Maybe his car looks exactly like yours and he used your picture out of being too lazy to take his own? Not saying that it's the right thing to do by any means, but he isn't trying to pass it on as a SC470TT...and he does state the car has factory wheels and not the aftermarket ones that are in the pic. Not trying to defend this dude because that's a messed up thing to do. Either way, I'd ask him to remove that picture and post one of the actual car.

That is truly unreal! Right down to the car reflection and trees in the background. I would email EBAY and tell them what he's doing. Or contact the seller yourself. Tell him your going to sue his dumb azz.

NOTE: Car has stock chrome wheels and NOT the aftermarket wheels shown in picture. ONLY KNOWN FLAWS are minor cosmetic scuffs/scratches...less than average for age, slight blistering of chrome on rims which is unavoidable on chrome wheels this age, one quarter sized ding that is virtually undetectable except under close scrutiny, one rear speaker may be inoperable (can hardly tell as car has so many speakers), I can arrange for pics of all tiny defects to serious buyers.


Nothing about the kit. LOL

No one is even going to buy it anyways! 12k for a 93, are you kidding!!! Even 9.5k is still way too much.

Thanks for the heads up. I wonder what the seller was thinking. He's even got a VIN number and a little story to go along with it. People like this guy belong behind bars.

Now speaking of an SC470, how about a full feature thread on it! I haven't heard of anyone going this extreme on an SC4 in a while. There is a guy who lives about 10 mins from where I live with an SC490 that had come out a few years ago but haven't seen it since.
