Default Ruf Turbo

Do you guys know if this car is for real on E-bay?

Just seems odd that the bids are so low and now reserve listed.

Thanks
Rob

I've been looking at it as well. The seller is not a car dealer, and does not give a location other than USA. He has not replied to my Email as yet. A CARFAX run on the listed VIN is clean except for a failed CA emissions inspection in 2002. The car is currently titled in Nevada.

Looks like a stock slope nose with ruf intercooler. Does he have a list of what was done to the car and by whom. The RUF speedo says 33,xxx miles but when was that replaced from the factory unit and how many miles were on the car before it was converted?

Pretty car but too many unanswered questions.

I can't figure out the 'J' in the VIN.

This car is a scam: Free Shipping, low price, lack of details, 1 day listing.

One day listings are an automatic red flag - someone tries to get a quick sell before eBay or original owner discovers the scam.

This is not a M505 car. Could possibly be a M506 (RoW) that was converted by Ruf, but I doubt it. Looks like a conversion with a few Ruf parts installed. A true Ruf conversion would be easy to verify. A 930 with a non factory slant conversion and a "Ruf" upgrade by an owner is a completely different story. JBH has it right on tis one. A one day listing on a car with this many unanswered questions means only one thing: BUYER BEWARE!

Thanks for the info guys. Pretty sure the person is just collecting deposit moneys on car he neither has or does not intend to sell.
