There is no way it will cost "just 8 to 10 thousand to fix." The brake disc alone will take a chunk out of that cost. Did anyone else read some inconsistencies in the description?
driven hard and driven often? small fender bender?? Carrera's of this vintage? ooh do they spin? :D
It almost looks like the guy selling copied some standard lines about 911s and used it for this add. Oh well, if someone had the money it would make a nice project car.

>It also has a 10,000 watt sound system and an additional set of chromed out rims

LOL...I think the eBay ad text is a *joke* guys :) Otherwise that is one pimped out CGT!

It has to be a joke. Look on EBay.......not there.

Yes, he was kidding.

Using some creative flair and humour...

Only one place that could fix that and that would be the factory. I bet the roof panel doesn't fit proberly as the thing is covered with a tarp. That chassis is probably distorted now.

If you can AFFORD at CGT, then you can afford to get it fixed. At $650,000, what the hell is 8 or 10, 000 more, give me a break. There must be a whole lot more than meets the eye on this fixer-uper.

Who insures these cars? The rates must be absolutely outrageous!

I'd bank on close to $100,000 to fix that CGT -

It makes me wonder.....what parts from it will fit on my SC?

David

Tire valve caps?

GUYS IT WAS A JOKE...SORRY IF IT WAS NOT FUNNY!!!...


oh yea ..... the add goes on to say that the owners in the UK and if you send him ten thousand dollars via western union, he'll ship you the car free of charge and let you inspect it for 7 days. Then, if you dont want it he'll give you your 10k back.

Actually, I've always gotten a kick out of Trader's humour of sense.

Groesbeck, thank you! Gald to see someone gets my jokes. Ive found this board to be a fantastic diversion from trading.

You should of quit while ahead. The surrounding licence plates are California plates :p . Unless thats the "in thing" in the UK, i'm going to say no :D. But then agian you said "owner". But what "owner" would own a CGT in Cali and live in the UK. That makes no since. It does make me wonder who's car that is... Whats his name who owns the LA Times had his silver CGT at the GAF...

Big D... its even funnier now
 

BigD, actually it’s even funnier with Cali plates... Since one of the common scams being played not he internet is these clowns from overseas that steal Ebay accounts and run auctions of cars they've copied the pictures of from other sources. In fact people on this BBS have seen their own cars for sale by these scam artists. The scam plays out where they try and get you to send them the 10k and also wiggle a credit card out of you using spoof sites.

So my friend BigD it’s a friggin riot in my book, and it’s funnier that you didn’t pick up on the scam. No hard feelings

At anytime you choose, look at the Ebay motors Harley Davidson's for sale page and there are at least a dozen bikes with "buy it now" prices that are more than 10k below market value.... If you try buying one, you'll get the ..." I'm in the UK (or some other European or African country) and I'll ship you the bike...yadda yadda yadda"

I was spoofing the scam on ebay... get it? Oh never mind ... now I've hijacked this thread and I have to apologize to whom ever started it.

Sigh, that was my CGT. The factory said they would replace everything but the ****ft knob to get it back in top notch shape. I was at an AutoX after having the car for 3 days and hit a cone on a tight slalom. :rolleyes:

(apparently I misspelled "shift", thank goodness the thing doesn't have Fuchs)

:D

Trader, thats one thing i hate about text conversations... sarcasum is hard to pick up on. To that point, i knew you were joking. The ebay thing i wasn't aware of though, I hope those who are frauding people get shot.

masraum, what kind of cones do you use down there in Texas??? Oil well towers?

I keep telling you guys that porsches understeer uncontrollably....
