PRICE DROPPED: 2004 Reflex Silver R32 w/ HPA Turbo FT450 and lots of mods (52K miles, in MA)
UPDATE 4: SOLD
UPDATE 3: Sale pending
UPDATE 2: Price dropped
UPDATE: I would accept any reasonable offer (not less than what dealer would give me). I hate to waste all the work I have done to the car by trading it in.
I need a bigger car and my wife doesn’t want another car on the driveway, so it is time to move on. Please see the post #2 for some history. And please contact me if you want to see more photos.

Notes:
- The car has NEVER involved in any accident. It has never been driven by anyone else but me. The car may have been driven hard, but never been abused.
- HPA Turbo Kit was installed on Fall 2006. The kit is absolutely trouble free. Not a single problem. Since the installation, I didn’t have to work on it at all. I had my share of aftermarket force-induction experience. This kit is as close to factory as you can make.
- The engine runs really smooth and strong. It doesn’t burn any oil at all.
- The clutch is the best HD clutch I have driven. It can handle all the power and yet it is very easy to drive on the street.
- Oil change twice a year: once in spring and once in fall, with Motul or Castel 5W40 full synthetic oil.
- All scheduled maintenances are followed to the dot, if not more. (I changed transmission, differential, Haldex fluid and filter every year)
- The interior is in very good shape. There isn’t any major issue.
Know issues:
- There are plenty of scratch marks on the driver’s side. They are too deep to polish out.
- A small dent on the hood
- A small dent on the rear hatch
- The front bumper is cracked, and has chipped pretty badly.
- There are a few chipped/rust spots
- It needs alignment. The ball-joint on the driver’s side was replaced a couple months ago. It messed up the alignment a little bit. I wanted to get the alignment done at the local race shop, but I never make the appointment.
- There's a problem w/ CD player. The radio and IPOD connection still works.
