    Then we can agree to disagree on the "duty" of this board. If someone had posted this car as a "Hey, what do you guys think of this one, should I buy it?" Then advice is requested and would be expected. But dragging various ads in from other sources to dissect and flame here has become an all too regular occurence for me. I guess I did get lucky over the year I searched for my 911E. The half dozen cars I drove were in fact almost exactly as each seller had described.

I appreciate all the input from the truely knowledgeable and honest people here.
    It took me six months to find my car.

    I looked at least 25 cars in that period of time most nowhere near how they were represented in the ads. And that was in 1982...
