He says it has every available option. Where are the fuchs, and the car has cloth.

scroll down and look at the appraisal. is the decimal in the wrong place?

OMFG!

Why are people so clueless? If it's appraised for $18,000 - why is he selling it for $6,000? hahahahaha!

Someone send that schmuck a nasty e-mail.

Loving the brown cloth "leather interior."

The seller points out the speedo was replaced as some point by a Porsche shop, which may explain the discrepancy between indicated and listed mileage.

Who ???? is the "certified" apraiser???? I can knock out a certiticate similar to that in about 2 minutes on a computer, and get a "certified" friend to sign it. I bet the only requirement to get "certified" is a drivers license.

i caught that the speedo was replaced, and wasnt pointing that out.

i like that he stated it has every option, but is missing the fuchs, leather, probably the LSD, rear sway, yellow shocks, and im sure a few more.

yet, he signed a piece of paper saying it is worth 18k. i should have hired that appraiser when my S2 was stolen

That appraiser looks to hail from the same place with the Lambo photo in one of the other threads thats got tanks of NOS in the front bonnet.

So that might be good corrobative evidence of a turdhead.

I think the market will correct that appraisal! Still, it does look like a fine example. Probably worth a couple grand above average if it all checks out.

Isn't it illegal to replace an odometer with one that has lesser mileage?

I know you can't do that here in CA, unless you have paperwork with it. Something about getting it "certified." lol.

The date on the appraisal looks to be a week old...but the black text on the appraisals photo really appears photoshopped to me.
