CS Market

It's been lowered

 

I know...3.5k miles in 8 years. The thing was designed to be an amazing drivers car and....instead it spend 99% of its short life parked in a garage like some sort of mechanical painting. I have to say this "don't drive the thing" stuff is starting to irritate me...what a waste.

 

Agreed!
3500 miles in 8 years is just crazy and can't be good for any car.

 

That should live to see another day. When I raced, 360 Challenges would come into the pits looking like that hourly and be back on the track in a matter of a couple hours..with a little duct tape of course.

 

NO-NO! / The dealer says its not been lowered! Ha!

I see in the description that the car wont start. I wonder if that is just because no one there is familiar with the start procedure? That would be comical too.

 

Could very well be. Also, it says "secondary damage: all over". I'm wondering what the underside of the car looks like. Could be more damage than meets the eye.

 

He probably read a few posts like this on FCHAT, and figured he better get out and drive it, but obviously pushed it to hard, or ran into an unfortunate situtation he couldn't avoid.

Almost as sad as the guy who bought the last yellow one this summer, and wrecked it the next week.

 

That can't be a write off. The auction says 'Newburgh'. Is it in NY?

 

Looks like theres more damage than that. What a shame.

 

Yes...specifically, it's in Rock Tavern, NY...about 65 miles north of Manhattan. There are a number of factors that go into the decision as to whether a car should be "totalled". The amount of physical damage is just one, and, as others have pointed out, there could be significant damage that's not apparent in the pictures. Other considerations include the availability of parts, the amount of time required to repair the vehicle (sometimes it can take months to even schedule a high end vehicle at an appropriate repair facility), and the owner's desires (and attitude).

 

I thought so! I used to live in Alpine, NJ, which was not far from Newburgh.

From the pics, the fire extinguisher got lifted... but the brackets were there. I call dibs!!!

 

Got to meet Stockpro tonight at the FF premier event at FOS. Great guy, they put on a great party. Will post pictures tomorrow.

 

Stockpro - PM sent

 

That's haut

 

stripe or no stripe?

 

Not me, I am patiently waiting to hi-jack the yellow one if it ever comes east.

 

Thanks stokpro for your help! I ended up putting a deposit on a 430 today.

Stokpro was always so nice to talk to and definitely has his finger on the pulse of the CS market - Truly a car guy. Thanks!!

 

Pretty nice CS!

 

That is indeed a great color on a CS. Not too many made. Here's one with stripe.
