Default Check out this neat little XR8 for sale

Though quite a few guys might like to see a sprint in mint condition. This thing is beautiful.

a sprint interior... a sprint MAF... sprint kit... sprint sidemoulds and bumper strips... sprint mastercylinder... sprint powersteering cooler... plus the right engine code

Looks to be a mint example, only negatives are its not cobalt, not manual, and it doesnt have a sunroof

Aw steady.. You Cobolt guys are all the same!..

Basiclly this IS a Sprint. The price will not drop any further it will go up in the future..
Depending on how you look at this particular car, you could say it is probably 1 of a kind.. It is a Factory Black Sprint (although not a special colour), it has the Sprint body kit option, cruise control from factory and dealer fitted optional rims. Not many would be like this one (1 or 2 at best). An only 120,000km on the clock. Plus it is a very late model sprint.. Could be one of the last being a May 94 build.
Personaly I would prefer the std sprint rims on the car, but, this is how it left the factory and is a 1 owner car. I have been keeping an eye on the progress of this one. I think he started up around the $16K mark. :

Have a read of the add in Ebay.
The seller says that they were changed upon order at the dealer.

I think they look good on the car.. I would just prefer the Sprint ROH items on a genuine Sprint. Each to their own I guess
