Default interesting finds on ebay

Ever wondered what an sc looks like with cheesey wheels and whitewalls?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2423827226

I am ashamed to say this is located where I live. I'm just glad I haven't had to see it in person driving around b/c I think I would have had to really try hard to not puke.

What about an sc with this $395 body kit? I checked intellexual.net and this wasn't even listed.
Rich, you may or may not want to add this to your site

first link:

All vehicles we offer for auction have clean and clear titles (No Salvage title / No Flood title, No Reconstructed title, and No Theft Recovery title).
Then why is it a '94 with a non factory color scheme and a late '95 RED Speedometer cluster in it?
(don't tell me he swapped the needle's it is impossible)

edit: you can see the orange peel in the paint in the supersized image of the wheel on the bottom.

If I'm not mistaken, I think OK is one of the states where you can buy a salvage title, restore it, and then make it a clean title again. I wish they would do away with that dumb law (and about 100 other ones that are exclusive to OK).

I found an interesting find on ebay the other day, JDM folding mirrors, I didn't bid on them, but they are cool... I would have given them some thought if I knew anything about automotive wireing and how I could make them work.

I saw those folding mirrors and thought they looked just like our mirrors except the driver side has a defroster. Over here, that would be the passenger side.

We have heated mirrors, and they come on with the front defroster.

I have seen the JDM power folders in action. Very nice feature. They also have a defroster, but it is a different kind than we have. If I knew more about how it works, I would explain it. Maybe someone here with a Soarer will fill us in.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think a new paint job would constitute a bad title of any form. I would say that color is "different", but different people have different preferences.

I don't think I'd ever buy a car from a guy named "Sergio Chavez" it be like playing pool against a guy named Joe Oklahoma or Dallas Missouri.

As for peoples taste I don't think many people's could account for that color!

I don't think you understand what we are saying. We think the car may have been in a wreck and then repainted. We're not saying that repainting it gave it a salvage title.

Thumbs down

I don't care if it's been wrecked or not, you won't find this boy behind the wheel of a LEXUS with overspray on the trim/molding. And I don't know about you guys, but I could see that car in my peripheral vision and know that it's not a factory color which, IMO, is in bad taste.
