I spy why this one's so cheap.

The carton board underneath hiding the huge oil leak?

Winner!! Looks like it's hemorrhaging fluids. Too bad.

 

What if it only needs a set of oil return tubes, or some valve cover gaskets? Looks like it's been sitting for a while....not unusual for a slow drip to look like the exxon valdez just unloaded when it's been left for a few months, especially when it's soaking into cardboard and spreading out (ask me how I know!).

Who knows, if it's truly a one owner car, and has decent records, it could be a pretty good deal provided it's nothing serious.

However, I always raise an eyebrow when I see a keyword string like this one in a classified ad...

OK, I'll bite. How do you know?

 

All 911s leak. I would bet on collision damage before anything else.

 

My favorite keyword in there is "car"

 

Not true, many do not.

 

Not in the 9k range. I know that many don't leak, but will sometime.

 

is ure wouldn't let a piece of cardboard under a car keep me from investigating further if I was local and was looking for a car like this..
