FULL REPORT: Smaz and I scoped out the Saphire ACR...here's the facts...
PRO's
1. 8,621 miles
2. Interior is near mint
3. Bone Stock
4. Engine looks very clean
5. Stock K&N's look really clean
6. Runs great
7. Brakes have plenty of meat, appear stock, no yellowing of the Viper letters on the calipers
8. No curb rash on any of the ACR rims
9. Comfort Group
10. I didn't see any "paint chips" in the upper front facia or the hood, no rock chips in the headlights.
11. Tires look great, no excessive wear at all
12. Overall a really nice ACR...
CON's (and you knew there would be!)
1. Dark cars show EVERYTHING in the clear coat, and this one has swirls, no actual scratches, but swirls, everywhere. Nothing some 3M Finesse It II, a Porter Cable, and two solid days couldn't fix.
2. Hood pad had that white film on it from the car wash
3. Needs an oil change...oil was dark, but not black, no visible contamenants.
4. Door sill and side sill had the lazy driver scratches, buffable.
5. Passenger side sill and door sill has minor, minor scratches.
6. No floor mats
7. One remote FOB didn't work (Battery?) The other one did.
8. LOWER FRONT FACIA NEEDS REPAINT (No buffer's gonna help this) You guy's know where...its not beat, but definitely scratched, beyond touching up...only repaint and a chin guard will permanently fix it.
9. Car is sitting outside, and appears to have been there for a while. Locally listed for $62.9K, and they were asking $69K...
BOTTOM LINE: With minimal work and expense (less than $500), this would be a very, very nice ACR...the Saphire is a really nice color...I especially like it with the black interior...$58K - $59K would be a very good deal,
not exactly a Benko ACR Deal , but a very good deal...IMHO.
