I can just imagine the salesman trying to sell a 4 seater aspec now like this is a special edition. And so forth and the customer will never know
Lol. It was for sale online for a month or so. I wonder if they took it to auction.
If you see an Aspec with the red trim on dash up front and it's 4 seater I'd snag it🤣

Oh wow. Vroom is no more.

I live ~10 min from Texas Direct Auto which was Vroom's only retail dealer in the US. Sold them my Frontier before buying ITS in August as they had the highest offer over Carvana, Carmax, givemthevin, and Nissan dealer across the street. Their sales price on it was less than I sold it to them for in 2-3 weeks time and finally went to auction when they dissolved. I think this was a common theme and likely why they went belly up. Carvana was having same issue and would be surprised if they stick around long term.

Yep. I priced everyone and Vroom was the highest. They listed my car for more then new and lowered it after a month or so to what they gave me. Not sure if they sold it or it went to auction.

I am looking at doing this swap. With a black interior ITS backseat, I will be giving up the red stitch. This seems like a small price to pay to have the middle arm wrest. I am not sure I would ever use the middle seat. I will weigh the seat difference as I am curious to know how much weight savings there was with this swap, or if it was to help with the passenger total weight limit.

Pretty sure it's just the vehicle load capacity reduction.

There is a weight savings. The right and center rear seat back with the built-in middle seat belt is heavy, close to 30 lbs. If the non seat-belt Type-S version is like the left seat back, I am guessing there is a savings of about 20 lbs. Adding a BMW 18" spare is about 28-30 lbs, when you start adding this stuff up we're literally going to take away a tenth or 2-tenths of a second. Maybe Honda/Acura had this right.
