Vehicle Description
Searching for a truly distinctive ride? A performance-centric, open-air roadster that you'll rarely, if ever, come across in your daily travels and is purpose-built for spirited driving? Then give this 2014 Factory Five Roadster 818S a close look. Unlike the competitors in its segment, its manufacturer has been around for more than 30 years and, while it takes only a quick glance to confirm Factory Five's design acumen, the company's lengthy experience has allowed it to perfect the construction process, resulting in a car that not only holds plenty of visual gravitas, but is also built for the long haul. Dressed in eye-catching red paint and rolling on a set of staggered 17"/18" Touren wheels, this is a car that not only looks the part of a true asphalt conqueror, it's plenty of capable of acting like it, as well.
A look inside the cockpit of this 818S will confirm its primary purpose. This is a roadster built for adrenaline-inducing driving, with a pair of aggressively contoured racing seats at the center of the interior that are equipped with five-point racing harnesses bracketing a carbon fiber-clad center console that puts a low-profile shifter within close reach. The accommodations inside this cabin are plenty comfortable, but there's nothing inside these doors that doesn't serve that aforementioned purpose. No frills or added weight anywhere. Just everything you need to take advantage of this roadster's strengths.
This Factory Five creation is powered by a 2.5-liter H4 engine that began life propelling a Subaru Impreza RS. This compact but potent powerplant was thoroughly inspected before its reassembly and installation, and pairs with a 5-speed manual transmission with the same origin that's gained accolades for its smoothness and reliably consistent short throws to make for a drivetrain that's a lot of fun to put through its paces. When you factor in the engine's capabilities and this 818S's unusually light weight, you have a bona fide formula for acceleration and, with its low profile, mid-engine configuration and adjustable front and rear coilover suspension, it's a world class corner carver as well.

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES: A documentation fee of $225 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit due at time of offer and an additional $500 non-refundable deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase.. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
