Turbo deal of the century? You tell me..

[trader220]

No affiliation blah blah just looks like a heck of a deal, but as you know that sets warning bells off all over the place... you tell me.

Yeah I think your right... thats one he11 of a car for 25G .
As long as it was not smashed it looks like a deal

[Rot 911]

Wonder what the real story is on that car?

[dyerkes]

If it sounds too good to be true...it most likely is. It seems incredible that the person would put 60k into the rebuild and repair work, not to mention the orignal cost of the car, and then turn around and resell it. Although most of the photos of the paint job look good, the close-up of the hood certainly doesn't do a sell job on it.

I definitely wouldn't consider it without either seeing it in person, or having a trusted source take a look at it first.

It looks to me like the real deal. The price reflects that it is a dedicated track car. What a monster it must be.

Well it is one ugly car, that could by why its so cheap, Those headlights and the body kit stuff looks miserable. I wouldn't pay $25,000 for it.

Me neither.

Note that the sellers name is melanielvsdale: could it be that Melanie is leaving Dale and selling his car?

[dyerkes]

Henri,

Or perhaps it's Melanie loves Dale, and is selling his car in order to buy him a brand new turbo...yeah that's the ticket :-).

Look at the upgrades, that is one smokin deal ,,

[K9Torro]

Strange I was going to post this same car - something just does'nt feel right about this , either it is the deal of the decade or it is a scam of some kind. Guy has a total of six (6) feedbacks all too old to look at....hmmmm

Oh and look someone made him an Epay offer , when you click on it this guy also has a total of six (6) feedbacks all too old to look at ..... ahhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh

As to the guy making comment about it being " hard to drive " it sure makes me wonder if there is something not right about the engine build ?

The car has not been registered for driving since 2002 , and he says that he has not raced the car , ok what has it been doing the last five years , sitting in a metal building , rusting and varnishing up the FI ?

OK just sent him a question about the car and why it is listed so cheap cant wait to see his reply ???

Todd

PS... also why is it still being offered with the buy it now so cheap?

[Macroni]

Is he also the seller of the 45k T on ebay?

Must have bought the yellow paint by the barrel.

[trader220]

I just saw that last night I like the T a lot better but not that that price

[K9Torro]

Someone just jumped on it with the buy it now.

$25K doesn't seem like a "steal" to me... $12K would be...
