Actually this car and these comments are symptomatic of some of the best deals you'll find on e-bay or Craig's list. The ad''s so bad so you KNOW no one else will be talking with him, meaning you're going to be one of very few (or only) potential buyers. Ask specific questions, get answers, and decide if it's worth a visit. If not no problem, a few minutes invested, nothing more. But if it's one of those rare overlooked gems YOU have all the leverage and can make the deal you want.

And no, I'm not talking about this car specifically, just a general comment.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) That is exactly how I bought my 968 on a semi-crappy CL ad, though it got better after he updated it. The other factor was the seller of my 968 lived in BFE in southwest Utah. Ended up paying something like 50-60% of the going rate for 968s at the time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) Very few interests and his insistence on certain aspects of money transactions gave me some serious bargaining room. Ya never know!
