I have unfortunately decided to part with my 2004 Blue Ion Redline and put it up for-sale. This car looks, handles, and performs great. It has had a bunch of hard work, money, and sweat dumped into it and will surely make someone a proud owner. It’s in fantastic shape with only 31,000 miles on it. The car is currently located in the Rochester area of Upstate NY. I have a few reasons for the sale that mainly boil down to a lack of money, a need for further focus on school, and desire for a form of transportation more suited for the winter weather. It was a tough decision to come to, I’m sure I’ll regret it later…. but necessary at this point in my life. I am looking to have this sold by no later then Christmas.

As you can see it’s a pretty tastefully and dynamically modded car with a great balance of looks, handling, & speed. No Expense was sparred, everything done as if I were going to keep it forever as originally planned. I pride myself with taking great care of my things, the Redline was no exception….It’s hard to catch this car not washed, waxed, and clean at all times. Garage kept! Mobile 1 oil changes were done religiously every 3k! No problems with her, just Gas and Go. It was fully loaded back in 04 including MP3, aero wing, & sunroof. It does not have the LSD, comp boost gauge, or satellite/on star that came later. I am the second owner of the car and bought it at my local GM dealer w/ roughly 7k on it 2 years ago Thanksgiving. It comes with 2 sets of wheels/tires as mentioned above. I also have the stock hood, stock engine parts, and an extra oem valve cover I was preparing to powder coat blue that buyer can have if they wish. Overall, a really great car that will be missed
Given book on theses cars, the low miles, mint shape, and the 6k worth of extras, I feel a price of
$14,500 OBO is reasonably fair. If you disagree, please keep your comments to yourself and don’t jack my thread.
PM me with serious interest/offers
Thanks & have a good one, Matt
