I was the second owner. The first owner had it until August of 2015. I purchased this beast from Enthusiast Auto Group of out Cincinnati, OH. I have taken great care of it and only put about 10k miles on it. I recently moved to the rockies and the car is just less practical for me (as a second car). Someone else will be able to use this machine to its fullest potential.

Wow, this one won't last long, absolutely stunning example! Giving me those Dinan jitters again! GLWS

[NoVAphotog]

Beautiful car. Might want to post some current pics (leaves on the trees) just for accuracy not that anything has probably changed. Stock wheels available?

GLWS!

What is the estimated value of all the Dinan upgrades? Maybe putting that info in there and also establishing a base price on the vehicle will help people see the value in the asking price.

[illirep]

I'd imagine EAG will buy this back for close to your asking price, no? Then they can sell it for $22k again.

[cfrans7201]

Great call! Thanks. I took these pics when I first decided to sell... then started to have pre sale sellers remorse... Just put her back on the market. She's only left the garage a few times since I took these pics.

The one they have for $28K with 28K on it isn't selling so they'll likely have to come down on it and if that's the case then this car @ $22K would be within only $3-4K of the other one despite the large gap in mileage. Don't think it'd help sell either car.

It is worth a call to them, however, and see if they'd be willing to buy back.

[ryankokesh]

Damn ... that is clean.

Just wondering, how do you like the Dinan exhaust? Much different than the ZHP exhaust?

[Reasoned1]

Where located?

[hickatew]

Sold :)

Congrats!

Can't wait so see this peach of a car in person - small world when it's coming to a fellow mafioso in your hometown. All be jealous! (except Hickatew... he's got nothing to be jealous about)

[hickatew]

I got it I got it!! It's currently garaged while I get some winter tires and while the snow clears up - we got like 2 feet here in Boston in the last few days with more coming tomorrow.

Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. The ZHP is a great car in general; powerful, comfy (roadtripped Denver to Boston and went right to work at the end of it), just wide / heavy enough, and this one is pretty good condition. It turns out that it didn't have the Premium Package unlike the ad said, which I didn't notice when I bought it :/, might have a coolant issue or two (although, after 30 hours the heat coming from below the passenger seat might be understandable), and a slight VANOS rattle ... which makes the price I paid for it way too high :dunno. But I'm happy! It's made my work commute amaaazing.

Will post pictures soon.

Congrats. Glad to have another Imola in the northeast. There's at least 2 of us in CT with Imola's

As for the premium package, honestly, i feel it's overrated. You seem to have the cold weather package which, being in Boston, is something you will get a lot more use/benefit from.

What makes you think you may have a coolant issue?

[hickatew]

I just really wanted lumbar support :'(

Coolant issue because as we were getting to NYC at 1am on that Sunday / Monday, after having driven pretty much straight from University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana (12 hours), there was a lot of heat coming from the floor and coming off the radio. Put my hand below the passenger seat and it was way hotter than the rest of the car. The next day on the drive from NYC to Boston it felt hot next to my right knee (where the radio bends into the stick shift), my leg was sweating a little even though the rest of my body was cool. It's been garaged since because of the snow but that's what it felt like when the components in my VW started to go, so just guessing.

This may be a stupid question, but did you check to make sure the heat wasn't set to feet only? Also, check the slider between the center vents to ensure that's not set to the hottest setting. Use Auto for the best overall settings as that ensures the temperature in the cabin is what you set it to.

[hickatew]

I checked the heat, yes. Turned it off for a time just to be sure.

[NYRhockey]

This car was previously an EAG car who would does cooling systems refresh prior to sale, so I'm surprised that'd be the issue.

I'm aware, part of the reason for the price. Not ruling it out, though - going to drive it a bit more once the snow disappears and if I feel it again and I'll take it into a shop.

I would also doubt cooling issues...If it was having cooling issues, your temp gauge would indicate (quick trip to the red). Is it missing any of the heat shield??

The factory coding on the temperature gauge is as reliable as a crack addict safeguarding your money.

[hickatew]

Temp gauge is fine but I agree with ^. It was a sauna inside my VW and according to the temp gauge everything was peachy

haha...Yeah, I know it'll stay dead center for a range, but outside of that it should move (albeit rather quickly) to the red if it gets to a dangerous level

[SunDevil_M3]

God I love this car so much.
