Default Midnight Blue '93 GTS on Ebay

I'm surprised this one hasn't been mentioned yet. Looks to be a nice example in my favorite 928 color:

Paint must be shot. He hosed it down for the pics.

This car is not far from me and I have never seen it around at any PCA events or driving. If it wasn't an auto I would check it out.

not in the pics I see. Car looks dry and paint looks as good as paint does in pictures on ebay.

Drips around the perimeter of the car. Water hose in background of one image.

Wouldn't it make sense to wash your car before you take pics?

I think you're a bit paranoid, but who knows. Based on the condition of the interior, it's hard to imagine that the paint is shot. Also, that's a tough one to hide, so the seller wouldn't be doing himself any favors by not mentioning it in the ad.

um, okay, but the paint looks perfectly dry, so hard to see how that would be trying to hide a suspect paint job. That only crosses my mind with a wet car, that is covered in water droplets.
Now if you think he is hiding something wrong with the driveway, well maybe

You're probably right. It's just a well known tactic and caught my eye.

Paint probably needs some polishing, but I doubt it's shot.

Ended without a single bid. Looked like it was right on the money too.

Would make a nice addition for anyone who's looking for a '93 and already has a '92, '94 and a '95 ... but I pointed it out to him a while ago and he said the wheels weren't right.

He could always use it for a parts car.

I swear I've seen this car for sale before, just can't remember when.
