To each his own. I myself wouldn't call it tasteful. it isn't tacky but just a little too ricey (sp?) for my taste.

They have it on their web site for $24k. Too many red flags I think though. They never list the vin, which virtually every dealer does these days. Engine replaced 18k miles ago on a car with only 76k miles, but no mention if that is a new or rebuilt engine. Badging isn't right for an S. I'm thinking someone swapped the engine & trans from an S and put it in a base. I'm sure someone will eventually buy it but at the price they are asking, that is 996 territory.
