Definitely odd to have four owners unless dealers have been involved. The driver seat bolster is obscured by the seat belt in the photo, almost deliberately. Maybe I'm wrong on that. Looks clean, although those 19 pound wheels may be light but they also made me throw up in my mouth a little.
I'd say the grille is worse than the wheels.

Bumpsy-daisy! Sorry Scottish, I'm not picking on your finds :D, I'm always interested in P80VR's, particularly 2000's! I liked the look of this one...
So I go and run a Carfax and "WHOOP! There it is"
It seems like people like to beat up on 2000's, don't know why???

Sumpin' a little fishy about this one... The wording of the ad sounds suspiciously like another similar car advertised recently. Can't put my finger on it, just something "off"...

The item wedged between the seat is my work portfolio, that is where it stays I was not hiding anything. The wheels are on the car because my wife damaged one of the originals and I did not want ipd reps. As far as the car fax I never ran one it is just my daily driver I have a el camino ss a z28 a mustang and a 450sl roadster, all low mileage garage queens. The only reason the car is kept so clean is my level of ocd. It is a nice one I have well over 7k into the car nothing fishy here just a clean high mileage car. As for the price I obviously am pretty flexible but I also don't need to give the car away, hell I have payed more money for a set of cylinder heads than the car is listed for. I don't get on here much at all obviously I'm not really an import guy I just needed a wagon to haul race parts around (blankets were put down lol). If anyone was interested just shoot me an email and I'll send my number I don't mind talking about the car. I wont sell the car to just anybody as far as craigslist goes I like the car to much to see it get destroyed. Sorry for the long rant folks.

If you were to visit this forum a bit more, then you would know that members who list their vehicles in the For Sale thread generally get left alone. It is specifically in the Non-Affiliated thread that people pick vehicles apart a bit. It's a much entertainment as it is educating people about what's out there.

In other words, don't take it personal. Thanks for introducing yourself and good luck with the sale!

I jumped the gun on that one anyway. Saw the posts on a phone and did not realize half of what I responded to were not even directed at my car haha. But I really don't get the whole carfax thing on a car anywhere near that price point. Its a Volvo with 190k miles not a 03 Cobra, the car looks as it does in those pictures and has since I bought it 2 years ago. I really hate even getting rid of it but ordering parts from Ipd and waiting for them to arrive is a PIA when it is your daily driver. I would keep it buy another daily driver and have some fun with the R but I really cant deal with owning any more seasonal cars. It really is too nice of a car to sell to someone to beat it into the ground, I would feel bad about it. At the end of the day the amount of time I spend on this car keeping it the way it is interferes with the time I spend on the other cars I have that are much more important. The reason I am really never on the forum is I am really not into these cars, when I bought my R I had a 78 Malibu BBC nitrous car I was building and needed a wagon to transport parts etc. She's been damn good to me I will say that much extremely reliable I still think the bad wrap these cars get is from being beaten on. Going from a high 9 second street car and getting in this to head home from my garage I never had any interest in beating on it. Also a little aggravated someone ran my plate to get my vin number as it was not listed in the ad, I would have gladly provided it if asked.
