This 2016 Polaris Slingshot SL is a genuine one-owner vehicle, purchased brand new from Malcolm Smith Motorsports in Riverside, CA, by its original senior owner. Driven ~51,000 highway and touring miles, it has been fastidiously serviced by that same owner every 5,000 miles. Finished in stunning factory Red Pearl metallic paint, it looks fantastic and turns heads everywhere it goes. To be completely upfront and honest, if you look very closely you can find a few tiny, normal road paint chips from regular highway use, but overall the machine presents beautifully.
The Desirable Gen-1 Powertrain (The Proven GM 2.4L Ecotec)
Experienced Slingshot enthusiasts actively seek out the first-generation models over the later iterations. This 2016 model features the battle-tested, automotive-grade GM 2.4L Ecotec DOHC 16-valve inline-4 (173 HP / 166 lb-ft of low-end, usable torque).
Unlike the high-revving, in-house Polaris ProStar engines introduced later that tied owners exclusively to powersports dealers for high-dollar proprietary parts and service, the GM Ecotec is a legendary, bulletproof automotive workhorse. Any auto parts store carries affordable filters and components off the shelf, any automotive technician can service it with their eyes closed, and its low-end torque delivery makes for effortless real-world cruising and long-haul reliability.
Fuel Economy: ~25–28 MPG highway (approx. 250+ miles per 9.8-gallon tank)
Transmission: Smooth 5-speed manual with reverse; durable carbon-belt final drive
Tire Condition: Front tires have under 5,000 miles on them and are in great shape. The rear drive tire is at about half-life (as any Slingshot owner knows, sending 173 hp to a single contact patch naturally wears the rear quicker).
Brakes: Current Condition & Included Brand-New EBC Upgrade Package
Brakes on the Vehicle: The factory brakes currently installed on the Slingshot are in completely good, fully functional shape with plenty of life remaining—they do not need immediate replacement.
AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURES IS THE Included Brand-New EBC Package (100% Made in the UK): The owner purchased these strictly as a high-end future performance upgrade. Included with the sale are brand-new, unopened/boxed EBC precision brake rotors for all 3 wheels, plus brand-new matching EBC performance brake pads. They are yours to install whenever you choose!

California Buyers: I handle the paperwork and title it directly in your name with a clean California title. California buyers pay state/local sales tax (around 7.75%, depending on your local city rate), an $80.00 document processing fee, and actual DMV registration/title transfer fees determined prior to delivery. My buyers never pay late registration penalties, and there are NEVER any hidden or mystery tack-on dealer fees. I issue a valid temporary operating permit on the spot so you can hit the road immediately while your official documents arrive in the mail.
