I think most of the people who read the thread are missing the point. I am not unhappy because the PO misrepresented his car although he clearly did. I love the car and wouldn't let him have it back if he wanted it. I AM UNHAPPY BECAUSE HE REFUSES TO RETURN MY MANY PHONE CALLS (THAT I KNOW HE HAS RECEIVED) EVEN THOUGH IT IS CLEAR THAT I JUST WANT TO ASK A FEW QUESTIONS THAT ONLY HE CAN ANSWER . ANYONE WHO DEFENDS HIS NOT RETURNING MY CALLS GREW UP IN A DIFFERENT WORLD THAN MINE.

Hey! You're on my turf dude.

All I ask for is full disclosure. Running when parked. No current testing, something like that. Oh well, good drayma as we say down south.

Maybe the reason folks become members is to give back in a way they can, and some folks including users contribue technical insight, etc.

So what do you do?
I'm a proud member of the 928 Owners Club and participate as a moderator on its web forums. When I have something to contribute, I share. To me, agreeing and disagreeing with prior posts is silly. The "+1" that is overly used here is the most pointless post I have ever read. I'm not concerned about tallying up my post count. The best posts to read are the ones that present some element of originality. I come here in hope of learning something new about 928s. Occasionally, I get that satisfaction.

My dear sir, you sound like a condescending a-hole, so why not stick with your owner's club forum rather than judging the quality of the posts here, especially since you already know about all there is to know about 928s? I think that the 928 OC is great, but it doesn't have anything close to the content that Rennlist does. The +1 posts allow someone to offer their support without replicating the sentiment of the original post. I'm sure I'll see a reply about how experienced a 928 owner you are, but it won't matter a bit to me, as you've already told me all i need to know about you.

O/K Esprit. i need to know the mileage and /or date the timing belt and water pump were changed. The receipts say 2002 but PO implied new. Should I change the belt and pump because PO won't answer my calls or send me a private message. I can fix the other problems without his help but I can't do the belt/pump myself. I know he has no legal obligation but we are both good guys so I am mystified to understand and I know what his personal issues are because I survived the same issues myself.

I'd be P.O'd as well. In fact my letters on this forum would be in heavy black!
You paid $19,000 for the vehicle.

That is a lot of money!!!
Considering it most likely cost you in man 'wage hours' $27,000 to make.- damn taxes.
Anyway- I'd be furious. You paid PREMIUM price for the car that you were told-in writing - was essentially premium as well!
and like EVERYONE ELSE , who even orders pizza ;expects value for money .
If they don't get it , they bitch about it!

b.s excuses.-on this forum- almost like the car has feelings-wierd!

I'd be livid and crestfallen if it happened to me!! So would ALL of these people on this forum.

So sorry for your expired faith in some.
Mike.
- I hear you.-sorry, but as you know the 928 CAN be an awesome vehicle-DEPENDENT- upon the previous owner!
Go get the mother!

Coming from you, and based on your posts, I'm deeply grateful for that. Thank you for helping to make it clear that I'm very, very different from you.

When did I stake the claim of knowing all that there is to know about 928s? You must have read over the portion where I said I come here in hope of learning something new. You're right about the difference in content of course. At least that "content" doesn't contain 75% bickering. Makes life as a moderator very easy.

Wow, this just got a lot worse. The seller said it is all up and ready. Now we find out that by the receipts it needs a minimum of $2000 of TB/WP labor and materials. Ouch, that's gonna leave a mark.
