I wonder if it's hiding MO30 options.

Yes it appers to hae Cup 1's.

It also appears as though the steering wheel is on the wrong side, along with Euro side markers, Euro front lenses and a Euro sized front plate.

Cup 1s yep- Steering wheel also seems odd. It also looks as if the lense for the driving light is missing...

That steering wheel and the front plate that is blocked out that looks like a euro plate seem awfully strange..

I emailed him about that car, and he said he didn't really have any pictures of the car itself. Here is one that he sent me. Looks like the same wheels, anyway. I think he mentioned that someone was doing a PPI on it, so maybe he would share the results?

Those are cup II's on the pic. Interesting. It's probably a good car, I wonder if that bike is the reason he can't drive stick now.

Default those two photos are not of the same car

Those two photos are not of the same car - this is my take on it, anyway.

The picture of the car in front of the house has 993 Cup style wheels (http://www.wheelenhancement.com/inde...elDetail&id=26) and does not have the euro turn signal behind the front wheel on the fender.

The picture of the car in the parking lot has C2 Turbo wheels as they're called on wheelenhancement.com http://www.wheelenhancement.com/inde...elDetail&id=31 as well as the euro turn signals.

It does seem odd to me that a person A) is selling a car but can't be troubled to make at least a couple of decent photos and B) says he's selling b/c he can't drive a standard any longer but supplies a photo of himself (assuming it's him) on a motorcycle.

In the ad, the rear spoiler appears to be white, in the second photo, it's black.

Didn't realize there are any 968's in Nigeria....

And if the car in the picture is suppose to be the car for sale then I would guess the Cup2s were added since it is suppose to be a 93 and you would only see cup2s on 94-95s.

I don't think the car in the pic is supposed to be the car for sale, just a "representative." He actually sent me both those pics, saying the second "looked just like his." Perhaps he's just internet challenged...

For now I can tell you it is white with white leather. The body is perfect anlong with the interior, the only flaws are on the front bumper, it has a paint chip and the plastic grate at the bottom is broken from hitting some birds on the freeway. The driverside mirror also fell off, just the acuall mirror part. It looked like the glue just gave out. and thats it. But the car is beautiful. It has the bigger 17 inch carrera cup wheels, and the brakes were just replaced along with the rotors.

Thats what I believe too. My dad doesn't know how to do anything online and wanted to sell his C4 cab. If it wasn't for me he would probably make the same mistake.

I wonder if the guy can also get you a deal on Viagra?

17" (wheels that is) are a common option and not necessarily indicative of M030.

Looks like a scam to me.
