That must be BS. There was a guy in the UK that had my Supra up for sale a ton of times. I could necer get him caught. Look closely at the ad. They always get something wrong. they say tranny is auto. :lol They also scanned all pictures from the magazine. If he was going to sell his car he would have better high res digital pics for sure.

What they do is go on cardomanin, google for other sites, car forums and all that. They copy pictures and text about the car exactly. That is why it looks like he wrote it. One of the problems with so much available personal information. Anyone can copy it and use it. I bet he wants a deposit and then he will send ship the car...if you like it then you send the rest of the money. That is how he scams people out of a couple thousand for each auction. He uses a fake escrow company or has you send a personal wire transfer so it can't be traced.

If its BS...that guy did a hell of a job making the thing up. Its very well documented. He even has adam's email address and all...actually seems real. Thats a really nice car, shame he's selling it.

I remember a thread talking about a way to have a manual look with auto but you have to be very careful not to touch it once in drive cause you could easily click it right up into reverse. Not sure if he did this or not.

we all have things pop up in life where we are forced to sell something we don't want to....i've come close a few times myself

not sure if this is the case or not but I'm sure Adam will chime in.

You are right, he had one, he might still and only has the manual "look". Or he might have swapped since that was 3+ years ago. This could possibly be legit. It is pretty common with these guys over the last year or so. They finish the car, nothing else to mod, so they sell it. :dunno

Yup. It is an automatic. I remember that from a long time ago. Good luck finding a picture of his pedals. Also, I have not heard him on here in a long time either. I guess he is going in another direction.

That would be sick. Hope he goes turbo next time. maybe e90 with custom turbo kit or e60 with custom turbo kit. :drool:

I just emailed my friend about this car. He might buy it if the price doesn't keep going way up. That would be cool if we could cruise along the coast side-by -side. :thumbup: Some nice video opps. :devillook

How is the car CA smog legal? AA's S/C kit isnt CARB certified, is it? I thought only Dinan.

It is not smog legal. Nothing that AA does is, but I guess if they don't care about visual and you have cats, it can pass.

So one needs to buy this car and turbocharge it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wonder how much he will get for it ? $30k-40k

if it doesn't pass the visual, the car isn't smog legal then, it only passed a sniffer test.

Hi everyone,
I must say the add is true. I am still debating on weather to sell it or not.
But I do want to move on me and the Mrs. are thinking of having a little M-crazy soon. So we have to think practically :)

Pratical Thinking: Sell it, cop an e39 M5 so you can use a child seat.










THEN START MODDING! :buttrock
