Boom.

I love this place. Some cool stuff has been through here; it’s the only time I’ve ever seen a 959. Also, anyone I know who has dealt with them has never had a complaint.

That's where I bought my S600 ! Really nice people, although they did lie about fixing my SRS sensor.

Also, I find it funny that there is literally a 100 pictures of the car.

CP. And since 2001 when I got here I’ve seen just one of those in the city. It lives (lived) down in Soho and was used for deliveries.

Did they? Aww, I have friends who have bought BMWs from them with no trouble :/

Did they make good on it or was the fix easy?

I don’t think it was malicious at all. The sensor is intermittent and sporadic and its $960 to fix. And they did knock $1000 off of the asking price so it all worked out. But otherwise a really awesome experience. One of the sales personnel personally picked us up from the airport when we flew down to pick it up.

CP can be very relative:

But I had no idea they were so cheap!

I thought they had a ‘niche tax’ and cost more just because they were unique. Sadly, there’s only two on Craigslist in Chicago, one with a rebuilt title, the other about what you posted, none of them this cleaned up.

Fair enough, but be weary of what a dealer detailer can make look good where a comparable one might be 5k cheaper. That engine bay looks awfully clean for a car that has known head gasket issues around that mileage.

Huh, because it’s rare like that, I thought they cost more; like how there’s a ‘drift tax’ on S13s, I thought there was a ‘trucklet’ tax.

It’s clean, but that is a lot to pay for a 10 year old vehicle with that mileage. But what do I know?

Well, it is pushing 700HP. But yes, that is pretty high for essentially a drag toy.

Renault is selling these over here

Kinja'd!!!

The moment I saw one I thought “the guys at oppositelock would be going crazy over these”

It’s not bad at all, from what I’ve heard on the street. And it shouldn’t as it’s a modified Duster, which seems to be a really capable, bare-bones SUV

More on the Oroch.

My coworker in Chicago is going to be selling his Baja in a couple months if you’re interested. It’s an auto, but it’ll be a lot cheaper than this one.
