Ebay auction filled with hot air
Another amazing Ebay auction for a decent looking 993. Unfortunately the seller feels compelled to spew oceans of puffery and bull****.
I also found the low oil pressure at idle disturbing.
Enjoy!

I want you to imagine this vehicle Parked in front of the hottest restaurant or nightclub in town. You walk out and see everyone gawking at it like a celebrity. You click the keyless entry button everyone turns to see who owns this incredible vehicle and it's YOU. Can you handle this kind of attention?
I'm sold!

I have never heard of used tires being decribed as "bedded in" before. Hey, if that works, I have some "previously enjoyed" brake pads I can sell you.

My favorite three claims in this ad:
1. Center dash is your explosive in dash CD player (James Bond must have been the PO)
2. I assure you the A/C will freeze you in seconds (a common 993 trait, especially in Florida).
3. And finally, my primary reason for owning a 993

Very observant with the oil pressure, Andreas. Nice car, but I don't think that I could actually talk to a salesman who actually wrote that pap. (while there's nothing wrong with painting a picture to sell something, that's almost oil on velvet ;-)
Are those headlights actually considered "litronic"? I didn't think so, since they only have H1's behind them.
How much HP would you think the SC and chip would add?
cheers,

How about the missing plastic fasteners for the trim piece under the rear deck lid? I'd say this car has more problems than a one-armed paper hanger in a windstorm!

This Naples seller only deals with fancy wheels...check his previous auctions...he is also known by his "BULLETRY"...which means a prose and verse, intricate speech to describe ordinary things...the essence of bull **** poetry!!! 
PS. On the same mall/condo he takes his pictures, there's a very good, and expensive, Japanese restaurant named Syrah...great happy hour...really colorful if you know what I mean!!!

Lets see, there is wear and damage to the seats in the pic, the car is already overheating (look at the temp gauge from just sitting for a few pictures). And where is the vacuum line for the blow off valve? That must be an interesting car to drive....
