Looks like a scam to me

Took the time to read the entire thing then looked at the pics. If you are going to post random pics, make sure the wheels match. And if the pix says a car lot in newark nj, and you are in dayton ohio it is a dead give away.

Best way to determine if its a scam...

Ask him for a phone number. Scammers can't do impromptu BS.

the photos are stock photos from online somewhere, nobody watermarks CL photos, plus they're all different.

Either way, I wouldn't buy from him on principle.

-bumber
-dose have back seat
-preformance clutch
-exaust system
-holy heaven, he spelled brakes right.
-sway bars don't make cars drive straighter, even if straighter was a real word...
-3x more doses

I could go on.

I agree ryan I would never buy it anyway, but too much fun not to pass along. Super k, missed the non airbags. Good catch.

my 94 RS doesn't have airbags either, but i guess you ment that it's a 4 point steering wheel that doesn't have airbags, it also has what looks to be a eunos symbol

Which other countries got that style of dashboard? I know the Euro guys want the US 94+ dash for the vent holes for gauges. The one thing I see is the lack of passenger side airbag, but it could be a custom job still. As for the steering wheel, could be a lucky import, you never know...

It sounds weird to me, and the CEL makes me laugh :lol: Show a picture of it, but don't explain it :lol: Smart move.

Oh and Ryan, this is for you: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/straighter I didn't think it was either, but I've been surprised before so I checked a few pages :lol:

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Duh those aren't his pictures, guys.

Really, you think he owns "GTcarlot.com" and "MundoAnunico" and this stock picture from the first page of a google search for "MX-3 dash"

http://www.mx-3.com/interior/dash94-98-01.jpg

Note the MX-3.com URL....



And even through straighter is in the dictionary, doesn't make it a real word.

My Eng Tech Com prof told me I can start a sentence with "And". Doesn't make it right. Straighter falls in the same category as deader in my books.

his ignition would simply be "on" without the car started. Its normal for the CEL to stay on (only in some models it seems)

I think the URLs under the images are a pretty good giveaway, It is kinda funny that we all look past that at what's actually in the picture. :lol:

As for "real words", they came from somewhere :lol: Ever try having a conversation with your great grandfather? I'd bet my a-- you define more than a few words differently :lol:
