I didn't want to put this in the "For Sale" section because I'm not trying to sell it. It's just that it is not on Cars.com or on AutoTrader. I just happened to stumble upon it, and I thought if anyone was looking, they might want to know it's out there. Black R3's are hard to find.

Now the not so good news. I went and drove it today. Let's put it this way, it has not been babied. Pretty rough example, but it could probably be had at a cheap price. Paint had swirls galore, aerodynamic panel in front of rear tire was not attached. Had a dent in the hood, small but visible when driving. Really bad pin stripes on the side (which could be removed). As far as driving, it actually drove pretty well, just had a constant rattle by the back window and an occasional one in the dash on the passenger side.

Anyway, if someone wants an R3 that needs a little work, but could probably be acquired at a fairly low price, this could be your car. Pictures look nice - let's just say she's a 30 footer.

I've been shopping nationwide for a new R3. I don't want to be pimpin' cars on here, but there is a red R3 available that I am now intimately familiar with. I ran the poor sales guy into the ground and didn't buy it just because I didn't want another red R3. If you have an interest, PM me and I can tell you about it and send about 20 pictures of it. Probably a better car than the one I bought, it just came down to color.
