Other info

I bought this car almost exactly four years ago with ~25,000 miles. It took about a year of searching to find a full-leather manual transmission car. There are tons of PDK cars out there, but it's hard to find a stick. It's really hard to find a color other than gray/silver. I had this one shipped from California. I used it as a daily driver on nice days and my wife and I used it for a lot of long trips up and down the east coast, so it has a lot of highway miles on it. It's a pretty killer road trip car. The top is insulated and wind noise is low in these cars compared to Miatas and S2000s.

It's in excellent condition. The edges of the clear bra are starting to show a little dirt in places, but it's not noticeable unless you're up close. There is a small ding on the passenger's side rear wheel arch that could easily be PDR'd, and I will try to get that done. Two of the wheels have chips in the clear coat from tire changes. No bends or curb rash, though. The interior has a couple of scratches on the driver's door panel leather. Other than that, it's pretty mint. The top is perfect and operates without issue.
