Ebay Ad

Read down in the text of the article. We got an "honorable" mention. Is this an attempt to head off the dogs, or an expression of honesty? You be the judge.

IMO - I think the seller has been forthright, but I'd like to see more rust spot pix. Too bad the seller is blaming a chick for getting rid of it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) .

He is obviously a member here and knows that everyone here tears apart cars on Ebay. Sometimes I think we are too hard on cars on Ebay. In fact, unless you have seen a car in person, I dont think anyone should make any speculations about car for sale anywhere anymore. That green one is in very nice looking condition and from the pictures, it is worth looking at. Without a PPI however, its only the sellers word on the true condition. The red car would for sure have to have a PPI done by someone who knows these cars that you would trust. Just my opinion.

Lately I've seen alot of cars where people refer you to 914club. A few weeks ago some guy even had a link.

Though Scott, no cars have been really bashed here in a while. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)

I liked this line "head over to 914world.com they can answer any questions you may have (and they will no doubt have a thread going about this ad)"

Not a bash but a word of caution on the green 71 listed on ebay-- you may want to check how many tranny mount bolts are there before taking it for a test drive. Looks like one is missing on one of the under car pictures. John

Haven't you heard, prices have gone up, it's worth at least $750 now (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

I bet sometimes the bashing is done because certain people don't want other people bidding on the car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)
