Hmmm. Didn't notice that. Perhaps seller changed their mind or found a buyer apart from ebay.

i actually bought it for $70 and used the other $20 for mods... on a serious note the buyer may have found a buyer outside of ebay or someone realized the vin pulls up a 2008 GT2

RonM5 is infamous around these parts
The car looks like it was bought during a tour of duty in UK then shipped back to the US. Reserve is around $85 - 90. Is this reasonable buying apart from the fact it is RHD ?

Not being a resident from the US, what would be the first check I could do to make sure that the sale is genuine?

Cheers
Ron

I asked a question from the seller in the newer eBay listing and that was his response; reserve $85 but would like $90. Last eBay auction stopped - could that be because he wanted to raise the reserve? Just checked new listing again
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
seems that the price is now at $80k but the bidding history looks dodgy or set up.

His last reserve was at $70k and he accepted my offer of $80K before I posted this thread. I asked for his contact info. and he pretty much didn't reply.

The bidding is also sketchy with the guy with a negative raising the price. Also, carfax/autocheck pulls up a 08 GT2 with that vin...

He informed me the car was registered and titled in the US if that clears anything up

OK ... things are looking dubious.

This is his reply to why it is RHD ...
"Car was Bought in Europe while on a tour of duty spent 18 months out there and was based in UK for 10 months and Germany for the rest of the time. I had never driven a RHD till then so order my car in that format I guess at the time it was a noveltiy....LOL"

And to the question on why is the VIN different ...
"The Vin is a euro vin not reconised by ebay so it wont allow me to enter the correct one..Hence I used a Vin supplied by the Porsche dealership"

Any other questions we want to ask him why he (or she) is in replying mode ...
