Thanks for sticking up for me By training I'm pretty risk averse. It *is* interesting that I've been researching for an entire year prior to actively seeking to purchase. Maybe too much training...


Re: posting, I figure there is a switch that has to be flipped by an admin, or there is an automated cleanup routine. I'll give it a few days and see if I'm still not allowed.


Regardless, you are right, I doubt I'd convince anyone to sell. I use AutoTempest and the USAA car finder and there are a few out there. I know I'll have to travel.


I was hoping maybe someone who wanted to sell but didn't feel like returning the car to stock yet would read the WTB. I am open to mods that are properly done; no point in reinventing the wheel if you don't have to.


Anyway, thanks folks - I've got a couple on the east coast I'm going to get checked out in the next week and see if they are in decent shape.

I have a 6MT sedan with 52K, all the stock parts and extended warranty through June-2020 or 85K and I'm not far from Charleston. What's your budget

Found my unicorn.






2013 black on black with 43k miles. Since it was in Florida it has pitch black tint. Black aftermarket 20" wheels and black powdercoated brakes. Came with the OEM wheels in the trunk/rear seat. A few dings, some fingerprints on the headliner here and there but generally good condition.

While I like the black spoke wheels, 20"s are not optimal around here so I will be looking to get rid of those. Not sure if I'll go back to the oem wheels or find something else in 18 rather than 20.

Found it at a dealer in Orlando so Amtrak'd it down there and drove it home. Too many police checkpoints last night, IMHO but it was fun.

Welcome and congratulations!

There aren't many 18s that will clear the Akebonos, you might have to go 19".
