Default 88 Auto on eBay. Inspected!!

Once in a while a truly well described car appears on eBay. Here's a 1988 automatic that is well described by an obvious enthusiast. He also took his detailed picture while the car was being thoroughly inspected!
One only wonders that he forgot to mention the tire treatment the inspector applied after the inspection.

His inspector forgot to note the aftermarket antenna by the windshield as well.

Interior color blue? That would probably be the first time I saw a red on blue 928........but not impossible..........

Is it me, or with a little more effort, could those wheels be more fugly?

There are a few aftermarket wheels that look good on these cars, very few for my taste, (though I am also not fond of the design 90 wheel..........)

His inspector is sniffing out something...
One question; if you're selling your car with only 1 picture, can you find one where your dog isn't about to lift his leg on the car?
However I might be crazy.....

Maybe his wife told him that he had to sell it so he isn't trying too hard................... "but honey I've had it on Ebay for 6 months now!"

I always thought the *** of the car was the back. Apparently it is located just in front of the passenger side rear wheel.


Oh yeah, and that looks like a dealer plate on the Suburban. Just a FYI.

Here's the mileage as reported by CarFax:

CARFAX found no inconsistent odometer readings in the mileage history of this 1988 PORSCHE 928 S-4 (WP0JB0927JS860146).

Date: Mileage:
02/02/1988 47
08/19/1993 53,358
01/05/1994 57,570
09/14/1996 83,462
09/19/1996 83,941
10/09/1998 151,162
04/06/2000 295,981

So maybe 68k is actually 368k!

Looks like the car drove to the Moon or something.

"The car is great looking , but is in need of a professional detail job to bring out the red even more. Straight car with no visible dents."

So how do I make my shark reder?

No visible dents. I guess its just has a bunch of invisible ones.

This person might be borderline retarded. You could possibly give them 50 bucks and tell them its really 50 million and they wouldn't even know the difference.
