That ad has to be a spoof.

Yup its a beauty. I think the seller should be the poster boy for a reason why sniffing glue in no good for you.

Was originally equipped? Was equipped with alloy wheels, center console, dual horns? What happened to the stuff?

And about that no-slide vinyl... does that help during autocross?

Ready for the drive home... as long as you don't need turn signals. hehheehhe

So did AA get a new Ebay pusher named Parker? Just curious...

They seem to do pretty well on their Ebay transactions, wonder why a new user name unless they are going to have two of them working it now. My guess would be a parts pusher and a car pusher, but we'll have to wait and see how the drama unfolds.

Hey Zois, you like AA? LOL.

Hi Steve!

It's gotta be a spoof... really.

-Lawrence

more like parker and forget about her.

i think someone got burned by AA and is now making fun of them and their ebay-ad style ...

Andy

I don't know. I CAN be slightly gullable, but normally not too.

The evidence this may be real:
- it has a vin number on the auction and shows
- someone invested ~$50 into the ad by placing a real car ad instead of a parts ad
- the price is in the target range of what I think they would think they could get
- they refer to "we", and note that they only accept wire transfers on cars, not Paypal like they seem to on parts

hmmm.

Pre-purchase inspection - Priceless.

If it is a real add, they should be ashamed of themselves, there is a place for these types of people

Let's hope this is a spoof. Otherwise we sunk to a new low in "truth in advertising". Showing pics of all the rust and calling it "Totally rust free" jeezz

It's definately a spoof. I think someone bought something from AA for the last time. The proof is down by all the pictures...look at the comments he made about specifics on the car.... "perfect floor"??? LOL

I laughed my ass off though!!

Gotta give the guy credit. Looks like he got dicked over one too many times by AA, and it was worth the 50 bucks to spoof them.

Here's to parkerautoatlanta.....

"beautiful, like new" HAHA

So that must be the " like new starter"............


[B]

It sure seems like a spoof to me.
It is a new seller as of June 25th, with no prior history.
Check out the other items for sale by the same seller.
http://cgi6.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISA...utoatlanta&rd=1
All of them are AUTOATLANTA.
I love this line in the one description - If you ever brought your car down here and Dr. 914 saw your seat racks he would probably puke at the thought of them.

That 50 is still cheaper than the shipping they'll charge you for a fif-T cent gasket

Hate to tell you guys, but based on the other auctionS under the same user name, looks like this one is legit.

What was their other seller id? Wonder if it's still active?

sm

as mr t says ' pity the fool '

God, I just be bored... or just hot, tired, and sore from dropping the motor...

I like this part on their other aucitons:

"I proudly support my parts supplier, Automobile Atlanta.
All new customers will receive a FREE Automobile Atlanta CD Catalog and Video.
For more information see their website."

THEN, do a mouse over on the Paypal logo. Hmmm, it links to https://www.paypal.com/affil/pal=treadway@.com

I sent the guy an email, just to see if he was serious. This is what he replied with:
Yeah, the add is serious. I didn't actually write the description, my boss
did. the rust in the front pan isn't really rust. When I opened it, it was
full of dead leaves and I had to clean those out as best as I could. there
is some water damage but nothing that a steel brush couldn't take care of.

The rust in the front pan isn't really rust??? Huh?? On the plus side, I got a very prompt response. it only took him about 15 mins to reply.

we should get everyone on 914world.com to start a bidding frenzy and raise the price to about $100k.

Sorry to those that don't like the AA bashing, but I think I'm gonna pee my pants... Check this bute out:

http://autoatlanta.com/carsearchinclude2.l...ber=299&-search

Come on! I need to start selling some cars again.........

AA is truly insane.

Spoof or not, I laughed till I fell out of my chair!!!
Looks like someone at AA lost the "I'm dumber than you are" bet. By the way, who made them the "914 world headquarters?

CC

$3950 for that!! Damn, you can find 912Es up here all together and nice for that price around the NW.

That's a $300 project car.


Geoff

infirm inlaws, lost hobby space, bull shit. the wife told him get that peice of crap out of here . guess he sheetrocked the garage. do you think aa can supply non-exisistant h.e.'s for a reasonable price? the fire must have done wonders for ALL the body panels. scraping the barrel down south these days.

kevin

I also sent an e-mail asking if he didn't accidently post the wrong pics. this is what I got back...

"Yeah, those are the correct photos. The front fender on the passenger side is damaged and will need to be repaired. The car does run great, it starts quicker than most of the other ones I've driven."

parker@autoatlanta.com

This shit is unbelievable. It even says in the add that one of the "rods is bad." The engine needs to be rebuilt. I'll give them $50.



-Mike D.

so what if the rod is bad. it runs GREAT, starts quicker... . like he had a stop watch for when he turned the key. did you pretend you knew nothing about porsche's? if i knew how to do it i would send him a link to this topic.

kevin

I could tell from the pictures it was in AA's parking lot and the car was in Marritta Ga.

Buyer beware...

Paul

LOL.

Naaaaaaa, they pretty much take care of that by themselves...

What is CSOBOSC?

Very exclusive, non-elitists group. Extremely hard to join, the requirements are somewhat genetic. I know there are both CSOBOMA and CSOBONC chapters as well. Kind of like Fight Club, but no violence and a lot of Pick a Parts involved.

No Habla Espanol! huh?

You forgot CSOBOKS....

-Rusty
not just a member, but a chapter founder

By looking at your conversion project, ya don't need to worry too much about it, ya aren't going to be accepted!

C heap
SOB (you can figure that one out...)

If I remember correctly, there are 6 founding members...

Well fine. I just founded STMFMOMC!

Spending too much f-ing money on my car!

That was pretty funny, Andy!

If that car gets any bids, I'm going to list the two pieces of the 72 that I have up at the farm. I'll even bolt the doors back on.....Shipping will be cheap, two pallets should do.

Hey, I have one of those in my back yard as well!

Maybe we can work out a two for one deal.
Or is that 4 halfs for one?

Mmm, interesting perspective to see this as a light restoration. Makes me curious to what is considered to be a major restoration. Welding a new 914 out of tin cans perhaps?

I didn't realize the temperature gets that high in Georgia. Someone is definitely suffering from heat stroke.

Tod, I dont think that guy is sniffing glue...its something more serious...like paintchips...
Wow, that car is frightening...some poor sap will go online and be wow!! lookee heere I can get a pooorscha ral cheap. People frighten me.
Jared

Only a moron would bid on that car after looking at the rest of them in that price range. I also emailed the guy and asked"is this for real or have you lost your frigging mind?" No response!!!! Imagine that

I think George might be testing this "parkerautoatlanta" guy to see if he can pawn off a $300 basketcase for $2.5K; you know, like Gordon Gecko in "Wall Street."

If someone buys that box-of-rocks, than Treadway gets shoved over to "Receiving" and parkerautoatlanta gets the desk with the shop light over it.

I sent this message to the seller 2 days ago and have not yet gotten a reply:
Your ad says "totally rust free" There is lots of rust in the photos. Were these the wrong
photos? a different car than the ad describes? what is going on near the rear trunk lock? Do
all the missing pieces (passenger seat cusion, headlight covers, left side marker, carpet, fog
light grill to name just a few) come with the car?
Still 0 bids. what a shock!

What a piece of shit!

I think the Olympic blue is kind of nice..... but rust as a second tone is not practical.

I think I'd pay more for the steering wheel than for the rest of the car.

Sorry.... I had to do it...... I sent the owner a link to this forum....LOL
