The bids as of today are below $5000 and the mileage is stated as 134,662. I ran a CarFax for grins and it is flagged for an odometer rollback. reported mileage by a Massachusetts inspection station 9/25/2003-153,574; 3/1/2004 159,723; 10/14/2004 166,776; 10/30/2006 190,735. Then on 10/5/2007 it was recorded another Mass. inspection station as 118,623. If you're bidding on this one, beware, do some homework!

Can this happen if there was an engine replacement? I haven't checked the ad out yet.....

I'm sort of assuming this guy isn't a member of the Forum. Imagine his chagrin if and when he finds out we immediately warn at least our group of some material discrepancies in his attempt to sell his 968. Seems like a poster type reason to become a forums member!

With a big hat tip to him, I copied Paulzebo's warning over on RL as well.

The exterior and interior with the grey scribe seats looks like Richard's car but it isn't he had sport seats. Glad us forum members are watching out for this kind of stuff it helps every one.

$6400 is not a total wasted purchase. If he "parts it out" that amount can easily be recouped. It just would take some time...
