Default Beware this TT

Guys, beware of this TT. Dealer is questionable anyway (selling flood cars). The Carfax shows a possible Odo rollback.

Just letting you guys know.

Silver TT

I gotta agree ... it's got a face only a mother could love. And that rear spoiler is also hideous.

Global and their ace salesman, Dean Bastas, forever earned their place in the Hall of Crooked Sales Fame last year when a Rennlister purchased a 996 submarine there. Do a search for this - quite the gripping tale.

I would stay away from them at all costs.

And yet this statement is proffered:
"We check to assure no odometer rollback, salvaged titles, reconditioned titles or flood cars."

The first "0" on the odometer is slightly higher than the rest (except for the 3 which is about to turn to 4). Is that normal or is that what you would see from a rollback?

I sent them an ebay message asking if they were looking for any U boat commanders. He answered back asking if I was serious or being a smart ***.
