SOLD
Whats up Vortex. I have a 2004 Red R32 for sale. What's unique about this car is that I fully rebuilt the engine to OEM specs, after cylinder 2 bent a rod. I bought the car like this while I was attending college.
The car will have a salvage certificate along with all legal documents. Only because the engine was damaged. I will be more than happy to give anyone the VIN to look up the car fax.
I am asking $13,500 obo. I think this a very reasonable price for the car, considering the work and money put back into the engine, rather scrapping a valued car. I have all the receipts including anything in addition I had to buy at autozone to perform the work.This sale is for someone who doesn't care it is a rebuilt vehicle. The body is clean, only minor roof clear coat peel, and a small hole in the left rear tail light area.
Since the car was finished, the car has not been driven on the streets, just up and down my driveway. The car is currently garage kept. I park out front in my driveway on the weekends only until night fall. Then its back into the garage. The car ALWAYS had an all weather car cover through out the winter, rain, and hot summer days to protect the paint. The garage was obviously being used to build the engine.
Mileage: 112,000
