Please only serious inquiries. Only 75 of these vehicles were imported, probably only a few dozen or less remain. Vehicle is in good condition for it's age, obviously it's not perfect.
This has zero rust, and the paint still shines. AC is ice cold (I did perform the zip tie fix on the AC clutch). This car has ZERO engine or transmission problems, clutch is still tight, no slippage. Power is still as good as when I bought it (0-60 is low 6's last time I checked using Torque + OBDII). Does not use oil!
The driver's side axle and control arm was just replaced. Alternator was replaced a few years ago, tires are about 15 months old. Rear shocks and rear pads and rotors replaced 7/2013. Rear O2 sensor replaced July 2014. Heater Core replaced July 2014. Fuel filter and spark plugs replaced March of 2015. Just had it aligned and tires rotated. New thermostat January of this year. I've used Mobil 1 0w-40 European spec since I purchased it on 6/5/13. I'm the second owner. No major accidents, though I believe it was probably in a fender bender at some point early in it's life because the bumper paint does not look factory. And I do have a replacement front passenger side control arm, there is no current problem with the existing control arm except it's the original, and since I had the front left replaced, I thought I would replace the other side as well. It's an easy job.
Problems:
Front and rear bumpers need re-painted.
Check engine light (P0455 - not serious, has been on since I purchased it)
Front brakes will need replaced in 6 months or so
Wipers need replaced
Headlight wipers have never worked (common)
Driver's seat leather is cracked
Door inserts have de-laminated (common)
No factory radio (con for some)
Some bad touch-up paint application on hood
Sunroof sticks a little when tilting
I've had to use Lucas Oil power steering stop leak, haven't had an issue since
Please PM me if you have any questions or would like to see any additional pictures. I'm in Indianapolis, I would be willing to meet someone halfway if within 300 miles or so if you're seriously interested.
I'm asking $4000.

Your ask is about right. I have a standing offer of $3500 for my T5 with heated third seat but it isn’t in as nice cosmetic as yours, and 200k.
