I drove quite a ways to look at this car when it was on craigslist. Stay away! It's a POS! Seemed like the whole car was pieced together. His pictures are deceiving. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...#ht_500wt_1182

Lol, a ten footer? I can tell from the photos that its got come kind of red tape on the hood. What on earth would cause enough damage in a place like that to require a coverup like that...?

It might look like a good ten footer from 100 feet away. I can't imagine how it looks in person

That interior damage is oddly common with tan/black cars. An odd burnt look. Nothing a good interior swap, like I did, can't fix.

Not sure how those pictures are deceiving at all. Interior is a wreck, car used to be another color, tape on the hood, etc.

Oh and in the ad he does state that a PO cut a hole in the hood. Supposedly to release the hood due to a broken hood release cable.

My favorite quote from the ad:

Also I take it that's what an ET55 offset wheel looks like on an early car with no spacer? Looks bad...

I looked at it a few weeks ago in person and the paint is horrible and yeah that's a large hole in the hood. The carfax doesn't make any sense. I don't think the mileage is accurate at all, just my opinion. It had phone dials on it too with the right offset at least.
