    1G VR4 with 2500 miles for sale

    For $13k it looks like a good deal. Car is located in FL so salt might be an issue, but it appears garage kept.

    Don't see many 3Ss with so few miles these days.

    Very nice!

    Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.

    Rear Active Aero stuck in the 'on' position isn't a good sign. Also notice the paint on the center caps is almost completely gone and the plastic has faded to white. Smells fishy to me.

    Ha, nice catch, Rob.

    So... What? They drove it once a year and smashed the hell out of the front active aero on curbs?

    Really?! I'm not saying not to, but I'd want to get a set of experienced 3S eyes on it. Congrats if you do (and it's mint like you'd hope).

    Feel free to buy it but it seems suspect to me without seeing any further pictures. I've seen VR-4s with 100K miles on them look better than this one.

    Didn't notice the center caps. The black trim piece on the front is in good condition as are the fog lights. If it were a higher-mileage car I would expect these portions to be in much worse condition.

    And everyone knows the AA stopped working on these cars as soon as you drove them off the lot.

    One more thing I notice - "VR-4" appears to be written on the doors. Looks like some sort of transparent decal.

    Would be interested in a Carfax for this vehicle.

    See, I thought the same thing at first. I thought surely it was either a mistype or a rebuilt engine. Then I saw the writing on the windshield. Certainly a dealership wouldn't lie about something like this, right?

    Right?!?!?!
