FS: Ariel Atom 3 300, California Registered, aero kit, black on black

[Mota Leira]

Previously listed for $72k, now listed for $69,995 on ebay:

Over $80k new optioned out as it is. With less than 3,800 miles, this car is in EXCELLENT condition.

The car has been driven on a regular basis and meticulously cared for with overly frequent oil changes, always garaged, etc. With the 300hp Supercharger and these wheels, there is no other car in the world that can keep up. This is also by far the best looking and most cohesive looking Atom around.

Built October, 2010. Has VIN number, license plate, and all the paper work. These cars can take months to register new and you usually have to "know a guy who knows a guy" to have it pass CHP inspection, smog, brakes & light, etc, to get it street legal. This work has all been done already and never has to be done again and it is completely street legal.

Sorry to see you go - what is the back story

My plan when I bought it was to really get into track driving/racing as I had sort of reached the limits of my M3 and was getting more and more into track days. Then I really got into whitewater kayaking and mountain biking and my weekends became occupied with those sports instead.

So I just haven't used the Atom much and I just bought a pickup truck now (Tacoma Baja) for carrying my boats and bikes up and down the coast and out to Utah, Colorado, etc and want to sell the Atom to get some more garage space.

I've loved owning the Atom and still take it out every couple of weeks for a spin around the canyons here. Living in Malibu I'm surrounded by Ferraris, McLarens, Porsches, etc, and it's been pretty amazing to have a car that will outperform all of them at a fraction of the cost and with basically zero maintenance.

Other than my personal weekend-warrior interests shifting, ownership has been a very positive experience and I could see myself coming back again in a couple years.

Good luck with your sale.
I sold my CA registered Atom recently and have no regrets, and I don't miss it realy.
I had only driven it once a month so selling it was a no brainer.
I also mountain bike, have you ever ridden the San Juan Trail, great ride.
Would like to try kayaking and kite surfing some day.
