I purchased this item new and have stored it in a place away from direct sunlight. It was one of my favorite collectibles, but I'm selling it because I no longer have space to display it. This is a model with a Lancer Evolution aero kit and a titanium-colored muffler, which looks incredibly cool. Although it is new and unused, there may be some minor scratches from storage. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item.
