Audio Link i-pod Integration System - Control your ipod from the steering wheel!!! Very cool.



Overall car is in great shape and well-maintained. There are a couple cosmetic blemishes along with normal wear and tear. Both happened while parked. Somebody gouged my right fender - causing this dent:



The other is a very minor ding in the driver's side door. You may not even notice it, but it is below the mirror here:



I did get a quote from a very good body shop to fix both - estimate was around $500. They were too busy to take me at the time and I just never got around to fixing it. Driver's side is minor and I don't ever see the passenger side! LOL!

I am the original owner and have not beaten on the car at all. This car is meant to be driven hard, and while I have put it through its paces I have not driven it nearly as hard as it was designed for. 90% of the miles are highway miles. I drive approx. 70 miles a day - but almost completely on the highway. Car has also been on a couple of longer trips - lots of fun to drive! I'll miss it, but this is the longest I have ever owned any car by far. Any questions, please e-mail me.


If interested, I also have 4 17" Rims for Winter Tires. Orig. Cost $1,700. Offered at $500 OBO.

Gotta love the dark green; sometimes it looks like a gray metallic, and sometimes like black.



Not bad though!

Yes, the winter tires are going with the rims. 2 of the winter tires are in pretty good shape - but I would say two definitely need to be replaced soon.

Just a note: I really do not want to ship these, so I would rather deal with someone local. I can help getting them to your house if the distance is reasonable as I have a truck - (they're not going in the trunk of the 8!)

Excellent! Glad you made it home OK. I think you'll get more fun out of it on your open roads than I ever was able to here in NY. I do miss it a little already though. Sure hope I didn't make a mistake. At least I know it got a good home, and has a friend to play with. Enjoy!!!

Rims are still available if anyone wants them. Lucky dogs that got it live in a bit warmer climate and don't really have snow to worry about. Certainly makes me jealous - I could do without these noreasters! LOL!
