Saw that car about 28 years ago at Bill Holme's shop. And I still have the European Car magazine (or perhaps it was its predecessor, VW & Porsche) where it was featured. ;-)

I think you're probably right.

I don't know that red is the best color for a 2002. So many others that look great.

May I mention that usually, the best cars don't reach BaT ? The nice cars are sold thru clubs and enthusiasts networks. ;-)

Agreed, and I know what car you are referring to.

But when I see comments that are not just negative, but are hailed as fact, regardless of the fact that the commenter has not seen the car, but is instead suggestive, I don't take kindly to them.

I'm all for transparency, but if you track her comments (not that I have, but I'm willing to wager a car over this), the overwhelming majority of hers are negative, anti-modifier, and directed to introduce fear in an otherwise positive auction. I don't understand this mentality. She shows up, creates havoc, then disappears.

I like her as a person, have met her, shook her hand, and generally got along with her. But on the internet, I am not her biggest fan.


None of this matters in the grand scheme of car owner ship or life, but it still irks me once in a while.

Ha, that level of disdain should be applied to just about ALL BAT commenters then (which is fine by me). I seem to have similar convulsions regarding glowing reviews of a car that doesn't stack up as advertised.

Recently looked over a 2002 that sold on BAT. Out of curiosity I went back and looked at the comments during the auction. Tons of glowing reviews, including some from individuals who "proudly" built the car.

In person it was clear the car had been hit. The doors were rusty with uneven body-filler and paint. The engine was leaking from every seal possible. Home-brew SSK was ready to snap off b/c of driveshaft. The exhaust was rusted through. Rust had been shoddily repaired and then seam-sealer heaped over top. The upholstery wrong (only brought up because the listing claimed OEM-original). NONE of this was disclosed during the auction.

In short, nothing replaces a proper PPI, not even another user's well-intentioned "walk-around".
