Here are some pictures to show just how great the car's condition is. The car has ALWAYS been garaged and waxed on the weekends in my free time. I have pretty much made it a hobby in making this car look clean. I am the second owner and she really is my baby. It's probably become an obsession...

Anyway, I'll just let the pictures speak for themself...

Incase anyone is wondering, the ASA's are literally perfect and have literally no curbing or scratches. I have had other wheels in the past and these are by far my favorite.

I can take pictures of anything and everything if you are interested in seeing the car in detail.

As far as the price goes, I am asking $19,500 If you have any questions, you can Email me at rossrodgers@gmail.com or just PM me.

I also have the original window sticker if anyone wants to see the original options.

One thing I should point out...I took these pictures without cleaning the car out at all...the sun was going down quickly and I just pulled it out to the street and shot them with the little time I had...the car is as clean in the photos as it always is...(and usually cleaner).

I should also add:

The car also has an OEM lip spoiler (which I personally love :drool: )...I took a picture of it up close just so you can see what it looks like...

Anyway...those are all of the pictures that I have for now...if anyone else wants pictures or certain areas (subframe, bushings...stuff like that), I'd be more than happy to get some for you...

Hope those are good enough for you...shoot me a PM if you decide to pursue it. :)

:( Sad to see her go.

Any way I could get high res's of the first and the pic w/ the palm trees? I'll cherish her memory on my desktop :)

WAIT A SECOND.... Get this thing up on CFBMW and FG. I just realized who you were (pic w/ the car against the wall, facing left). You've got it shrunk on your sig on CF right?

Haha...yep...that's me! :D

I'll try and get ahold of the high-res...I lost a lot of pictures when my HD went on my old laptop but I have them on a disk somewhere...

And yes...my car is shrunk in my sig on there...:)

wow......

just out of curiosity how much would it be to ship to los angeles ca?

Hmm...I am pretty sure to ship a car from here to there it is between $800-1000...that's what a buddy of mine said when he shipped his car from CA to FL...:)

I am not trying to pressure you but I am going to look at a few S2000's in the next week so it might be gone...we'll see. :)

i'm gonna kick your ass David, this car is way cooler than S2000's.

Guys I've seen this car in person, ridden in it, driven it, etc. And I urge you NOT to buy it because I am so damn pissed at him for selling such a sexy car. David talk to me on Aim before I kill you

Im serious.

I'm going to look at a black S2000 next week...I'm pretty sure I am going to be picking that one up but I will let you know...:)

Good luck with the sale. My car was posted for sale on here not even a bite. Still thinking about selling it, planning on moving to the windy city.
Maybe you should try autotrader... I have had great luck with them in the past.

Cheers

Yeah...I was talking to my buddy Martin over the weekend and he said to try Autotrader, too...

Anyway...I'll see how things go right now...I have 3 people interested but if nothing comes of it I'll probably just trade it in...:)

My bank is asking for a higher interest rate than I would like. So I'll have to make some additional calls in the morning, see if I can find something lower.

And could you PM me the VIN so I can run a check on it ?
