My Comments

Sold 7/14/11 - Headed to Enthusiast Auto

7/11/11 Update - The listing is going to be renewed with a new price of $25,999 down from $29,999. I think that's pretty good for a coupe like this.

7/5/11 Update - The listing is down, but I confirmed with the seller that it is still available.

To be honest, when I first came across this listing I was a bit skeptical when seeing the asking price. However, I think this may be one of the few S52 coupes out there that could command almost $30k. The rare cosmos black over kyalami orange color combination was only used in 29 coupes. It was also the color combination of the pre-production VIN LC60000, the first M Coupe ever built making it extra special. I personally really like it. This coupe with only 7500 miles appears to be in the immaculate shape you would expect. The Dinan upgrades are nice and in no way hamper the car's originality as they were dealer installed options. I think the price is fair for a very special M Coupe.
