So this guy calls to buy my car and...
So this guy from New Jersey calls very interested in buying my 86 turbo...
I spoke to him for maybe 30 minutes. He was very interested. He was asking why I was selling, so I told him the truth, I wanted to upgrade to a 91-92 C2 Turbo. He say's he just called on one and was waiting for a call back, well he found the one I was looking at in Texas. He bought the freaking thing for 32K!!!! OMG I am really happy for this guy but on the other hand, I am a little pissed, I think I talked myself out of a sale and out of a C2 for 32k.. Please feel free to call me all the names you want. I feel like such and idiot.....

Honesty is the best policy...the day will come you'll have the cash from the sale of your '86 in pocket...then you can really have some clout when searching for the car you want. It'll work out. Just hang in there...

You skrewed up, but if it makes you feel any better, you'll find another turbo and it probably wasn't your color anyway

ah, the Texas car was probably a dog with a worn out motor and turbos that are ready to grenade anyway. The guys probably been drag racin' ricers 5 nights a week.

I must be missing something?
so a guy calls you asking about your car, and mentions he is waiting for a call back on a newer C2 turbo.... obviously he got the call back and took the other guy up on the sale. Why be upset? no sugar coating here...@#*^ happens

75 CaB - - Asking ALOT 32k Overprived but mechanically perfect car....
Tim T, The guy was looking for a early year and I was talking how much better I think the 91-92 was... I think I just talked him out of mine and he got lucky on the one in Texas. I told him about Pelican and he said he would join in, at least I got another person on this BBS.. Lee - - I know, I know, that is why the price is set at 32, not sure I can give here up that easy...

Hi RJ,
So here's an ad from the PCA Golden Gate Region (San Francisco). I talked to the seller a few weeks ago, and it was still for sale. If I didn't already have an '86 930, I might be interested in the car myself -- too many toys! -Juan 1992 C2 Turbo Nov 17 Only 21k miles. Black with supple black leather interior. Always garaged, used as 3rd car. Excellent condition. Contact Mark Emmerson at emmersonfamily@charter.net or 530- 222-0469.

I have found that for every missed opportunity, a better one usually comes along pretty soon after...
