Fi
rst the not NOT so good:

The car has a Salvage title and I bought it as such.  I have pictures of the car prior to repairs, which are when the car is showing in silver car (I had it dipped in matte white since).  I have fixed everything on the car and it drives beautifully.  The SRS light is on because the driver side Knee airbag I did not replace.  It costs about $300 to $500 and you can find it here on Ebay.  I did not replace it because I did not think its necessary or provides any additional essential safety measure.  Some codes do appear about rear lamps because some of the LED bulbs are out.  The lights still work perfectly fine, but it shows a code because if any one of the LED is out it shows up.  When I replaced the driver Airbag the replacement came in  Charcoal color, and the rest of the interior is Black.  I had it professionally sprayed but it does have some chipping as can be seen in pictures.  If it bothers you, you can have it resprayed again or replace it with a Black one.  The front bumper has two small cracks as seen in pictures.  I do not recommend replacing it as its very expensive, and cracks easily if you're not very careful.  I cracked it by parking over those small parking bricks.  It hardly shows and the dip rubbery paint covers it up beautifully. 

The Good:

The car has over $6,000 in performance upgrades per prior owner.  He said he had upgraded the crank or drive shaft to a performance one which cost around $4,000.  Also he had upgraded the suspension to make it more suitable for canyon driving through sharp turns.  All in all he said he spent over $6K in these upgrades.  The car drives beautifully and has unbelievable power.  I tried to take photos as close as possible to show how beautiful the body works.  It does not have any door dings and looks almost brand new.  The car came with 19" Black series wheels which I still have. These wheels are very hard to come by and sell for upwards of $4,000 if you can find them. The passenger side front wheel is damaged from the collision it had sustained, but can still be driven on.  I  drove it on these wheels for about 2 months before changing.  I personally do not like the way they look so I changed it to 20" XO Miami wheels. 

I have owned the car for a year now and have not had any issues with it.  Only reason I am selling the car is because I am having twins and need a bigger car.  I held on to it as long as I can, and my twins are due in July, so I am selling it now.  If you're the winner of the Auction and would like the Black Series wheels along with the car I'll sell them for $2,000 additional.


The car is located in Los Angeles, CA and I have the title on hand.  I will entertain reasonable offers and reserve the right to end auction early.  You are welcome to come test drive the car or send your mechanic/trusted party to inspect/test drive it.  Please email me with any questions and bid only if you're serious about buying.

Payments Methods accepted
- $1,000 within 24 hours of auction end
- If you write a check you will have to wait until it clears for Title and Car
- Your bank can wire my bank the money
- OR Cash in hand

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars

Tue, 20 Nov 2012

Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.

More German automakers may be afoul of US emission standards

Wed, Sep 23 2015

Volkswagen has plenty of smoke to share, and that may mean fire for other German automakers that make diesel vehicles, says Automotive News. Earlier this month, European Federation for Transport and Environment said that BMW, Daimler's Mercedes-Benz and General Motor's Opel division are among other automakers that may have equipped their vehicles' diesel engines with similar software as VW's. That software was found to reduce emissions while a car is being tested for emissions and shuts down emissions-control systems during normal use. The European environmental group used data from the International Council on Clean Transportation. Automotive News notes that the European environmental group put out its own report earlier this month, before the VW scandal broke loose, but the report was pretty much overlooked. Now, VW is under fire after it was discovered that 2.0-liter diesel engines in the VW Jetta and Golf, and Audi A3, may be programmed to game the emissions system. VW sold almost a half-million diesel vehicles in the US during the past six years. Both BMW and Mercedes-Benz told Automotive News that the issue that befell VW doesn't apply to their diesel vehicles. Earlier this week, Volkswagen admitted its car ran the sneaky software, while the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has started a probe on the company. VW is setting aside more than $7 billion to pay for the alleged violations. Meanwhile, US taxpayers may have spent as much as $51 million a year to pay for subsidies related to VW's diesel vehicle sales in 2009 alone, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Mercedes spotted testing hardcore AMG GT at the 'Ring

Thu, Mar 26 2015

Mercedes has showcased its new AMG GT in both base and S trims, it's rolled out the GT3 racing version and the Formula One safety car. But we're only beginning to see the extent of the variants that the German automaker is expected to spin off of its new sportscar. And here is the latest. Spied undergoing testing at the Nurburgring is what appears to be an even more performance-focused version of the Mercedes-AMG GT. It seems to be packing an upgraded aero kit – complete with front splitter and rear wing – as well as larger rolling stock. You can bet there's an even more potent version underhood of the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 that's already producing over 500 hp in the existing model. Whether Affalterbach deems it worthy of the Black Series label or not is another question, but what's clear is that AMG is gunning for the Porsche 911 GT3 with the performance model you see here – however disguised it may be from our prying eyes.
