Mason never bought the car to part it. It was always going to be repaired. I bought my GT maybe a year before he purchased this car and his would have been a treasure trove for my build but it was never offered. I encourage someone to take a look at it. The repairs were well done. The only thing I can remember it needing cosmetically was for the nose to be repainted.

Mason's postings disagree..

To be fair, it looks like it only took him about 48 hours to change his mind on parting it out

Caveat emptor.
That's a ****ty thing to do and hope it comes back to bite him in the ***. From what's being said about the car now, you might have lucked out.

Taking a deposit and then backed out for a higher price is really a despicable thing to do. Then again there are always 3 sides of the story. However, judging from Dan's actions of deleting posts particularly the " Gratz, AO" post, I would think Dan is the bad guy. Then again, not buying a very questionable car from a more questionable seller. It might not be such a bad thing.

I'm still a little sad about it, but maybe it did work out for the best. I was ready for a b/b GT. Oh well... I guess I'll never know if I dodged a bullet or missed a deal.

I was prepared to go through with the deal. Even had guys already lined up to drive it back from Frenzy.

My short attention span has already turned to another...

Same seller? "Dan" and "out of my league" are the same. So unsold 16 months later, now listed for $17,400??

I love the S3 fan-shoud with the big pusher-fan, mis-routed wires/hoses, missing hood-light switch and early A/C condenser. But worst of all... wait for it...




No jump-post cover.

Maybe AO should ask some "intimidating" questions on e-bay- maybe the entire list should?

I can visualise some interesting comments appearing on this thread in the near future.

Saw this thread the first time'round. That GT is a steaming puddle of warm diarrhea. There are so many obvious things wrong with it that any sane 928-savy person has to assume that the non-obvious things wrong with it are bad and numerous.

Kill it and send it to the organ banks. It has no use other than to bring misery and poverty.
