She's not the type to sell cars privately so she needed a hand. I talked with her for over an hour about the car and things in general. Everything checked out and I would have liked to have bought it. She really likes the car but is in a scenario where she has too many and is going through some lifestyle changes so something has to give. We discussed it all, but that\u2019s her personal information so I won\u2019t get into it, however her reasoning was sound. If it doesn\u2019t sell she\u2019s just going to keep it. Sounded to me like she\u2019s owned this car longer than most cars she\u2019s ever had, with no real plans to sell it. \n\nSounds like the only flaw on the car is the scraping on the front plastic spoiler. Easy to fix or replace. She's not a GT car person and her reasons for buying it, which I won't get into, were funny to me. That said I would absolutely count on it having been driven at a far lower pace than your typical GT car owner. Basically Sunday cruises in the mountains and that\u2019s it. From talking to her, I would expect it to be basically a new car mechanically and cosmetically- and I say that with the experience of having bought many, many cars sight unseen. Photos of the parts she's referencing are on the shelf in photo 90. We discussed them and that's when she remembered she forgot to photograph them. It also comes with a car cover that is specific to the GT4 but not a factory car cover. \n\nReally nice person. Very easy to talk to and up front about everything I asked. I can't see a reason to not bid on it. I have no reason to help with the sale other than I really thought she was a good person after our conversation. Mostly deals with dealerships so I figure she could use a helping hand selling privately since it\u2019s not something she\u2019s used to doing. I think whoever buys it will be really happy with it.
