Description:

Thanks for looking. If you are here then I'm sure you are familiar with the Esprit and all its attributes. I purchased the car in 2011 locally here in the NY area. She did need some love but many crucial upgrades had been done as well. I will list everything below:
-K&N installed by me along with short air ram mod-Genuine HKS SSQV BOV with JAE connector-JAE Coolant hoses-JAE red clutch line update-Quicksilver Heritage exhaust built for me in 2012, sent from UK-Esprit Performance test pipe (original cat pipe included)-Esprit Performance shifter cable update (installed 2012)-A23 Calypso red respray in 2012-rear spoiler delete at respray (front lip added)-Wise square taillights (originals included)-Corbeau racing seat (original included)-MOMO Mod 88 steering wheel-JPS shift knob and Parking brake handle-New Pilkington windshield 2015-Headlight motor gear update 2013-fresh Oil Service 9/2015-PUK billet wastegate actuator 2012-new fuel vent hoses (2012)-fuel tank rebuild/reseal 2010-transaxle fluid changed in 2013 Redline MT90-timing belt and clutch at 35K (timing currently due)-new vacuum pump in 2013 (original included)-new door lock cylinders and keys 2013-new ignition key and original included-S4 wheels machined to fit hubs.-aluminum pedals-S3 Esprit Turbo graphics-Final Edition trunk script-Owners manual
To be transparent, I will list what I discovered post purchase. I hold a clear NY title, when I purchased the car the same was given to me. Upon looking into the history of the car there was a mileage discrepancy early in the Esprit's life. The car was registered with 100, 749 when I assume it should have been 10, 749. All the other mileage entries after this one coincide with the current mileage of 50, 389. Carfax shows a branded title that may be due to this mileage discrepancy as it states Exceeds Mechanical Limits title issued. Carfax also shows no total loss or structural damage. That being said the car runs and drives great, no check engine or warning lights on. All gauges work. HVAC is not cold but blower works. The car does need rear tires soon, fronts have plenty of tread. Driver's door has paint chipping at door hinge (touched up). Passenger door does have a 1 inch paint bubble near door strip. Power delivery is great and she is loud. Let me know if you have questions or want specific pictures, etc.
