I believe I just spoke with the thread starter on the phone and I am the one that post it talking about. I have nothing to hide and would like to explain to make sure there are no hard feelings.
1.) Yes, I did buy a car sight unseen on this board. The early 911 market is crazy at the moment and has been on the rise for some time. Due to the fact that I did not want to lose the car I did not get a PPI, or even inspect the car in person before I bought it. I simply made a smooth hassle free transaction as per the seller request. I am very happy with the purchase and feel is was a very good deal. The car is probably worth more in parts.
2.) I did buy this car just for the engine conversion. I have an early 72 longhood I was going to put the engine and transmission into, however after close inspection of the longhood it is going to require more bodywork than I wanted to pay.
3.) I did advertise this car for more than what I paid for. However, I wanted to make sure I would be able to negotiate. Some consider it a flip, some say I bought it right or perhaps the market is still going up on these great cars. If I lose money or break even on it then so be it. I am open to offers.
4.) The owner did mention the car burnt some oil, however I have never brought the car to a proper mechanic to diagnosis it. From the short time I drove this car it is a fantastic driver that is a blast to drive. It does not show any symptoms of a “bad” engine.
5.) I welcome all PPI by any shop to make sure buyer is happy with the car. Some shops as we know say the car is in top mechanical shape, while others may not. That is why I will allow the buyer to bring it to the shop that they trust.
I can understand how people dislike flippers, dealers, etc. However, this car was bought for a longhood conversion project that is never going to happen. I truly appreciate the pelican community and hope I do not get ousted from it.
Thanks,
Brad
