Hello and thanks for looking at this car!

Here's the story:

We are selling this car for a family friend of ours who has moved to California to be closer to his daughters and grandchildren.  

The car has been cared for quite meticulously. as you will be able to see in the Carfax report.   Larry. the owner of the car. is 68 and used the car to drive primarily between his residence in Hampton. NH and his other residence in Concord. MA.   I hesitate to say that he has driven the car “gently. but he has certainly driven it more gently than an average driver.   The dude is 68 and just likes to golf.   He's not exactly Dale Earnhardt.  

We have replaced both catalytic converters. which were by far the largest repair expense this car required.   We have also replaced the battery and all four tires.   Rather than replace the pressure sensors in the tires. we cut the cables between the sensors and the dashboard.   This car was Lexus' premium vehicle in 2003 and the only real problem with this car was these stupid sensors. which broke every six months and are very expensive to replace.   The car currently requires no work and. if you're local. you're welcome to bring it to your mechanic for verification.  

This car drives like a dream.   It's not the very fastest roadster out there. but it is a V8 and is quite fast.   It's also rather heavy and sticks to the road like a magnet.   It's really a very fun car to drive.

It also has the winter package. so this is not a car that one can't drive in the winter.   It's an option that one selects electronically from within the cockpit.   It's not a Subaru. but it is a fine winter vehicle.   It's definitely better in the snow than a bike.

If you are a person who is willing to take care of this car. it should absolutely last to at least 250k miles.   It has 95k miles now.   The only reason Larry didn't take the car to California is because he's a bit of a tree-hugger and wanted a Tesla.  

The outside of the car shows basically everything that's wrong with it.   The worst spot is the separation in the front bumper on the right.   Larry hit a pylon that fell off a truck on I-495 while he was rocking out to Phil Collins.   There are several other dings and scratches. as you can see. but nothing that one wouldn't expect on a car with 95k miles.   The interior is almost immaculate and you can easily fit two bodies in the trunk.  

I think the likely buyers for this car are middle-aged to older ladies and gentlemen who like a little sportiness in their car but who also appreciate a smooth. quiet. solid drive.   This would also be an absolutely perfect car if it were a gift to a responsible youngster because it's fast. but not stupid fast. and it's very safe.

Lastly. the coolest thing about this car is the retractable hard top.   This turtle can lose its shell.   Convertibles are awesome. but they're especially awesome if they convert into an actual car with an actual roof.   This whip is either a convertible or a luxury roadster.   It's not a noisy. flimsy. or labor-intensive soft-top.   You push a button and it's a convertible.   You push the same button and it's a luxury vehicle.  

Oh!  I should also mention that this is a one-owner car with no registered accidents.   It looks like it has two owners on the Carfax. but it only has one.   When a car is registered in a different state. like moving the registration from MA to NH. for example. Carfax registers that change as a new owner.  

You are welcome to talk to the owner directly.   You are welcome to test-drive the car.   And. as mentioned. you can take this car to any mechanic you wish for inspection.
