911 on ebay
Just curious if this is a good car to buy. I kinda like it. Not sure if that is really expensive or now. Also is there any surprise taxes that would give me a heart attack. Seems to me it would be $3000 to get it to NY (IMG:http://i13.ebayimg.com/06/i/000/9c/d8/2662_3.JPG) |

Never buy without a pre purchase inspection. Especially something hacked or rebuilt and especially out of the country!

I wouldn't buy a car unless I touched it myself. The chance of fraud is too great and the amount of the money too much to risk. Just my 2cents.

I see pretty wheels and paint, on a very tired 930...
wiring looks horrid, front tire looks two sizes two small on the rim, not a car that was built with attention to detail IMO... Ferg |

Ferg Dam I didn't pay close enough attention LOL There is a weird pipe under the car behind the muffler I was wondering about and yeah the wiring looked a bit shoddy. |

It is very good looking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)
BUT, the listing is very poorly written and that always makes me wonder. Motor, trans, and clutch were just rebuilt. Receipts? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

QUOTE This car 26 Years old US buyer can import the car without EPA DOT !!!! I would check with your locale DMV on that one. It might be legal now, but more work and headache than it's worth. |
