yeah someone posted an error in the vin # listing between this car and another in California. I think this one was right. There are also some inconsistencies in the HP/Torque numbers stated in the ad. If you can put eyes on the car it looks to be very nice, but at the money I think he is looking for I would definitely get up close and personal with it before bidding. Just my .02

QUOTE Does anyone else smell something extremely fishy here - the 1st time around he lists a VIN # that is off another year car & obviously is not a just a typo of a 3 instead of a 4, because now it's a totally different number Claims the wheels are Fuchs 9&10s. They are not. Also Fuchs did not make a 10" much less that there is NO way you could stuff them under a narrow body car Says that is has Recaro seats - they look like a Cobra Next to the items on the car, he lists eBay auctions, but if you look at his Feedbacks, they don't match up He lists the shop that did alot of the work as the Shop that preps all the great Porsche race cars. They may exist, but I've never heard of them and I'm around this kind of shit. There are a couple of 911 racecars in the background of his pictures, but nothing exotic He wouldn't answer questions on the last day of his original listing, saying stay tuned - the listing isn't complete yet. I could go, but I think you get my point The VIN issue does bother me, being more than just a typo. What kind of wheels are they if they are not fuchs? I thought the same thing about the 10" in the rears since I could only stuff 7's. Hearts possibly? He obviously is a checkbook mechanic, which doesn't make him a bad person. The car looks pretty nice from outward appearances, but it's really hard to evaluate the conversion of the car without seeing and driving it. |

The wheels look wide, but I can hardly get a 9" Fuch under my flared car.
Being a Checkbook Charlie could explain having some of the facts wrong, but not all of them. Look at his Feedbacks, it's all electronic gizmos - alot of SIM cards. Nothing except one that would match up to a Porsche part T.C. |
