The original owner of "your" 968 was in rosedale. now the car is in islip which is almost an hour away from me.

The guy told me he bought the car in 02, and then took it to Russel Whalers for maintenance. But the only title change on the carfax is in 04. Something is fishy.

2 accidents, that sounds like my 86. I suppose you could even go as far as pulling up the cases with the NYPD to see what the extent of the damage was (i.e. circumstances surrounding the collision). But I suppose that would only be worthwhile if your friend was going to make a counter-offer on the car.

But even if it wasnt a smokers car, my friend wouldnt want it. 2 accidents, and the subsequent shoddy work done on the work, was enough to scare him away.

i was at a different shop, and it was over the summer. the other customer was talking about selling his 968. my ears perked up. when he left i was told not to chase the guy since the car was not what i would want.
