Purchasing a Car out of State


Good luck with your Solsice purchase Vince...Sue will love it. I bought Bon a new one in 07 for her fiftieth and she loves it. ( another black unit for me to detail!.....fortunately not often as I only has 3k on it now)
See you in a few months!
 
Not trying to dissuade you Vince, but I can tell a couple of things from the pics of that car on the website. It is using 3-BAR MAP sensors where the factory used 2-BAR MAP sensors. This is a very common precursor to a performance (re-tune) upgrade. I would suspect that it is the GM Performance Division upgrade which I believe is CARB compliant. But you may want to validate what tune/modification has been used. Also, looks like the OEM air cleaner box is gone in favor of a cone-type air filter? Again, not a big deal but when smogging it in CA, you may want to get the OEM airbox. Most likely, not a very expensive item. Best case is that perhaps you can use these anomalies to negotiate price on :)

Kendall,

Thank you! The salesman did bring the air filter to my attention and accommodations are being made for what will have to be done to make it pass California smog. However, the 3-Bar Map Sensors vs the 2-Bar Map Sensors was not brought up. I will follow up with this immediately. You're awesome my friend.

Thanks Rick. She's stoked and I'm stoked for her. Looking forward to seeing and hanging out with you both!
