Why so many disparaging comments on used 911s?

Staylo,

Just where in your past education did you EVER encounter multiple difinitions for the word 'IS' or 'NEVER' ??? Law school with Senator Biden, perhaps, where plagarism was just another little dirty fraternity trick?

Give her the car! At least then you can borrow it.

Jon,

Some ads are so misleading as to invite derision. Other ads need to have poor workmanship pointed out. I have seen some (this is a minority) reviews of cars on e-bay where people have said they liked what they saw and suggested taking a closer look.

Putting money into a vehicle is not an investment unless you can find something like one of the missing "Lone Star" cars from the early days of automobiling made in San Antonio, Texas. If you do, please PM me.

Terry,

I think your baby looks very nice! I would want to check out the mods, but you seem to be upfront about it, no embellishment or misleading information. If you don't want to do CZ, try another type of stone. My wife's engagement ring has zero diamonds on it. She loves the emeralds and platinum. None of her friends/acquaintences have anything like it.

Buying a Porsche is like buying a classic black BMW motorcycle from the 60's. You want it to be as stock as possible. Harley bike is another extreme example. You want it to be customized and as unique as possible. I personally would not go for 911 that's been modified or engine swapped. As stock as possible is the key factor for a used 911 unless the engine is being rebuild by reputable shops such as Andial.

Ha-ha... No cheap diamonds and yucky gold for your lady . My lady likes them green stones too. I think she did it to convince me that diamonds are cheap.

Not the Clinton vs. Bush crowd again

I think the exaggerations are more Taft or Garfield-esque

Car - your asset - ring - joint asset. With that said - don't skimp on the ring - evrytime she shows it off - she be confirming to herself what a great guy you are.

Car ads - easy pickings - they are SO much fun... I love the V-8 911's or the no rust when you can see paint bubbles...

My lovely wife of 16 years won't even wear her engagement ring anymore. Reason: I bought it back when I was making $80 a month working during college (i.e. beer money). Two months salary in my case didn't buy that big of a rock........
