I bought my 986 on ebay as well as two boats. All transactions were flawless. Just remember, there are no consequenses to you saying no if something was not represented clearly. Treat it like you would a typical sale. Get it checked out, inspect the car, and buy it if it is what you expected.

If you get there and the guy confesses that there is an oil leak, the check engine light is on, and the engine runs hot... you do not need to buy it.

I bought my '01S off ebay. Drove down to look at it. Looked it over inside/out/under. Drove it. Perfect. Bought it, no ppi. 6 months later perfect.

Funny story, but hope you don't end up sleeping in that thing, november and all. Interesting wheels. Who makes 'em?

Too funny!! What a great story. Wish I had the b-lls. Bought my '01 S on ebay this summer. Best purchase I ever made. I love the car. When i"m not driving it, I'm either waxing it, sitting in it in my garage, or on this web site(getting talked into buying a newer one). Thank God my wife is(almost) as in love with it as I am. Yesterday I passed a hook and ladder firetruck and the driver turned on his megaphone and yelled "nice car". Same thing happens everytime I pull into a gas station. People love 'em!!!

Nice Car!
^ And people do love them. I always have people at the gas station asking me why I am putting gas in the front, and were the engine is.

A funny story is when I was getting in my old 986 with a bunch of teenage girls parked right next to it. They all commented on the car and how they thought it was beautiful, like me! I though Chris Hanson from To Catch a Predator was going to pop out! I smiled, said thanks, and drove away...Sorry Chris, no story here

Looks like RUFF Racing 280 series 18's to me, check 'em out here

Wife is a-okay with the whole deal, looks like I'm in the clear!
