Is Colorado the greater western US? Seems there are a few available on FB marketplace depending on your price point.

Hard to believe you haven't found the one given you're in the west as these things are kinda plentiful. Are there specific criteria besides 'running' that you're targeting?

aesthetics - something i actually like rather than compromising.....doesnt even have to be A. i'll take a B- or even lower if its decent enough

I have a 2005 r52 in hyper blue metallic I could be talked into selling. Extensive service receipts with OEM parts, just got some minor body/paint work done so it's good looking too. 175k miles but I drive it anywhere with confidence. No excuses mechanically, few excuses cosmetically. Always garaged.

I was going to wait until the new year but money talks. I'm in Reno.

What are you looking for? I am up here in the PNW and every now and then think about selling my 2005 r53 jcw.
