I was about to emaiil him and ask him about that warranty- if he gives it to me in writing,
why not? Despite the freak ad it seems like a nice car, overpriced but nice.

You can't buy them.

There is only one.

This one.

You can't get a DYNO TESTED LIFETIME WARRANTY on an ENGINE anywhere other than with this car!!

And remember, additionally this engine is in an ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE.

Is it just me or is anyone else wondering why he didn't include at least one photo of this DYNO TESTED LIFETIME WARRANTY ENGINE?

I'd love to see and drive it... I dearly love E34s.

Gonna check it out, Randy?

If so, snap a pic or two of that ENGINE.

Please.

Woah... hold the phone. If you buy it, he's gonna put ANOTHER DYNO TESTED LIFETIME WARRANTY ENGINE in it. And that will make it even better because it will also be GOOD.

At www.jbmw540.com :

When you decide to buy it, I'll install a DYNO TESTED GOOD LIFETIME WARRANTY ENGINE JUST FOR YOU! That way you'll be the 1st owner of the engine and BE SURE THE ENGINE IS GOOD!

"It has a very special formulation on the paint. Take it to the car wash weekly and it won’t damage your paint. Leave it in the summer under the Las Vegas hot sun and the paint won't fade. Instead the paint will get even harder. This special formulation is hard to find but I've been using it on my cars for 30 years. Buy my car and I'll tell you where to get it."

Magical Vegas butt grease, I bet.

And I'm guessing the house in the picture is probably not his and when the car sells he will disappear forever along with that lifetime guarantee.

He did spend a lot of time typing in that BS though.

It enhances my confidence in a transaction, knowing that the seller has used the Best and Most Expensive FREON.

Sounds legit.

45 times. He used the word "Perfect" 45 times.

On the plus side, his spelling is tight.

Dude, dyno tested lifetime warranty!

It reads like the script to a really bad commercial. I see a man in a chintzy suit saying dyno tested lifetime warranty 10 times fast.

Um, no. If I show up and don't buy, he might kill me.
