Matty, that price is LOW. He should EASILY be able to get 23K - 25K for it from an enthusiast.

Oh and I'd never want this modded. Completely bone stock, minus reliability mods (as necessary). I was VERY close to buying Charlie's black 95 R2 (one of 18) and selling mine, but I had all these mods that I wanted to do, and I couldn't bear to do that to a 95 R2...esp. since they're so rare...

Any 7 w/ that kind of mileage should easily fetch $19k - $21k, esp. rare cars, like a 93 CYM R1, or in this case, a 95 Silver R2. It just so happens that the 95 Silver R2s are rarer...

Matty, I saw the intake, but that's reversible..very minor IMO. Tints, c'mon...that's hardly a mod lol. That's a very good idea...taking care of the interior by reducing the temps. If you're getting bling mirror tints and what not, yea I'd take issue w/ it..but just normal tints...that's cool (and removable)

But then again, I'm prob. biased, cuz I have a 94 R2

I love these cars but they are not ferrari's and you wont be seeing one selling for a $million 50 years from now.
Buy it and mod the heck out of it (because it needs it).

sadly I could only fetch $18500 for my black 95 R2 with just a touch over 60k miles. it was mint though, and I put a lot of money in it to make it that way. It was modded in a similar fashion to this car, with the pettit intake and tints.
anyway, seeing this car almost makes me want to pick it up. I've had my heart set on building up a base model, but I remember how perfect the R2 was... even though it was 99% stock, I had a blast when I was driving it, even when there were other faster cars on the road. The person who picks this car up will not be dissapointed at all
