    I would have loved to have had one of these. Remember researching prices for used ones about 5 years after they were discontinued, and couldn’t find anything under $15,000 with less than 100k mi or in need of a battery swap. Such a shame.

      Theyre becoming niche collector cars so theyre hard to find cheap. They only made around 17k of them worldwide which is another issue.

      There’s a diehard following that come up with creative ways to repair them but parts are becoming increasingly hard to come by. Definitely not a car to get casually anymore. I had to give up this one because I simply didnt have the ability to fix it.

        I picked one up last week from an auction. It’s seen better days but after a good steam clean, detail, tire/brake/battery it hopefully will be fine
