So are you racing over with $1500 in hand? LOL!

I went to check out a car years ago before the Internet was main stream, so this would have been from Newspaper classifieds or autotrader or something like that. I'm pretty sure it was a 280Z. I called and asked a few questions and then went to look at it.
"You said that it runs, right?"
"Yes, it runs great."
Ok, great, lets start it."
"No, you can't start it."
"If it runs great, then why can't we start it?"
"It's been sitting for a while and we don't want to suck a bunch of stuff out of the gas tank into it."
"If I can't start it, then how do I know if it runs?"
"I'm telling you that it runs great."

We didn't get any further along than that. It was probably for the best on several levels.

The car is located in Ga....all the other items are from my 'neck of the woods.'
Why is that?

RF sent an ad for that 944, but then Facebook fills in the other ads with stuff in your own area or based on your FBMP search history. The ad for the car, and the other ads on the screen are independent of each other. Presumably any person that clicks on the link will see the 944, and then a bunch of other ads that are different from the ads that anyone else will see when they pull up the 944 link.

I wonder if they are including the nest and critters with that one.

I have a set of one year only, 7&8x16 944 Turbo phone dials on marketplace, listed for $800+
Some clown sends me a message saying that I’ll never get that price for a set of Phone Dials and he would do me a favor and take them off my hands for $300. After looking at his profile, 2 things were very clear, one, he isn’t a Porsche guy, two, he is nothing but a Flipper POS.
As many people here, understand, I have multiple sets of wheels in various sizes and have already sold a few sets at asking price.
