Excellent condition with 13,500 miles. I have had the truck since November 2005. During my ownership I have done some mild modifications. Installed XM radio interface (turk), 4:56 gears, Magna Flow exhaust, and I sent the PCM out and corrected the speedometer calibration, changed the radiator cut in temp, and did some timing and fuel changes.
The truck has always been in heated storage, never out in the rain and of course, never seen snow/salt.

Nice Truck!!! I have a blur 6sp. I a curious, how many RPMS do you turn at 80mph??? On a scale of 1-10 how much more fun is it with the 456s???
Thanks, you have an awsome SSR and a great price!!!!

Well, I have not been at 80 MPH to see the RPM on the tach, but one thing is for sure is that it feels so much lighter with the 4:56's. First gear can almost be eliminated if you are rolling through a stop sign. Sure is nice in town traffic too for the truck is so forgiving in that start and stop traffic. I have not driven the truck for about 2 years so I can't remember the RPM's at 55-60. I know somewhere on the net is an RPM calculator based on tire size and gear set.

That isn't acceptable.
If it is the right SSR for you distance and location is secondary. This SSR has only been driven a couple thousand miles per year and sounds like it has been babied. Many of us bought them based on owner reputation, references and pictures from much further distances. I'd rather buy a great one 2000 miles away than settle for less from next door. I have a 6sp with 4.56's and it is way too much fun.
Sounds like an opportunity to buy a great SSR and drive it back down the coast.

Excellent advice, Cash.
It has been six years now but I'll never forget my 1600 mile trip to Southern Illinois to adopt The Doophus. I would do it again tomorrow if necessary.

Thanks Cash & Doophus for the support.
The main reason I have not driven the SSr recently is 2 problems. My business is very busy in the summer and I have 3 other (old cars) and a motorcyle and a camp so simple math says that when one has only 1 day per week (and that is if the weather is good) one may be able to go for a short ride. In 3 years I have 3500 miles on the bike and I get less than 500 on the old cars.
Funny thing an old wise man told me 30 odd years ago. " Work hard and have all the toys you want and then you will soon discover that you do not have enough time to use all of them" Back then all I had was college bills and I thought he was crazy!!
My winters are a bit easier with time so as you can see in my avatar I tend to play with old snowmobiles, thus the name "Oldsledz".

The vehicle and you are both on the east coast. Car transports run that corridor regularly. Wouldn't be much of a cost to have it transported, and a really fun trip if you don't.
Price on this SSR is excellent considering the mileage and great equipment. A good one to grab and hold on to. Hard to figure on a better deal, mileage or equipment coming along.

Hey there. You have a beaut there!
I have an 05 and would love to have yours, if I can sell mine.
Have you owned since new?
It is difficult to find the "right" R when looking!
Oldsledz, I have a very dear friend that wants to talk to you about the sale of this SSR. I need to provide him with contact information so you guys can discuss. Please advise how you would best want to hook up with him. You can PM me with your information or I will send you his contact information. Whatever suits you I will work with.

Yes I still have the car. I have 2 people that have shown interest in the last few days and have not yet set up a time to see it so it is still available. CT to ME is an easy day ride.
