I live in Miami and I went to see this car it is the biggest piece of #$%& you have ever seen. The discription is veryyyyyyy deceptive. I want to make sure that nobody gets taken advantage of.

Bill, I appreciate the offer. Will pm you. Wanted to get the posters opinion of the car to see what may have stood out to him.

Only thing I could really see from the pics is that the front stripes appear to be a little off. Other than that it appeared(from the pics) that all the other panels fit pretty good.

I was with Jesse (36rod) when he saw it. It sucked. The bumper was completely out of line, the sidstills were yellow, the door had a big chunk chiped out of it, and the paint was cracked in many places. These are just off the top of my head, its been a month since we looked at it.

Also, they've sold this car three times over on ebay, yet it's still for sale. Don't waste your time.

I don't doubt it's a POS, with two VCA Members looking at it, but it sure looks nice in the pictures. I have also seen it for auction before. I remember because those guys have the worst HTML skills on ebay, and all those stupid animated gifs. What the heck are they thinkin' ?

Agree. I thought those numbers were a little low too. Great color combo though. If you get one JDAWG you will love it. I do.

Mileage doesnt bother me and even some chipped paint or scuffs. Now if body panels are out of line and mechanical issues present then that is a different story.


a car with 43k is gonna have some normal wear on it, but maybe this car is excessive?

I didn't say it wasn't fixable. With about $7000 into it I'm sure it could look good. However, these guys want $43k for this thing. I have seen plenty of nice GTS for that price.

I don't know how the car is mechanically as I didn't bother test driving it. Also, I think the car has been involved in some type for front accident.
