Too funny....

Can't wait for his reply back.

"Hi...

I may be interested in your vehicle and was wondering what the difference is between the regular seats vs. the sports seats that you have? Are there any leaks that you have encountered (ie. coolant leak)? Lastly, I didn't notice the aluminum package shifter and brake handle that came standard with the C2S. Were they swapped out for the leather?

Please advise. Thanks!"

My reply....
"Thanks for the quick reply!

'what possible source would there be for a coolant leak on an air cooled engine'
-Does this mean that there are no leaks?

I am still wondering what the differences between the regular Carrera seats vs. the C2S sport seats?

Thanks again!

Aw, you guys are terrible. Great reading!

I think you all have set a pretty high standard for ebay auctions in terms of hucksterism and salesmanship. The car is obviously misrepresented (and would it have been too much trouble for the moron to back the car out of his garage and take some decent pictures of it?), but it's nothing compared to some of the 911's that show up on ebay.

This one is a stripped and rusted out shell that comes with a pile of rusted VW and Porsche parts, but is advertised as a perfect candidate for a race car or concours restoration!

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showt...hreadid=201629

Did you guys see that 2.7 911 with 964 bodywork that was advertised as a 3.3 liter 1986 930? That auction set a gold standard, I think, in creative evasiveness -- the guy managed to completely gloss over the fact that the car has a 2.7 in it. He even said his mechanic told him the motor (the 2.7, not the imaginary 3.3) puts out 300HP. He was caught, thankfully.

What are you referring to when you say, 'real S'. And the so called 'basket handle' or brake light bar was only fitted to the the '95 993 Coupe, all 993 Targa's and Cabs.

It seems that the seller does not even know that his "wide body 2S" is a manual rather than an automatic as advertised

Default too funny

I sent the seller the following message:

Hi. I'm interested in your car. I'm looking for a manual but the description says auto. The picture looks like a manual but I can't tell for sure, plus I didn't see the correct instrumentation on the dash if it is an auto. If it is a manual, I would like to come see the car. Please let me know. Thanks

If I get a reply from the moron, I'll post the response........


Here is his response:
"6 speed not auto rs tail not turbo if you are not close to my price you will be wasting both of our time"

You should talk him into throwing in the washer and dryer in the deal.

I think Terry was trying to yank the seller's chain.
