We have about $15k invested in this car over the last year (see the exhaustive list of work performed below), and I believe it is in exceptional mechanical condition. It runs and drives almost like new. I have in my possession ALL maintenance records since the car was brand new (I am not the original owner). Adult owned & driven. I don’t really know where to price the car, so lets say asking $12k and BEST OFFER TAKES IT. Located in Golden, CO. I’m willing to help arrange shipping. I would also entertain trades for something AWD or for a pickup truck.
The car has almost every option offered, except for navigation.
- 5 Speed Manual Transmission
- Ash Gold Metallic Paint (code 446)
- 3rd Row Seat, seats 7 passengers (Convenience Package)
- Cold Weather Package (heated seats & mirrors)
- Sunroof
- Dolby Pro-Logic Premium Sound System (HU-803)
- 17” Performance wheel & tire package
- Memory Seats & Mirrors (3 memory positions)
- Dynamic Stability and Traction Control (DSTC)
- Front & Rear Fog lights
- Euro roof rails
- Tinted Windows
The car is essentially stock, although it does have the following “tasteful” modifications:
- “R” Exhaust Manifold
- SNABB Performance Turbo Intake
- Silicone Vacuum Lines
- SNABB Short Throw Shift Kit
- GROM Audio Ipod/Iphone Controller, routed through center console
The other unique aspect of this car that I really like is that it has the 40/20/40 split rear seat, which means that the Volvo integrated cooler box can be used (fantastic for road trips!). Also, the center-folding seat is great for long items (e.g., skis).
I put a receiver hitch on it for the sole purpose of carrying bicycles with our rear-mount Kuat rack. The car has never been used for towing.
The car overall looks very nice, although it does have some door dings and a slight dent over the rear wheel well. I suspect that with a trip to a paintless dent repair specialist, this could be mostly removed. The car needs nothing mechanical, and should be maintenance free for quite some time.
