Anyone from Stuttgart here??
Hi there,
I'll just try my luck and see if there's anyone here that lives in Stuttgart.
There is an interesting 951S for sale there but the dealer seems to have difficulties with communications skills. (could be me writing in english as my deutsch is nonexistant) I received nice set of pics from them but that's it. Only a very general comment that the car is in perfect condition
So if there is someone living there that has seen the car in person I would really appreciate your comments.
A link to an ad: http://www.autoscout24.de/home/index...id=pwvr2dt1wuh
I guess this is a little desperate but anyway... I live in Finland so I don't want to fly over to Stuttgart without knowing more details about the car.
Thanks for reading.

an idea
Hi Jarmo,
You're probably not going to find anyone here who lives in Stuttgart but you might try this.
Before emailing the auto dealer go to this link and type in your text:
http://www.google.com/language_tools
Then hit the translate button and copy and paste the result to your email client. When the dealer replies just reverse the whole process.
Sincerely,
Rick

Rick,
That might not work so well because english does not translate well.
Jarmo,
I would suggest PM'ing Nicole here on rennlist as she is orignally from germany.

english to german
Wes,
You're correct...that's the case for most language tranlators. However, it will get him one step closer to communicating than he is right now.
I've used it to successfully communicate via email on highly technical work related subjects, so in discussing a car it should be adequate.
Perhaps he could preface his first message by asking them to excuse his lack of knowledge of their language.

Rick
