Bruce Sellers here, a more senior member at 48, with possibly the youngest ZHP driver on the forum - son is 16. It's a 2005 silver grey coupe, auto, black leather, black cube trim, perfect alcantara wheel, no NAV and no cold weather, presently 48K miles & CPO thru Feb 11. First learned of this car in late Aug, followed it for a while, and finally bought it at the end of Oct, picked it up 1st week of November. Car originally sold in south FLA, then CPO sale in MD to the person I bought it from who only used it as his weekend car. Flawless body & paint, no accidents or paint work ever, interior at almost the same level. Added new tires, then a new battery when CPO covered a new alternator, otherwise its perfect. I'm planning to perform a Service II soon for peace of mind. Intended to share this car with my son but he's monopolized it. His Xmas take today include new floor mats and a tint job appt on Monday.

Also have an '03 red 330 conv for the wife's fun car, 5 spd, beige interior, 85K miles so have experienced most of the normal maintenance issues. Trying to talk her into letting me sell it to get her a ZHP vert, has to be IR with a light color interior, so will take a bit of time to find.

Other vehicles in the corral are an '07 Denali XL and an '09 GMC Crew Cab plus just sold our son's first car which was an '00 323ci. That last one had an upgrade I
he bought from Bimmerworld, the HKS exhaust, aFES air box, and Shark injector, I can personally vouch that these 3 items made a great performance boost.

During my search for this SG ZHP, I looked at most every available ZHP within 150 miles of DC. If anyone needs help checking one out in my area, just let me know and I'd be happy to assist.

Bruce, thanks for introducing yourself. It's a bit quiet around here today (Christmas day and all). But the membership will surely -- and eventually -- welcome you to the forum when they see this message.

Glad you joined. Welcome.

Recently noticed that the car I almost bought around Thanksgiving -- 2006 AW coupe, 6 spd, grey leather, cold weather, 13K miles, $21.5K -- its still for sale. Hertrich dealership in Milford, DE, it was at their Ford franchise 4 weeks ago, disappeared off the web for a couple of weeks, now they've listed it at their Toyota dealer. It needs about $1500-2000 to get to perfect cosmetic condition, mechanically I found no flaws.

When did you purchase your IR ZHP sedan? I test drove an IR ZHP sedan with Alcantara interior, NAV, and a BMW Performance shift knob in Manassas, VA sometime early in 2010 / late 2009.
