Just so happens the PO of this car is my cube mate at work.

He put in the computer with another co-worker. It did not come that way from the factory. He sourced it for far, far less than what the current owner is asking on Ebay.

He also sourced the Turbo-twist look alike wheels. They are not hollow spokes as indicated.

He also put on the fiberglass splitters and the pedals.

The car came with the sport seats and he did a great job of restoring them with Leatherique dye, but the wing was added later.

Also interestingly when my buddy sold the car it the car had over 110K miles on the odo. A lot less than it has now. His selling price was less than $20K as well.....

actually, this guy bought the car for $22K, that's what Jeff told me on the voicemail he left me. I verbally agreed to meet Jeff's local asking price of $21K for the car, subject to a PPI. Jeff scheduled the PPI for me at Dan Cleraly's(Porshop) in Melbourne-I was actually scheduled to fly in to Melbourne Regional(closer than Orlando, more convienent for Jeff)-from Syracuse, NY the Friday morning of the PPI. Jeff left me a voicemail about the change of plans late Wednesday afternoon.

I expected all to go well, as I believed Jeff concerning the cars condition. I just wanted peace of mind that the car was safe to drive back North.

Apparently the car had some issues that Jeff didn't disclose to me, and he was concerned that I would try to get the car for less money...that's when "Jude" stepped in.

"Jude" immediately listed the car on CL for $33K, we talked briefly about it. The car only appealed to me at $21K-as I believed it needed top end work, probably a clutch, and new suspension bits too. For the $26K bottom "Jude" wanted, it didn't make sense anymore.

Anyway, I have a copy of the PPI Jeff had done on the car when he bought it. It had 110.5K miles at the time, 112-114K at time of sale to "Jude"

vin # is WPOAA299XTS320580

too bad, this is a nice car with a fair amount of options, if priced in the real world...it would sell
