal with the exterior. That interior sucks.

Dag Therapy, that's a good deal, unless they messed it up somehow without you finding out. Most of the cars I am looking at have been posted on craigslist and autotrader.

yea. found mine on craigslist as well. It wasnt fucked up. dude was just really in desperate need of money ... lol .. dumbass took so many extra courses and loans and wanted to live like an overnight baller. too bad that bit him the ***. interior was hella dirty though. all mold in the center console ... needed new paintjob .. he doesnt have a garage and u could tell from the faded and scuffed paint he's pretty poor in maintaining ... funny though that all the service work was done on time by the dealer .. had paperwork for it .... so I got the car painted when i moved to florida at real deal bodyshop .. top notch work these guys !!
