Looks like a very nice choice....in quick visual assessments I always check the seat and drivers carpet wear and the condition of the wheels on the right side (ie: curbing!). Tells you something about the care of the prior owner. Enjoy it!

I will be picking it up around Thursday of next week. Here at the details and pics...

Base coupe, 235xx miles, crystal red, 2LT, long tube headers, high flow cats, flowmaster exhaust, dyno tuned. I'm not really big on engine mods but I didn't think this was too extreme. Car is super clean! Now I won't be able to sleep until I pick it up LOL. I'll take better pics when I pick it up, these are just what he posted online.








Congrats on your purchase! You will love it! You got the best color!

Thanks everyone! I don't have the car in my possession yet, running into a lien holder snag. Should be cleared up by Monday.

It was hard lol, im a very impatient person! I looked at another car earlier that day at a dealer, 2013 1lt manual 15k miles, orange, they wouldn't go below 30880, I said nope.

This one is private sale. He originally wanted 32k. Giving him 5k cash and the lien payoff of around 23.3k.

Enjoy and I hope the combination of Flowmaster with the LTH doesn't drone too much for you.

Easy fix regardless.

Only put a couple hundred miles on it so far but the exhaust hasn't bothered me. The only little annoyance is I have to keep buckling and unbuckling the seat belt in order for the sensor to make.

I ordered a set of eagle eye lights, they should be here today so i'll be installing those since its kind of a dreary wet day in Austin.

We are practically neighbors, I am in San Antonio (Converse). Just pulled the trigger on a 06 C6Z, should be here around Tuesday. Looking forward to doing some cruising! Maybe our paths will cross. Congrats on the ride.
