nice carbon fiber splitter, but im not diggin the carbon fiber spoiler(always removable) . did you go on kbb and check the price? i have an 08 and my buyout is way higher then that i believe. i may be way off, but if thats the case then maybe this isnt a bad price... did you run a carfax on it? thats your best bet as well. others will chime in on what the best thing to do is. is it cpo'd?

That car looks very nicely modded. Can't tell what the wheels are though and they're probably some generic brand or the seller would have listed the brand.

BTW, when you type in CAPS on a forum, it means you're yelling. hahha

That car must have been owned by a member on this forum. Anyone know who owned this car?

The carfax is clean, and i agree not a fan of the spoiler, but i would paint it.....
also agreed on the wheels being listed, unless the dealer has no clue since it was a trade in...
im trying to bargain it to around 40, i know its high , but if i spent 35 which is what the car books at i will spend way more than 5 gs to do wheels, paint the roof, mtech kit. exaust and the spliter and stereo...
and thanks EUROFAN, didnt mean to yell.lol

The car is being sold in Chicago. Why are you asking if any Californians have seen this car?
