Aren't they all not really called 930? He said it has 18 miles on it, never been registered or titled. Then he goes on to say how he just sold an identical car to Jerry Seinfelds daughter a few months ago and told me to eat my heart out. Maybe its just me, but this is the kind of guy that uses the car as a ***** extension and really doesn't appreciate the car for what it is. What a shame!!
Technically it is a 911 Turbo, not a 930, but of course anyone in the know calls them a 930.

It could be worse, you could actually be this guy But then again he doesn't realize what a douch he is.

Ask him the first three numbers of the vin on the car? Not only that but it is a grey market car so does it really only have 17 miles on it?

An interesting bit of trivia. Particularly as a red 968 Turbo RS was the cover car on Panorama for June '08 and the article mentioned its rarity. However, the trivia is a bit incorrect, as the car came on 10-inch fronts and 11-inch rears, not the 8" & 10" set (proper fitment on the 3.6 Turbo) that he's selling.

selling, I think you may find the guy wears a mask and passes his time in banks and liquor stores shouting "put the money in the bag". His price is outrageous. Wasn't there a recent post saying a few sets were being made for the US market at about $4000 or am I getting my wires crossed?

Not to hijack the thread, but perhaps a momentary tangent if you please to Mr. fullquack, -- in the world do you keep from rubbing tire inside your flares … or are you? Mine wasn’t nearly as low when I was rubbing and with less rubber (285 on 10”). Looks wicked like that…
