The 19s look too big - but then again, it needs lowering.

"I am the second adult owner"

So how many previous owners were children??

I emailed him to ask whether the V8 was the factory original

I guess he heard me laughing, because he's telling me to, "PLEASE BE SERIOUS".

Do you think I should get a PPI before I buy this car? The guy seems pretty honest. LOL.

Nice looking car though, don't they all look nice?

The best part is that the fronts are 19" as well. He's too stupid to even read the tires.

I got a reply to my question regarding whether the V8 is a factory original:

"I have gotten about 7 E-mails pertaining to this question and sorry to say that it is actually an error that I described that is in error. This vehicle has a V6. "

Well, that's great news then. The guy clearly is on the up and up. Now someone should needs to ask him if he's had any problem with the radiator hoses on that mighty Porsche V6.

You guys are brutle! Probably just some old fart, thought it would be "neat" to own a Porsche. Has gotten "taken for a ride" in (oops I mean with) his car since day one He knows (luckily and after a lengthy search) where and how to start the car.........and thats about all. Bought it from a previous old fart who learned and found a similar sucker to take it off his hands.
