Some confusion in the '17 listing about the chassis number and year.
Not a big fan of the color change. The knockoffs and wire wheels are a first for me. I had thirteen (13) British cars earlier in my childhood. I'm over knockoffs.

If C30s were 1980s cars’ weight, they would be irresistible to me. They’d be nimble, fuel efficient, and most of all, very very quick. I’ve never hated the look, and of course the 5-cylinder I’m very comfortable with owning/maintaining.

Weight and other specs: https://www.ultimatespecs.com/car-specs ... 30-T5.html

So at 3100+ pounds… I like em but don’t love em. Yes, this complaint of mine about weight is one I whine about almost every week, about every make and model! I’m a weight whiner.

Equipment includes 15″ Virgo wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, a roof rack, air conditioning, power windows, and a Sony cassette stereo linked to Polk audio speakers. The car was registered in Montana and Illinois before it was acquired by the seller in the summer of 2022. This 245 shows 124k miles and is offered with service records, an owner’s manual, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Michigan title in the seller’s name.

Very classy car and very upscale photography. But is that an aftermarket radio antenna on the fender between C and D pillars?

Flippers are just wrong.

Yup, seems to be in the firm grip of a dealer. Also,

Montana and Illinois are not known for salt free roads. It may have hidden rust.
The second photo does not present near the class of the first photo.
