Equipment includes a multifunction steering wheel, a central infotainment system with navigation, a Blaupunkt stereo, rear parking sensors, and automatic air conditioning. Modifications include an ECM flash using the standard chip (the seller notes that this is reversible), as well as a 2.5-inch Di Filippo cat-back exhaust, and heavy-duty Pedders coilover suspension. Accompanying the vehicle will be the owner’s manuals and a collection of invoices. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition.
