Ebayer: Well, - - - - was it ever been driven in Michigan?? because that would kill my bid for sure.
An otherwise unnotable car but to spice up the summer, I propose we pick some candidates for a Rennlist pool. I'm betting this can be had for $5K ---
It is an 86.5 and obviously the owner is somewhat challenged; must have been shipped to his door from Cali; some wire hanging down from hood release handle? Dash cover is covering something; paint looks new and cheap on my browser. Just the surface. Any other players here?
"BIN" -- immediate deposit of $500 required. Caveat emptor, but if you have been burned by deadbeat bidders, maybe a good idea.

So, never ever buy a Porsche that has ever seen the light of day in Michigan.

I thought there was something in that reference that also recommended avoiding dihydrogenated-oxygen distillates which we all know are quite prevalent in the PACNW!
Caveat emptor!

They don't call that whole area (Mich/Ohio/Penn) the Rust Belt for nothing. I had a new car dissolve into a panel hole flapping heap in 5 year when I lived in Ohio.

So the dude lives in Ohio and the Item says it's in Ohio but it's never been driven in Ohio. So how the heck did it get to Ohio? Does it count if you back it out the driveway for pictures and then pull into the garage?

Even backing it off of a transport to park it would void his statement of not being driven in Ohio, right...
