What are you going to do with the car? Track it, drive it to the movies with your girlfriend or something else?

Im gonna drive it to work and might do some coil overs and put tints but mainly keep the car stock. I had a Evo IX before that I dumped a lot of money in and ended up with nothing when I sold it.

the thing is I always wanted a white car with low mileage.

Then you'll be fine with this one. If you were going to drive at the track (road course) I'd say something else but for what you plan to do this one will be perfect.

Since its a CPO I think it's a pretty good deal...I have a CPO and every little thing that comes up....I take it to the dealer...lol. I don't think they like it...but ****....its what you get with the CPO. It just sucks because u have to fly just to see how it drives and listen to the engine for any problems...either way it'll be covered under ur CPO warranty. GL tho....nice lookin ride IMO.

Killer deal!! If the car drives well and there no issues with the interior or exterior you actually are getting a great deal.

So I finally bought one a little disappointed. The car overall is in fair condition some rock chips hears and there. I checked the Vins on the car it was missing the vin number on the front bumper and the driver side fender. The carfax showed the car was in a minor accident no big deal. Have a problems with the rims I cleaned them and seems like they are fading and have a pitty white stuff on them. I will probably have the refinished. Found the cigarette burns on the rear carpet, still trying to figure out how to fix that. I replaced the wiper blades with the OEM ones some idiot named Matthew I Wilson who owned the car before me had Rain X on the car. The good news car is paid off need a little fixing to get it to my standards. I just don't get it how some people ruin such nice cars.

Regarding the issue you mentioned on the rims, does it look like the photos that Lobuxracer posted in the following thread?

If so, then the IronX paste is a fairly simple solution. Kudos to Lobux for finding something that actually works on the brake dust!

And uh... what's wrong with using aftermarket wiper blades instead of OEM?

Why you gotta poke at me even when I haven't posted anything in this thread?

BTW...might as well not put in my 2 cents because lobuxracer has pretty much covered everything.

I'm wondering how the car is a CPO with an accident on it's history? My car also shows a previous minor accident on the carfax and when I was talking to a dealership about trading it in, they couldn't offer me anywhere close to the value because of the accident... Maybe this is just their scheme of making money.

Anyways, I just ordered the IronX paste for my wheels, so we will see how it works.
