Man! People do such a thing? A good paint job runs into 6000-8000$, isn't it just better to reduce the price?

Repaint also noted on the CR Roll Call.

This dealership is absolute garbage. I am really glad I did not do business with them. Be aware when dealing with Brilliance Auto!

So other than the paint, what is off about this car? Coming from someone that knows little to nothing about CRs personally, but has always found them fascinating.

For starters -

- Painted hardtop (color match)
- Painted hardtop trim (the black around the windows)
- Missing emblems
- Missing antenna
- Painted rear wing mounts
- Missing CR shift knob
- Missing spare tire kit (the goop + pump)
- Missing OEM exhaust (single exit, not OEM)

Upon inspection of the s2000 i noticed the paint color was good BUT the work was not up to par. Looking the car over i noticed several things that just weren't right.

-Over spray in the trunk liner
-Lip had a small gap and in some areas filled with paint with over spray on top of black lower corners
-Battery was dead
-Radio did not function
-Strange smell at one point as if something electrical was burning but could not verify it was exhaust wrap
-Headlights need to be replaced, both were in bad shape & the right side had a quater sized crack from within
-shift knob was loose and sat upside down
-headlights did not sit flush with bumper
-Needs gas
-The "s2000 cr" badges were taped and just tossed in the car

The excitement was all drained away within seconds of overlooking the car. The cast of characters are a strange bunch at least. You could walk in and get mugged. If i think of anything else ill try to update you guys but definitely a car in need of help.

Thanks for the update, j0mi92! They're had the car listed for sale since last year. They went through a phase of buying 3 CR's within a short period of time. I contacted them about a genuine ABP they had at one point. Were you able to take any pictures while you were there?

I thought the feet of the CR wing are supposed to be black on all colors. They now painted ABP on them. Look ghetto

Correct, the base as well as the riser should both be black.

This car's life needs a Sarah McLachlan soundtrack.

At least the badly painted hardtop is still intact?
