Looking for Spec Boxster, hope for a trade?
 
All:
I'm thinking it might be time to move to a real spec boxster. I'm having a blast with my Boxster S, and I'll really hate to part with it, but I need to make the next step and I need a Non-S for that.

I'd be VERY happy if there were someone looking to go the OTHER way, for whatever reason.
My modified (Fantastic HPDE / TT car) can be seen here:
http://986forum.com/forums/boxsters-cayman-cars-sale-wanted/77645-maytags-modified-03-s-sale.html

I'm interested in interesting ideas including cash and trades, full race cars or projects, what-have-you.

Hit me! :dance:

Hey Maytag, did you notice that jamesparker4 seems to have everything that everyone in the classifieds is looking for? 'Just message him.'

Yup, I did. We're engaged in the beginning of a dialog.... and i broached the topic with my wife this evening over ice cream. ;-)

(That's her sister in the background, in from Seattle, had to see how Mormons eat ice cream)

Does anybody here KNOW JamesParker4? I'm getting some really odd, seemingly-shady-activity vibes from him right now. There MIGHT be other explanations for the behavior, so I'm allowing for that, and simply asking if anyone here knows him or has any experience with him?

maytag 08-04-2020 11:05 AM

ok; DEFINITELY shady.

Unless Jamesparker4 would like to defend himself here, (which I'd prefer he do so I don't have to keep thinking bad things about him) I'm going to warn other forum members away from him altogether.

Again; if he can demonstrate a reasonable explanation for his behavior over private messages, then I'll retract this altogether. But right now I don't see a plausible explanation that would make me feel like he isn't looking to prey on the unsuspecting forum members here.

EYES-WIDE-OPEN.

So Disappointing.

James, I see you melting-down on another guy's thread. let's keep this on my thread. I can always start another.

I've been clear; if you can demonstrate to me either here in public or via PM's that you are NOT a scammer, then I'll happily retract my statements.
So that you can address this directly, here's my 'accusation', in a nutshell;

I think you joined this forum just a couple of days ago, just like you did the Dodge Neon Forum and a couple others, and now magically have one of everything that everyone is looking for. This would be great, except:

Here is the image you sent to me:
http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1596570132.jpg

You sent his with an asking price of $20k, and ZERO description. So when I ASKED you for a description, and what has been done to it, you responded with (and I quote) "Everything has been done to it"

When I asked you some specifics, this is what you sent to me:
Details about it
2.7L H.6 engine
6-sos man w/OD transmission
265@6,700 rpm torque
Rear wheel drive type
ABS and driveline traction control
18”silver aluminum wheels
Front air conditioning manual
Am/Fm/satellite-prep,seek-scan radio
2-1st row LCD monitor
Keyfob(all doors)remote keyless entry
Front and rear fog/driving lights
Heated mirrors
Power convertible top


Now, perhaps you're not internet savvy, and so this can be overlooked. But the description you sent of this car does not match the car's image, NOR is what you described in any fashion a Spec Boxster.

So, Please, explain to us how this isn't a scam where you're pulling stock images off of the internet, hoping someone will send you money, and then you disappear with it?

I'm all ears.

I told you it’s a mistake then I send you the real details you can check it

I see the additional "details".

I'l tell ya what; you send me a photo of the interior of the car, with your smiling face (or middle-finger in the photo, I don't care which) and then I'll retract my suspicions.

I'm frankly encouraged that you're suddenly responding with some regularity. I hope that I've got you all wrong.

It looks like Mormons eat ice cream like Mormons have kids!

(I hope I haven't offended anyone, I have relatives that are Mormons in Utah, and they joke about all their kids so I'm hoping nobody will get spun up!).

You have no idea.....
Sometimes we use the kids to get more ice cream..... and sometimes vice versa.

Are you strictly looking for West Coast cars? I know of a couple for sale here in the North East, and heck I'm of the belief that everything is always for sale so I'd throw mine in the mix as well. Proven front runner with full data, needs nothing

esc 08-07-2020 02:38 PM

He has one of everything, description doesn't match the photo. Ask for more photos and pulls another photo that doesn't match the first.

And is yours up for an interesting trade? ;-)

I'll be shipping regardless of where I buy (not many available in Utah), so I'm not hung-up on where I'm shipping FROM.

Probably not, as I already have a DD Cayman that I’d likely build into an SPC, but shoot me a PM and we can exchange email/phone to discuss more if you’d like.

It's a scam. That is a photo of a BSR build by Patrick Motorsports. The photo can be found through a Google image search of "spec boxster build".
