He says:
1. 3 times that it is an S. However, the 5th digit in the VIN is an A (base).
2. 3 times it's stated that it's a manual trans. Yet pics 4 & 5 clearly show PDK.
3. Twice it's stated that it is a V6. At least he got the size right - 2.9, which also proves it's a base.

His asking price is OK for an S, but way too high for a base.

It's a V6. VERY RARE!

It's one thing to say a car has full leather or bi-xenon when it doesn't, but trying to knowingly foist a base off as an S is another. The guy in my example has painted his calipers red and changed the exhaust tip to a dual, so he seems to be knowingly trying to get S money out of his base. I sent him an email thru the ad and suggested he should correct his verbiage, but obviously nothing has happened. Maybe we should start a 986forum campaign to bomb him with emails.
