He also says it's worth more than a US model
I like the Turbo rear wing, but why the Turbo logo on it????

But this line is my favorite:
"ADD A PERFORMANCE CHIP AND KEEP UP WITH TURBOS!!!"
Riiiiiiiiight...

I don't know but this blurb certainly wouldn't give me the warm fuzzies as a prospective buyer:

NO INSPECTIONS, NO QUESTIONS, AND NO NEGOTIATIONS ONCE THE LISTING IS OVER. THIS IS A FINAL AUCTION SALE, JUST LIKE ANY LIVE AUCTION. ONCE IT ENDS, THE PUCK HITS THE ICE AND YOU OWN THIS CAR, PERIOD! SO GET YOUR FINANCING, QUESTIONS, AND INSPECTIONS OVER WITH BEFORE BIDDING. NO EXCUSES AS I WILL PURSUE DEADBEAT BIDDERS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT OF THE LAW AND I WILL GO AFTER YOUR ASSETS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, YOUR PAYCHECK, HOUSE, CAR, CREDIT RATING AND ANY OTHER ASSETS I CAN GET MY HANDS ON. I MEAN BUSINESS, SO IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT ABOUT COMPLETING THIS TRANSACTION PLEASE DO US BOTH A FAVOR AND DO NOT BID. AGAIN, I WILL NOT ANSWER A-N-Y QUESTIONS WHATSOEVER, PROVIDE A-N-Y INSPECTIONS WHATSOEVER, OR NEGOTIATE WHATSOEVER ONCE THE LISTING IS CLOSED. THANK YOU.

Sounds like a real sweetheart.

Not that I am supporting looking at this vehicle, or that I approve of the way this is being conducted, but the European transmission gearing is different than the US gearing, and would be significantly faster on some tracks, and probably 0-60. If I were in the market, I would vastly prefer one with the euro gearing. Just my $.02

LOL--what an *******. I can't imagine who would bid on an auction like that. Probably people registering new Ebay accounts just to screw with him.

That belongs to a Rennlist "User"...he's posted pics and info on the car, and IIRC it's been repainted.

WOW, that says it all right there!
Wonder if he has records or proof of the "inspection" that was just done according to the listing.

I read it to say no inspections "after" the bidding not anything about none before. That is not a bad idea as it would weed out the tire kickers that would use a "bad" PPI after the sale to back out.

WHY SPEND $100K ON A 993 TURBO WITH SIMILAR MILES WHEN YOU CAN BUY THIS FOR HALF?

I think you would spend $100k or less on a Turbo Becasue its a Turbo and not C2S with a Turbo tail and logo.

"AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT THAT WILL APPRECIATE IN VALUE AT AN ALARMING RATE."

I guess he has too much money so he is going to dump this "investment".
