well, the good part about it is I will be working at DeMan Motorsports starting next month, so I will have plenty of cars to chose from when I want to buy another one. (notice, I say 'when', not 'if')

Nevermind.. I just looked at the e-bay listing..

Ben83944

nope, not yet. there were a few people who emailed me about it. one guy sounded very intrested (hes also willing to pay an extra $2k to have it shipped to his country, where ever that is) but noone has "bought it now"

Chris_924s

The "extra cash" option is most likely a scam.. very common scam on e-bay.
Ignore that. Do a search on "scam" and you'll see.

Ben83944

well, Ill see what happens, but he said he'd send me a cashiers check, which seems pretty legit.

SCAM... RUN AWAY. .... PLEASE

Do NOT trust anyone willing to give you twice what you are asking ESPECIALLY of there is some "other country involved".

Ben83944

Chris- you have a pm

Ben83944

ok, Im running away. I just emailed him and asked him very politly to NOT bid on or buy the car. Thanks guys, Ive never been scammed on ebay, and I dont ever want to be.

Ben83944

I really need to get rid of this car. I only have a week left in KY and it needs to be sold before next wednesday. ALL REASONABLE OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED!!!!!! I DO NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH THIS THING WHEN ITS IN KENTUCKY AND I'M IN NEW YORK!!!!

jyoon

agree with M758 it's a scam. had the same when i tried to sell my 2.3 16v 190e. the scam goes like this: he tells you he will buy your car on behalf of his client and will send a cashiers check. he then says his client accidentally sent you a check including the shipping amount included. he tells you too cash the check (which is bogus) and forward the shipping amount to the shipper (him). Hoping you send the check before his clears. my advice is to not deal with anyone overseas period. who would pay the shipping costs that are more than the cost of the car? it's all a scam.

Too bad you're not living in NY and moving elsewhere... good luck with it, a good buy IMO for someone in the area with a little mechanical know-how.

got something to drag it on a dolly with????

Chris_924s

U-haul will NOT rent a dolly for a 944. You would have to flatbed or trailer it in order to transport it more than a few miles.

Shutemup

Why not? they rented me a dolly for my x-wife's nova back in the day, had to drop the driveshaft but hey. tell them it's for a front wheel drive car

Chris_924s

Nope. Has to do with the front end clearance.. It wont physically go onto the dolly without tearing the front fascia, and towing it backwards you'll leave the front end fascia on the road neat the first bump you encounter.

Ask me how I know. I did get a 2 wheel dolly from U-haul and tried it. Flatbed or trailer is best.
YMMV.
