Wow, that's a beautiful example! I don't think the price is too out there considering the details, I mean what else can you get for that money?

One sweet S or two base cars and a roller for parts? That low of mileage and a rebuild? It had better have been some big upgrade and not a stock 2.7. Less than 10k miles in 15 years means a lot of time sitting and fuel getting old and everything else that comes with that scenario. I'm sure not every seal around the gas tank was swapped. It's still 15 years old. Is it even loaded? Seen on Miami Vice or something??

I don't think these are old enough to be "example cars" when there's tons for sale. Even if it is mint.

Agreed, plus they didn't change the motor, just maintenance stuff (IMS Bearing, water pump, clutch, flywheel, AOS, belts..etc). I bought my 03 Box S almost 2 years ago for 5 grand less. Yes my car has way more miles, but I've only had to replace the water pump in the last 2 years. When washed, waxed and the interior spruced up it looks better (to me) then that base car.

Why would you do a clutch and flywheel with only 10,000 miles? I did the IMS on mine at 26,000 miles and the clutch was like new. If it was at Jakes then it may have had issues. A lot of money for a questionable base. In 2 years this car will have 20,000 miles and be worth 12,000 maybe.
