Trading up to a 350R - Anything I should watch for?

[wingnutt]

ok then, I now have three good reason you oughta do it...

1)

So $17,000 USD to upgrade to the same year with same-ish kms - just an R. In a sweet colour

2)

I managed to get in touch with the previous owner through the dealer at which it was serviced.

and 3)

The owners kit is in mint condition still inside the box. I have the window sticker and car cover as well.

well then!

...now you have forced my hand, and I must quote section 4 of the bylaws, part A, subsection 2.1 and it goes thusly;

”thou shalt post pics of either; the intended, actual or imagined purchase within 15 minutes of another members demand or the demander may curse the demadee’s bedsheets with the fleas of 1,000 camels”

...consider this the official demand

LOL. Well.. Here are some photos of the car at the dealer taken on a cellphone, but firstly here's a photo I took of my GT350 and plan on taking similar professional ones of the 350R.

Check for the spacers in the springs in the front and on top of the damper in the rear. You should be able to see them as the car sits. Looks just a hair high and we've seen this happen a lot.

Oh yeah? Would you notice additional firmness while driving? Previous (and original) owner has put 14k miles on it and didn't seem to have any issues

 

[stanglife]

Yes, most people who realized they were still in hated the ride and some even traded the car in, not knowing what was going on. Hard to imagine someone enduring that for 14k miles but stranger things happen...and it does look a little high.

Congrats

Well, slight change of plans but I ended up buying a gorgeous black 2019 tech pack R with the carbon interior. Chassis KR666

 

[wingnutt]

lol…well that was fun!

now you need a bad@$$ license plate to go with that “ahem” interesting chassis number

 

[Hattrick]

Hi mileage when theres so many low mileage Rs around. Sell yours and find one and have it shipped to u. You are right about Ruby Red it does attract alot of attention esp at dusk . As for performance i doubt much diff on the racetrack other than the lighter wheels and Sportcups which u can duplicate on a base car anyway

 

[Hattrick]

Black Beauty best of luck!!!
