Doesn't $33.9k for a 993 C2S w/73k make you assume it either a scam or something is really wrong? It would for me...

That's it, I couldn't get link in post, TIPS are usually $8k less, here's PPI, grumpy old man said afterwards "Dr. hit a curb", you don't own any Porsche & not have a service guy notice damage that bad, car had been in Zim's before, seller did not like me taking it there, most likely they had seen damage & pointed it out to him before, no way to know, PayPal had to make exception because Deposits on Cars or anything for that matter are NOT protected unless on Ebay

Seller must have Friends here, He E-mailed saying he'll refund, I expect the liberal reply's & accusations & just laugh, but facts are clear & will not close post until I decide.

Re-listed with "No Accidents" removed from add & of-course he never gave Paypal refund, he has buddies here who told him about this post & that justifies his keeping of deposit on a Wrecked piece of SH*T, looks like Paypal is eating the Deposit & returning it to me due to his refusal to return it, they saw prior add & PPI & determined FALSE advertisement, people like this drive up the PayPal fees

Friend of mine called guy and was interested in the car and the Seller says you are a dealer/reseller and were buying the car for resale purposes and that is why he wouldn't return the deposit to you. Is this true or is he just feeding my friend BS?

Does that make a difference? If a condition of the purchase was a good PPi, which this car did NOT have, then isn't any purchaser entitled to their money back? The possible purchaser is out the $250 for the PPI.

If you look at the Carfax there is a link near the bottom that allows you to review this vehicle. You can add you own message and potentially save someone a headache if they do not see this post.

Someone's interested? huh, for a movie car to blow up? His "Friend" might throw Liberal smears for revenge, to change subject,? Who wants a wrecked Turd with a awful PPI? NOBODY, nice try....
