My dream car

I would love to buy this car. If I was to build one, this would be it. It was on autorader and ebay now. I checked the carfax, it seems clean. Why has it not sold. What am I missing?

Thanks. Jamie.

Try lowering your reserve and you might sell it.

Because I would have to import it to Canada, it represents a big purchase for me. I'm just wondering if I'm missing something?

Ahhh, could be because it has an ugly interior? It reminds me of the Batman movie with 2 face. Red, no Black..

SInce I just went through this I will tell you why it hasnt sold
although Bob kinda stole my thunder. When you start looking
and you're in the beginning stages of dreaming, yea you might love
this interior. But you come here to learn. And you learn, and learn
and even though you told yourself this is it I will never sell it. Everyone
else here knows better. So you start forming educated ideas of what
you want and the unthinkable resell value starts playing a small
part in your thought process and by the time you make your decision
it plays a big part in it. You think about blowing 80K by the time
you're done, you dont want to buy a car that will not sell again.
so wierd interiors, wierd one off colors, wierd suspension mods
and strange motor mods makes educated buyers run away.
An educated buyer wants a nice stock classic look. Thats my opinion
and I am sticking to it. MOST TT buyers just dont pull 80K out of
there wallets and buy a black and red interior on a whim.

Old Guy,

So does the verbose thing happen with age? I thought I was rather to the point. It sucks, move on.

So how many hours now "till car"?

So you don't have the cell phone of the driver? I was talking to my last driver the day he picked up the car, then all the way cross country. Hope all is still on track. I am waiting for the "IT"S HERE" message with pics...

Great taste in colors... If I were to get another TT, that's the exact combination that I would get.. with CF interior, of course..
