Remember this one?

This guy was a member and posted with grand plans for the car...wonder what happened? Looks like he took my advice and added more badging...

Yeah, I saw that. Then I get a PM from "Crazy Horse" indicating it's not his car, but his boss' car...?

But in his post captioned above, he says: "I bought the car because it had documented 80,000 actual miles, did not drop a leak of oil (still hasn't made one drop on the garage floor over a year), blew no smoke (even on start up), and ran superb. On pre purchase inspection, found zero rust, even under battery, etc...

The housings were pretty good - good enough to pursuade me to buy the car.

I disassembled the body and interior and, over 7 months, gave her a very nice Grand Prix white base with 6 coats clear. I added electric leather seats from a 2004 996 and a 2" four-point restraint system. The car has a lot of pain-staking detail, too long a list to mention.

HERE'S THE ISSUE - I NOW HAVE COME ACROSS A GREAT DEAL ON A 930 AND I CANNOT AFFORD BOTH CARS.


Something doesn't add up...

And his response to my post in his thread: " Kurt - She's no longer for sale...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As I stated in the post before yours, I'm keeping her. I plan on driving this car until the wheels fall off..."

Well...he has every right to sell/not sell (heck...I've changed my mind within minutes on occasion), but don't tell us it's "your" car when it's not. What else are you misrepresenting? That's my only concern (actually I'm concerned for others who might be burned by a dishonest seller).
