No need to double post or lie. It's obviously your car since you and the seller are both from NY and your usernames both end in "dip". Not to mention that you have photos of it in your gallery. Nice car though, what exactly does the euro spec m42 entail? More HP, emissions, is it legal? Good luck with the sale!

BTW, it's not a 2.8L. What's a "cabinet filter" or a "hammer stand"? I gaurantee there's more than 3 Ti's without sunroofs rolling around and I'm curious about the euro spec motor and tranny. Is it different than ours? You might want to fix your listing. Congrats on the newborn!

PS the airbag light is more than likely on because of the seatbelt

the inconsistencies are as follows

Colour is black on tis sheet, not blue as seller states

Roof IS with sliding sunroof option, not as shown in the sellers advertisment

The car was produced for the USA market, not euro as stated on seller advertisment.

If the chassisnumber is correct then the shell has beeen drasticaly altered, or the most likely is ,

the original car is now dead, and the parts have been reshelled into another ti body , sporting the old chassis number

BUYER BEWARE!!

Dang I was outbid. I was hoping that my penny would hold up for atleast a day. I wonder if we should tell the other bidders about our findings. The typos and other inaccuracies could have been looked past as common mistakes, but Mallard's findings revealed some serious BS! Here's a couple more interesting bits:

Looks like the wrecked silver one was a '95, I wonder what the VIN# was on that one.

Well, perhaps it would have if you hadn't mentioned it here? LOL I was tempted to bid just for the heck of it, but didn't feel like logging in to E-bay.
