Check it out below, another stealer jumping on the water cooled never never wagon,
however unlike most stealer he cant even be bothered to clean the foot wells in
his car, never mind the fact that seats look like they have done double those
miles and a quick rub down and redye would have improved no he cant even be bothered
to take a damp rag over the steering cowling, bugger it lets just get it on an ask
a bloody fortune mind, to hell with building any real appeal in the car. It gets on
my wick, I don't mind people asking good money for something that they have loved
and cherished as I feel I am actually buying into something...My Porsche never has
dust on it like that and dust does not make a bad car but its all about the experience,
and that does nothing for me, he can half the price as far as I am concerned.....
Not even bothered to clean the alloys which are covered in carbon, " Full MO30 Koni
Suspension setup " And that wont be slapped right out after 3 decades of use.
Low owners, low miles, poorly presented, get the plates of it, clean it right,
picture it right, market it right, total muppetry on full throttle, stick to cars that
blow up which the Stag is famous for...........

Maybe a bit harsh though does get my back up, pure speculation, knows
nothing of the care these cars deserve...

No I read it but you didn't link to the car you were ranting about, which left it all a little pointless.

Oh and if you used paragraphs it would be an easier read .

Prep aside, that looks like a lovely genuine 944 turbo. The usual caveats apply of course.

Comedy price though.

Well that is just it, it does albeit 8k over the odds, however its nice to see
people make huge effort and really try, I mean I know we all
put our own stamp on them when its our car, but the notion that one can
just pull it out the garage with no prep and ask bombs is alien to me..
As a dealer one would have thought that the principle of having the car at
its utter best first time around would have bene foremost to establish the
strongest impression, instead this is the start of its legacy

That's a lot easier on the eyes, and yes I agree the prep on the car looks poor and it's well overpriced.

I don't like the odometer on it either, it does not line up, don't be fooled with the chat
that as it just about to turn 75k that its all adjusting, that's bullst, the 7
and the 4 should stay static. And those seats, to me having cut my teeth on 944s
its as if they don't belong with that car, in fact the door cards and interior are
not marrying up at all, more muppetry and a total indifference no doubt to it

Bang on, and it isn't no popularity contest with these guys, I have a few dealers as friends,
and they are f**k merchants pure and simple, that is what they do, be under no illusion,
sure appearing to give good service is fine but rarely do they pull it off. However,
they do get the cars like a joiner gets the wood or a butcher the meat, because when we are all busy
doing our jobs they are sneaking about with all their spare time at their disposal
sourcing the means to f**k you harder. So I get real pissed of when they cannot even be bothered to
hide it a bit.....

On this occasion moose, I couldn't agree more.

I always say, buy the car not the salesman. When the salesman talks, cover your ears.

Appraise the CAR! But no, everyone is obsessed with finding a dealer that they like and trust.

Guess what? Great dealers buy bad cars and stheads buy good ones sometimes!
