Here is the AD…….

This gorgeous 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera is an incredible car that has always been maintained, and the impeccable amount of records illustrate its story from the beginning.

The overall cosmetic condition of this 911 is extremely nice. The Guards Red paint is radiant and glossy, with no signs of dents or scratches. All the moldings, rubber trims, and gaskets are fresh, and the car is absolutely rust free. The car has never been in a accident and it does come with a spotless Carfax.

The interior is in great shape and everything has been well preserved. The black leather seats are in a very nice shape, and both bolsters are scuff free. There are no cracks in the dash, no scratches on any of the instruments, and the car still has the lingering vintage smell that has always been a big part of the Porsche experience. All the electric gauges work properly, and the air conditioning system is fully charged and blows cold.

Mechanically, the car is extremely solid as the top end rebuild has just been completed. The 3.2-litre engine is completely dry and everything ticks like a clock. The G50 gearbox does not miss a beat and the synchros in every gear feel good. The clutch engages properly and does not stick. The car handles excellent, and the brakes stop straight and true.

The underside is still intact with its original floor pan, and the car has not been undercoated as there are no issues to be hidden.

The factory optioned color matched Fuchs are in impeccable shape.

A lot of dealer Hyperbole in this ad: impeccable (used three times), radiant and glossy, spotless, extremely nice, etc....

[Macroni]

The G50 cars certainly hold their value......

Thank you for showing off my ad. I really like this car and have just spend lots of monies to make it solid. However, I am baffled where did you get the "unique Guards red" & "rare Fuch style rims" quotes from? Hmm.. Let me know when you find them, so I can change them up

[Matt Monson]

Monies? Please...

[specialtyoneinc]

Seems like a pretty fair/accurate write up to me on that 87 911.

On the other hand you got jokers like this....

Read what I wrote; those examples were not specific to any of your description of your car ad.....




Since I do have your attention: What is an "impeccable amount" of paperwork?

Well, I guess using my ad as an example to start a "sarcasm tread" would appear that something must be quite "sarcastic" about my listing.. Perhaps I did not follow your logic, but if I was to lets say talk about "how bad some beer tastes and then use photo of Miller Light" one would think that's one of the beers I am referring to. .. Or maybe I have missed that little line that said, "these examples are not specific to this ad." But I am probably just confused..

As far as "impeccable records" go.. Well, full 29 years of records with stash close 100 pages would make me think that's quite impressive.. But you tell me

[mulsanne79]

I think I understand where Macroni was going with this tread.. And understandably so.

No sir, this is not the GENEVA FOREIGN car I wrote the upsetting tread about. That car is still in the shop getting work done, and is still lacking the "tons of records" and any evidence of "one owner" owning that car.

Regardless, thank you for keeping up with my ads. Good to know I have a fan

Have a great day

It was a decently written ad, better than most. However I don't think "impeccable" means what the writer thinks it means.

According to my Concise Oxford... "faultless, exemplary."

To say "an impeccable amount of records" is nonsensical. Fuchs wheels can certainly be in "impeccable shape" though.

I agree a thesaurus may be in order as to use that word three times in a listing is a bit much.

However, if the car is the same car as the one that was sold in Arbee's ebay link, it may be inaccurate to say "the car has never been in a accident." The seller in the ebay auction responded to a question about the car's history by noting "The repair records show that the car received a dent in the driver's door when it was new, but there is no sign of it now." So the car was damaged at some point. Whether this was an "accident" or not is anyone's guess at this point.

Cheers

ps Looks like a really nice car and a value-add flip, if I might put it that way.

[Matt Monson]

Mulsanne,

An old friend of mine used to say that the truth needs no defense. Remember where things ended up last time? Walk away because prospective buyers can decide for themselves.

It's a dealer's ad. It contains flourishes. Most dealers' ads do. No reason to take mocking them so personally. Mocking that ad doesn't mean the car is being mocked.

[mulsanne79]

Hey Matt,

I believe OP thought this is the Geneva Car, and understandably tried to call me out on the write up.. Of course, this is a completely different car and I don't mind talking about it.

The Geneva car is getting work done and will be advertised hopefully within 14 days.

Regardless, I do understand your point and I am not planning to go on an angry rant anytime soon. However, I don't mind speaking about my cars time to time, and separate facts from fiction

Cheers

[Gaspassin]

Maybe I missed something? I didn't get the feeling that this was regarding the other car. Seemed to me he was poking fun at your impeccable use of the English language. Not really, but just the hyperbole that seems to be unique to the used car game.



I frequently visit your cars in various venues online and pine over many of them. Some pretty sweet rides. Some aggressive pricing that I believe you have little problem achieving.

Dont know a thing about the car but I dont get why the ad is being mocked by the OP. Yeah, the car has to be 90% to live up to that (which most dont when you take a closer look). But I dont see any need to make fun of the ad itself.

The OP thought he had "something" that can be talked about, and make my ad disingenuous .. Unfortunately, he was wrong about his assumption, and although I give him credit over and over in my replies, he reminds silent and won't come out to adjust his post. So what I can say.. Another "keyboard warrior" that can't handle being wrong.

Macroni, speak to me bud. Now that I got your attention… Lol

[Macroni]

Yes, I started a thread with the idea of ridiculing mulsanne after the genevamotors thread on a very similar car (different interior color) using very similar terminology that he felt was so misleading......

In retrospect it was a stupid idea... and I apologize for wasting this valuable space and your time......

My opinion of the car is it is a guards red 1987 Carrera that appears to be in driver condition..... I would recommend inspection prior to purchase like I believe should be performed in all used car purchases.

Well, I don't know. Compared to the copious amount of records that came with my car (records all crumpled up and dog eared,) I'd say those records are indeed impeccable
