Steve signed most E cars in 04 and almost nothing else. If you had an S281 or a S281sc, you had to know someone to get Mr Saleen to sign it. On my expired E car, Steve signed the inside of the glove box.

It just seems to good to be true doesnt it? That's what I was trying to get at. I mean, its a great freaking deal if its legit. I just dont get why its so cheap compared to the sticker price. The buy it now is 31,400 dollars, the sticker was over 47K. Either Saleens SUCK at holding their value, 17K depreciation in just 2 years? I would think this car would be selling for maybe 36 or 37K. Plus its a limited edition hollywood edition from the movie 2 fast 2 furious. Only 47 were made. If I had the cash, this would be a great deal

with the 05 coming out now the 99-04's lost alot of their value. you can get a 04 gt for 16K in some places now. they have to sell it that low because if they put it closer to 40 it would just make sence for a couple of K more to buy a new one

Steve does not sign all cars as stated, he signs very few of them at the factory.

i would never buy a car off ebay unless the seller was local and i could test drive it. i don't care how new it is. that was another thing when i was actually looking at 05s. they wanted me to buy it before i test drove it. no thanks! go and hit up auto trader.

and yeah, like it was said in here, it's only at 12k now with reserve not met. his reserve is probably like 1-2k less than his buy it now.

ALWAYS check sellers feedback, this guy seems legit.
At 31k thats about a 35% depreciation from 47k. About right.
