Alas, this will never be true in any context.

The tilt steering option must be a "Special Wishes Dept." add-on.

Am all up for a bidding war, have already sent him some funny e-mails, the first one about the fact he claimed it was a 1996 model, within half an hour it had aged back to a 94!!!!!

Game on!!

Default A few questions are in order.....

No previous feedback on EBay either.

I just sent a long 'EBay' email to the seller asking for clarifications on several items that were inconsistent or not mentioned.

Buyers beware!

I just was notified about this (thanks 911URGE)...I can't believe it! Yes, the pictures of the car posted "was" my car and the original pics are on my site hosted at http://deleos.com/myporsche. It was sold to a guy in Canada!

Even "if" it was my car the Ebay ad reports the wrong year, incorrect mileage by 60K miles!, and previous owners is completely wrong...actually the whole ad is WRONG!

I can't believe even my license plates are posted on the ebay ad

Complete description of my car located here: http://deleos.com/myporsche/

I have notified Ebay of this problem.

I suspect the Ebay seller thought they were safe when my 964tech site registration wasn't renewed in time and I lost the domain so THAT sight was no longer up. Little did they know I still have the backup site up and running on my primary domain!!! http://deleos.com/myporsche/

Buyers beware!
