Yes, but it's always good to look at the ad again.  Thanks!  :)

The seller that goes under the "911r" name on BaT is very popular because of products, photography and videos. Every listing they put up comes with a "test drive" by "North-West Stig" on public roads. Not always law-abiding, even took a race car to the streets, but always entertaining!

No wonder it sold for so much, basically brand new.

A friend has the M version, he says it's a hooligan car, goes sideways a lot.  He also has a Cayman GTS, he refers to it as a precise surgical tool in comparison.

2005 Chrysler Sebring Touring, 2.7 V6.  Spent the first year of its life in BC as a lease.  Came to Manitoba in Fall 2006.  No visible rust in the usual spots.

I'd offer $2500.  Still a great looking car.  Fight me.   :rofl2:

I agree...and an 18k rebuild and a $10k stereo...you're only paying $1500 for the car!  He can have the stereo if I can get the car for $19,000  ;D
