From the ebay writeup:

"IT IS AN ACCIDENT FREE UNMOLESTED GEM OF A CAR ..."

... in the Michael Jackson sense?

"THIS CAR IS ABSOLUTLY STUNNING IN PERSON ..."

... like a Taser.

"EVERYBODY THAT LOOKS AT THIS CAR ABSOLUTLY LOVES IT."

... based on this thread, you gotta bit of a false advertising problem there, sport.

Fred, you're nutz. You are wheel selection challenged. Always consult with blu before making any cosmetic changes, kay?

Dave, I love number two. One ain't bad either.

I went by and checked out the car last week. It was as bad in person as in the pics. Too many shiny surfaces. The brown dash looked ok.

The condition was just ok. The clearcoat was peeling in a couple of places and the front bumper had been resprayed.

It looks like the original dealer sold it to another dealer. The new dealer has put it up on ebay, with different wheels. That car would look so much better without chrome wheels.

This car (and string) will never go away....

They were the high bidder at $63.1K on the first post link - wonder what they paid for it. Cor2nir, perhaps you should contact them, they seem to be paying your asking price.

Alan, you can be my wheel fashion consultant in the future.

i could live with the gold metallic outside, if the inside were just black.
Or, even black with tan leather inside, might be in good taste.
But, the '**** brown' leather is just terrible.. maybe it can be dyed black and then it is a starting point.

I agree w/ Rob 97 993c2 - If the interior were black and you put some black wheels on it - this could be a pretty decent car - at least theres hope.
