You have a fairly unique car - most aero cars are usually pretty heavy optioned, so you might want to take some time and decode your option list (sticker under the front hood) and see what you have.
If it was me, I'd get it caught up on basic maintenance - fluids, belt and the like, check it for maintenance codes and get them taken care of, then detail it and sell the car on it's first impression looks and option list.
If you plan to sell it and you get deep into maintenance trying to make it perfect you'll quickly run out of profit margin.
If you decide to keep it, make it as perfect as you can and enjoy the ride.  |
My friend that races a 99 S is the one that told me those parts are worth big $, so I wanted to understand. Now with your valuable input I am 99% sure I will not change out these parts as the cost of replacements vs lost value isn't there.
Fortunately I have good records on the car with what has been done. I already am working up my list of things to do based on the history. Oh I probably forgot, I wont get the car home for 3ish weeks, so its a waiting game right now.
I have been trying to find a free vin check, so far the Atlanta one isnt up that I can find. Has anyone found another source? I am interested to understand if these are options the owner put on or if they came with the car.
Thanks again for the valuable knowledge.
