Oh god it gets worse.

Was wondering why the car was sitting on a used car lot in a few of the pics.

Little googling and I get this.

Same guy, same phone number as in the ebay ad.

Check out what he does for a living.

This is a good example of what long term drug use can do.

Everyone should show this to their kids.

As a Beamer salesman the guys go to know his odds are slim to none the car will bring $25K

But by doing this ad, how many eyes has he gotten on the auction? Maybe this is viral marketing at its best? He puts it in at $250K, thousands see it as it is passed around various BBSs, then someone likes it, makes a realistic deal offline and it is sold.

This guy is just plain stupid, calling this car a "collecter's item"....
Someone go over there and slap some sense into this clown.


Nice pink interior by the way... (24K.... I hope he means Greek Drachmes... )

I'd take a nice 3.0 Csi before that POS any day. The model really doesn't have any collector car cache unless you are a pimp in LA.

Someone should contact him and get him to post it here so he can see all the great press he's getting, maybe he'll give Wayne a commission.

...good thoughts guys. ...either that or he's just hoping to hook a live one...

I wonder if someone said they could pay $50k if he would take it.

Have to keep this trick in mind when my wife decides it's time for me to skid the 993. Unless of course she wants me to replace it with a GT3.

The color of that interior is, unfortunate. Check the driver's side door out, mounted her a bit cockeyed. There was something there called an Auto Check score, similar vehicles scored 39-71, this one scored










40
I have no idea what this score refers to, but this car got one point more than the lowest, so he has that going for him, more likely against him.
