I'm gonna send a question asking what kind of turbo is in the car. Unless by "7,000.00 dollar turbo" he means the whole car?

I am going to send him an email offering him 3k for his car, and tell him I am going to use it as a parts car.

Yeah it is a $27000 turbo V8, $8000 paint job, and he's giving you the rest of the car for $3000. It all makes sense. No more pics necessary I'll take his word for it. I'm placing my bid right now. Please no one bid against me.

Oh yeah, once I get this baby, look out Waterford Hills, I'm going racing!

Haha he changed the aution so now it's a four cylinder. I e-mailed asking what engine and turbo these are, and here's what he said:

"The engine is bran new 944 portche engine. the turbo is not faqctory but a TR racing turbo designed to kick in at high RPM's.

Thank you,
ulyssesulysses.s"

By "bran new" I can only assume he means some kind of breakfast cereal. It's also good to know that the turbo isn't faqctory, whatever that is. Anyone ever heard of TR racing or did he just make that up? Also, not the interesting name, I wonder what the last s stands for.

Anyone think I should e-mail him again with more questions? At this point I'm convinced he's never even seen one of these cars before, let alone have one to sell.
