98ITR for $14,000? Damn.

Sounds too good to be true, owner says its never been in an accident, but the front grill seems to be painted wrong.

The front is definitely pained wrong, I saw one similair to this on h-t a while ago and asked about it, the guy said he did it for cosmetics because he thought it looked better. Sounded kind of suspect to me.

reason why its cheap.

"In Spring of 2001 the vehicle has been involved in a minor theft recovery" & "due to the insurance involvement, vehicle now carries a "Branded" title in the state of CA"

Front bumper is definitely painted wrong. Someone should go look at in in person. But it does sound too good to be true.

yeah, it is painted. All that plastic stuff is suposed to be black. hope the buyer does a carfax report to be safe, or at least take it to a autobody joint to have them check it out.

Attention everyone! do not buy this car because the motor is grounded wrong and it will most likely blow up!

dude, I believe you are talking about my car. I did not paint the front grill, the previous owner did because he though it looked better that way. I still believe it look clean. This is my second r and on the first one the front grill was not color matched and yes, it looked better but what do you want, I bought the car that way
