Hey Darien,

This isn't the 'Primo 88', the nicest Ol' Charley B has seen, now, is it?
(I heard after the offer was 'out there!')

BTW, 86.5 & 88 are a great combo, IMHO!

Now that's a sharp lookin' head turner, Russell! At least, based on what's 'shown' in the ad . . . Hooo nose?

I have every faith, Darien, you'll know when you find the right one!

Best,
Kim

Saw this too.

But there is something not right abut the interior. The leather doesn't look like the standard or comfort seats, it looks aftermarket. Am I wrong?

Big question is why would an 11K mile car have new leather covers?

These covers are definitely not original. They are not even 928 covers. They appear to be 911 or 944 inserts that someone tried to make look like 928. And not very successfully
Even the lower section of the back seats look funny.

The color of the seats doesn't even match the door inserts or the rear A/C cover.
Is there something dangling in front of the dead pedal?

There's one in the Keller/Watauga (mid cities DFW) that I looked at a year ago and posted the results here, it was sold when I looked at it and noticed that it was there again last week (small dealer lot). Pics were good, in person was terrible. It's had a rough life. Just wanted to make sure it was not the one you were looking at.

Ad says new seats, carpet and headliner. Now why would an U-Boot need new interior refurb at 11k?
Those back seat lowers are real funny looking. It's like its got an 'outie' belly button.

Agreed, there's something not quite right there. At a quick glance it looked pretty darn clean, but something happened to necessitate an interior redo??

Wonder if it's spent anytime in New Orleans?

I'm surprised the car is already upt to $20K.

Maybe I'm better off not putting so much information in my add?? Dishonesty apparently pays off!

Sorry for the O/T Darien.
