I drove out to the country to test drive a car for an out of town buddy. It was not in good shape: http://www.bobsautoandtrucksales.com/

It drove like crap, it had a short shifter that felt horrible and was really jerky. The guy said it had a new tranny, but the car only had 85k? It had some old and faded CF everywhere and the interior was that aftermarket leather that just doesn't feel right. I called my buddy and gave him a very quick thumbs down. His original concerns were regarding the paint and body which looked alright but I could definitely see why carfax had it listed as a dealer vehicle for a year...

 

well either the previous owner changed the gauge cluster or the car used to be an auto. that could be why it had a new tranny.

 

Sharp eye, I noticed that too, I tried asking if it was a replacement or swap but language barrier ftl and at that point I didn't really care, it was a POS

I don't think it was really an SE hence the gauge swap...

 

sounds pretty ****ty
