O snap. Put for fire suite on, its gonna get hot in here. Not trying to be an a$$, but if your G gets repo'd, I would maybe get something cheap and affordable, and save your credit from burning in hell.

the brickyard for 10k seems like one hell of a deal, not many of those around it seems, the track silver track is a nice deal too. Oh yeah, when posting on these forums; any forums for that matter, DO NOT start a post off with the any form of the word repo. Its only standard policy for people to flame you, because everybody knows flamers are perfect and never make mistakes like normal people. Brickyard all the way though to answer the question.

Although the Brickyard is a rare colour, the mileage is on the high side, and if it's not been maintained properly could be costly for you. Mind you that can be the same with any car.

Keep looking.

The silver one is identified as a Track model BUT I believe I see leather seats with heaters. Appears to be a Touring model. Just pointing out a possible discrepancy.

I love the color scheme of the brickyard with the frost interior, but I wouldn't feel good about all those miles. Good luck on the fresh start. Are you going to go with the financing route this time?

No track rims, no brembos (from what I can see), and the add actually says touring further down in the description. Not a track car.
