Prospective purchase

all stock apart from a carbon 'air deflector' on top of the radiator.
i would go over all the nuts and bolts, make sure she was never wrecked. also check the intake/exhaust bolts as well as suspension. if they have tool marks, most likely the car was modded. and there is a good chance it was beat on as well. if anything makes you wary, just walk away. there are plenty of gems out there.
maybe i missed it, but how much? personally, i wouldn't buy the car for more then 20, because cars like mine (brand new leftover) can be had for low 26's if not less.

Don't let him add to the price of the car that is for sure. I have the 3M on my S2000 and my wifes 335i and I would not buy another car without putting it on, love the product.
I love all of the "talk" answers by non-users. I have used several 3-m film products and they are all great. They have saved thousands of dollars of paint jobs for me. They will not harm the paint, it is a benefit, and a blind chimp could take it off if for some insane reason you wanted to remove it.
I just paid $25k for my 2006 here in Florida a month ago, but it only had 2370 miles on it, and that was from a dealer. You should be able to get him down a couple grand considering the miles and the need for tires.
As others have suggested, check the fasteners on the exhaust and suspension for tool marks. I think it would be odd for someone to add that carbon fiber air deflector and not have done any other modifications.
I had the 3M clear bra put on mine and I love it, but like others said, I wouldn't expect it to add value to the sale price of the car.

I know when I was looking for mine I was quoted $28k +++ for a new leftover 2007 by a dealer in Gainesville. He said they still had two NFR's. One in the showroom and one in the back lot. Might be worth a check to see if they still have them around.
