He squalks about it being "one owner", Carfax says it has AT LEAST one owner, and he tells the tale of how his Uncle bought it in '95 with 20k miles. I guess what he is trying to say is that it is not one of those undesirable multi-owner timeshare cars!!

Why wouldn't anyone buy this car if they had the money?
I think it looks great (except the exhaust, red paint, and SALVAGE title)
I wonder what the reserve is set at though!

Not bad- from 1000 feet away. I'd buy it for 4500.

Why does anybody respray a car in anything but the original color??

Oh yeah- nobody wants a red 951. sheesh.

I'd like to have the rear hatch. The paint job doesn't look bad in the photo's, I wonder why they didn't finish painting the engine bay.

How can it have a clean carfax and a salvage title?

I like these two sentences that are right next to each other, yet contradictory (ie: CYA):

"Please remind yourself that you are bidding on a used car and should expect the normal wear and tear on 1987 vehicle. The car truly is in superb condition and is ready to go!"

Overall it looks like a nice car, but there are a lot of contradictions there, and like Pete said, why isn't the front part of the engine bay done? It looks like they did the rest............

Look at the front. The nose and headlights look missaligned. That's a car I would have to see in person before I considered buying it. Plus, what's the deal with stating it has a clean carfax report and a salvage title.

Run Forest Run.

25 suckers and counting so far. . .

I agree, if it has or has EVER had a salvage title it's good for one three things:

(1) Race Car
(2) Parts Car
(3) Boat Anchor

'Nuff said.
