2011 Grand Sport, Artic White, Manual, 3LT, 55k Miles - St. Louis MO
For sale is my 2011 Grand Sport. I'm the 3rd owner. I've had it for over 9 years now since I bought it in 2017 with 30k miles on it. It now has 54,599 and will go up ever so slightly as I drive it about 3 times a month. This was my 2nd car, so my yearly mileage was pretty low. Basically turned into my golf and softball ride. The car has been amazing to me. It turns heads often and is a blast to drive. I'm sure I've missed something in this, but feel free to ask questions or if you need any other pictures/videos don't hesitate to ask. PM here is fine or text me at 636-two3four-7287. Asking $39,000 OBO.
The good:
- Always garaged
- PFF on the front bumper, front quarters, and front half of hood
- Runs and drives great
- Pretty darn clean for a 15 year old car (a couple chips by the wheel wells, and a scrape on the mirror and PFF of the front bumper)
- Oil changed every March/April (when it warmed up enough that I didn't freeze in the garage)
The not as good:
- Has 2 accidents on the record.
- One from before I purchased the car, where it was rear ended. Only the bumper cover was replaced. Has never been an issue for me
- One when I owned it, where front bumper and headlight were ran over in a parking garage by a large truck. See photos. The guy was super cool, he owned a 2004 GTO and we always parked next to each other in the garage. He said he was pulling out of his spot in his Tundra one day and the back wheel just rolled over my front end. Everything was taken care of through his insurance. Hasn't been an issue since.
- My wife pulled into the garage a little too close to the passenger side mirror and scraped a bit. I buffed it and most of the scratches came out, but it wasn't perfect. I decided I always wanted to see what it looked like with black mirrors, so I plasti dipped them. It isn't perfect either, but from 5ft away they look pretty good. Again, hasn't bothered me since this isn't a show car by any means.
Performance mods:
- BBK CAI
- Kooks long tube headers and X-pipe
- BTR Stage 2 cam kit (see pictures from shop for specs and dyno sheet), new plugs and wires went in during this too. Been on the car since
- MGW short throw shifter
- Mild to wild switch, I installed this in the cigarette lighter spot as I felt no need for it. Very nice to throw it in Prius mode when I get into my neighborhood.
Cosmetic mods:
- Black halo (still have white one that will go with the buyer)
- Tinted windows (35%, which is the legal limit here in MO)
- Black side skirts
- Black ZR1 style spoiler
- Black badges
- Eagle eye tail lights (tinted)
- Tinted side markers
- GS wheels from C7 (19/20 staggered setup)
- GS floor mats
Misc stuff:
- Haltech valve covers, they just tidy up the place a bit!
- JBL Stealth sub with kicker amp, also has a little volume **** for the sub below steering wheel (all installed via previous owner and work great). Sidenote here, they were mounted directly behind the driver's seat when I bought it, but I needed the extra few inches of leg room to fit comfortably. They have been just chilling in the hatch area behind me for 9 years now. Never bothered me, but I'm sure you could use the mounting spots behind the seat again if you wanted to hide them.
Adding a couple photos. Had a few interested parties ask for more views. Here's more engine bay, undercarriage shots, and the switch I installed for the exhaust valves. I also included the receipt for the cam install. That was right about 4K miles ago and have loved every minute of that!
Here's a link to a couple videos as well. Cold start with valves open and then close them so you can hear the difference. Also forgot that I have a window valet installed, so there's a video of that as well:

do you have any pictures of the damage from the two accidents?
I do not have any from the first one. That was prior to when I purchased the car in 2017.
Here is one from the parking garage 'accident'. Front bumper and and side marker were replaced. Headlight and quarter panel only had rubber marks on them from the tire, so they were polished and all was well.
