GarageScout Take
The Imola Yellow, Silver and Onyx combination with the slicktop roof and six-speed manual gives this Avant a particularly focused factory configuration. At 114,200 miles, it sits near the low end of the observed range for the generation. The 2023 tree-branch damage, mismatched panels, and undocumented seller-reported service are the tradeoffs, with the modifications potentially affecting emissions compliance in some states.
Strengths
- Imola Yellow paint with the Silver and Onyx interior, Slicktop roof, and manual transmission.
- Carfax reports no mileage discrepancies and documents recent service including CV boots, intake manifold gaskets, a power steering hose, spark plugs
- The seller reports recent replacement of the timing belt, water pump, wheel bearings and hubs, brake components, radiator, control arms
Watch For
- Carfax reports minor to moderate damage to the front, left-front, right-front, and roof after a tree branch fell on the car in July 2023
- The passenger-side front bumper is misaligned, some body-panel colours do not match, and the exterior has chips, scratches, and other imperfections.
- The seller reports substantial service within the past 6,000 miles without documentation to verify it.
- The modifications may prevent the car from passing emissions testing in some states.
