I was thinking they may have just used the VIN tag/door jamb sticker off of the black one. No idea why, since they're using the VIN from a stolen car anyway. That door jamb certainly doesn't look like it's been repainted though.

I'm a bit of a leather freak and the first thing i notice is that both the center dash vent and rear speaker covers are not leather wrapped, inconsistent with the rest of the car and Turbo S spec. The area around the center vent appears to be spread apart a bit as well. Either way, I've never seen an S in person so I plan to visit this car sometime in the future.

...It would be if the Canadian dollar weren't $1.02 US...Taxes and duties are around 11.5% (combined here in AB) if I remember correctly (which isn't often lately)

Gang

I have to jump in here. I have bought 3 cars from them (even with trades) and I have NEVER had an issue. Personally I found them to be outstanding. I bought my Blue 996TT from them and when I arrived I noticed a turbo leak. They replaced the Turbo. Paid for my return flight and shipped it to me at no cost.

Just my .02

It's at a much more realistic price now. If it's history was known (where did all of the Turbo S parts come from, who did the conversion, etc.), I could see them getting close to that.
