a lot of people repair cars without reporting it to their insurance agencies, so any repairs done to it will never show up on carfax. make sure you always have a knowledgeable guy there who worked on cars if you can. there is a whole laundry list of things to check off.

They're worth more money to the right person, but hopefully the dealership doesn't know what they have there...

from wiki

SE – (late 2010–11) Is a combination of all three 2010 models; some key features are the GSR front grill and interior, MR rear diffusers, 6-speed TC-SST transmission, Eibach springs and Bilstein struts, MR touring rear-lip spoiler, and heated seats. Only 340 were produced in the United States. A special key fob with the series number and a letter of acknowledgement from Shin Kurihara were given to the purchaser of this trim.
It might be 50 pounds lighter than an MR, but it's not 500 pounds lighter in this planet.

Yeah I assumed everyone just knew that was a typo he made.

It's a 50 pound difference.

It could very well feel a little sluggish as I doubt theyve changed the trans fluid and trans filter. Suppose to do that every 30,000ish. I didnt know that and at 40,000 I changed mine out. Night and day difference and go with SSP on fluid and aluminum filter. Sounds like a good deal
