Ok, I just got conntacted by an older gentleman about an FD he has for sale. Now it's awsome and all but I have to wonder if it's bull because it sounds toooooooo good to be true.





1995 Silver Touring

Black Leather

10000 MILES (This is what worries me) ONLY 10K

ALL STOCK (Everything)

5 Speed

All documents and Papers plus the original window sticker

He is the first and only owner.

He says he has the R2 spoilers and a set of KYB's that are gonna go with the car. I've seen it and drove it (my first drive in an FD: amazing), the car is not LIKE new, IT"S BRAND NEW, Still has the smell.





Problem: I heard there were no Silver 95's in this condition and package and I find it heard to believe that he is selling it for the price he is selling it for. He says he wants 35-40K. I think that's more then worth it since this thing is BRAND SPANKING NEW (really it is). He has a huge crib in the Hills and a 512TR in the garage. I think I saw a Harley under a cover too.



I've seen the carfax and it says it has no problems what so ever but it does not report anything about odo rollback and such.





So, what do you guys think. Give me some feedback because I really wish this was the real deal.

Thats awfully high Kate. A car like that should only sell for $30 AT THE MOST!

Sounds like a real nice car though. If you can flash him $30 I bet he would take it.

That car only sold for $38 or so when it was brand new off the lot. That price tag is extremely high.

I know a guy who bought a silver 95 with 20K miles for $25K, mint condition. That old guy is trying to be an old ripoff artist.

too much money. you could buy an rx-7 for 15 and drop 15k in mods and have a badass car. screw the miles on it your gonna have to replace the motor and turbos anyway. i would pass, **** for that much money i would buy an nsx but thats just me. later scott

dont get lost in the low mileage thinking...

i myself would spend the extra dough on rarity rather than mileage...

droppin in a brand new instrument cluster will register 0 miles by the way....

You can buy a brand new Spirit R for almost that much. Although I know they are pricey in the states. If you guy has cash, check to see if it has been rolled back(my experience). Was it garage kept?
