Damn looks reeeal good! Wish it was closer! Hope someone here picks it up if its the real deal...

Quote: Im beginning to think this is a Katrina car. Look at the carpet, its not original. There are so many parts on there that look brand new. The black plastic piece on the seat belt pillar that the door closes into? It looks brand new. Garage kept and cali ok but what did he never drive it? the steering wheel looks almost new too. I don't know guys. If it sounds too good to be true it usually is

He should've posted a pic of the spare tire compartment.

Wow that car is is perfect condition. Exterior, interior... FLAWLESS.

Seeing a bone stock 4th gen reminds me of when I first got my 97. Oh the warm and fuzzy feeling, good times good times.

EDIT: Yep I still feel like I am going to cry, not the "I am sad" kind of crying. But the "I just saw a girl naked for the first time in my life and I am so happy," kind of crying.

That is a very rare sight. The interior looks funky because it's never been sat in. That is a brand new 17 year old car. If only I had the money. I wouldn't think twice.

Yup. I recently picked up a California 98 I30 5-speed. NONE of the extra emissions-swirls valves-broo haha of my friend's 99 I30 Cali spec.

So that's how brand new tan interior looked. Refreshed my mind a little lol. Whoever buys it will be incredibly lucky. Well worth it IMO. It's practically a brand new car.

What else do you expect from a Cali car with 10k? I expect cars with 10k to look like this.

I have a 95 cali and a 95 fed spec maxima. The only components you could compare is the EGR system. Fed had the canister under the hood while the cali was at the rear wheel. The one under the hood has much fewer EGR solenoids since its literally under the brake booster.

Its entirely to easy to change the numbers on our odometer. The average person who "drives it around the block" doesn't know where every single VIN sticker is much less what a VIN number even is. I would have to see it to believe it. A few pictures and a description aren't going to convince me its a brand new 17 yr old car with 10k lol

I live in SoCal, my 97 is Fed-Spec.

I would not buy this car unless fully checked it out in person, and by a reputable mechanic. Pictures can be very, very deceiving. There are a couple of things in the ad that don't add up if you read carefully.

If it's too good to be true, it probably is.

Back to the top. It's about to go.

How much do you guys think it's worth?

I got my '95 SE with almost all the same options (except 6-disc changer) in '99 when the car had 56 K but I would love to drive this car around to see how it runs. I paid $14,200 for my car in '99.

I don't think I'd pay more than $6,000 for this car though. I don't know enough about what parts would wear out to think it would be worth much more than that. Then again, in the SE PA climate I'm in, much more wear and tear is due to the elements, so maybe this car is worth a couple thousand more.

It's about as pristine as a 4th gen gets! Pics had me gasping, even the lug nuts looked untouched, simply wow. If it drives as good as it looks, that right there is a practically brand new max that time traveled 15 years for the luck SOB buyer. Hope he joins the org.

There is something very shady about the images. I am a graphic artist so I notice details usually missed by a lot of people.

One image of the passenger side rear door has a sticker on it the reads : 4DSC backwards as like a vinyl cling. This sticker doesn't show up any other time on any of the shots. But the nature of this sticker means that the previous owner probably WAS an Org member.

Think about it, what old man is going to put "4 door sports car" stickers on his sunday driver? or the Yoshimura sticker on his UIM? This is a rebuild or something. Full restoration. Like wizard said above. Read carefully and you only leave that posting with Questions.

Best of luck to the winning bid though.

Thats what Ive been saying lol. Im not saying it is not real(even though most likely it is a rebuild) but there a certain aspects of the ad that simply do not add up.

Ggenius, to roll back our odo you simply take it apart. Its cheap plastic and very easy to put back together without notice.

Just be careful if you are bidding guys
