He could've at least washed it! pretty big bird poop on that driver side tail also should've removed that hood bra piece, and replaced the wheels with the stockers

Other then the obvious flaws that were already pointed out it looks like a nice low mileage car. I wouldn't pay that much for it but someone might. Id like to have the headlight and taillight covers tho.

I don't care much for the look of them either. What kills it for me is 2+ year old pics. If the guy selling it can't even find the time to take and post current pics what's to say he found time to maintain the vehicle? I wonder what it really looks like now...

There are so many different issues with this listing:
- As noted, 2 year old pics, seriously, get some present day. Granted we don't know if he took the time to set the date on his digi-cam.
- Next, he boasts about this car being a "collector" vehicle. That being said, IMO, collector value is best on an "unmolested" car or one that the "mods" can easily be returned to factory condition. I know many of us dislike the hood scoops on it and some of the other things he's done, but whether you like it or not, this car requires work to make it "show" and "collector" quality (pending you agree, that stock does the most for it).
- He never listed if he has the COA, but he has the stock wheels (no pics to show their condition).
- Low miles or not, he's commanding well over KBB for that car. He clear feels the car is a gold mine.

IMO - Not worth the time to call this guy. But I am certain their is someone out there willing to wheel-n-deal with him. Hopefully for his sake, he can get what he wants. for it. Can ALWAYS start high and go lower, it doesn't work the other way around.

The fake hood scoops and the bra is an easy fix.
Now that we know what the car looked like in September of 2010, I'd like to see what the car looks like today.

Is that really the owner that posted that ad? Or is it a scammer who grabbed the pics off the net, and posted a fake ad. Seems to me if I wanted to sell my car, I'd take some recent pics. Not repost some pics clearly dated 2.5 years ago.
