First one I've seen that comes w/chrome bumpers, bed liner and a brush gaurd, along with other equipment that makes it sound like....ummm....a truck?

But it's the new dash that really caught my eye. Hmmmm.......

But to be fair, the car IS in very nice condition cosmetically. Just maybe not worth the price he's asking. It LOOKS more like 38,000 instead of 138,000.

What?!?! Magnesium alloy chrome wheels? Ok, and what about "inside hood release" and digital instruments?

EDIT: 5-speed brand new clutch?? Wonder what that might look like.....

I liked the picture of the gauges with the oil idiot light on. (can't tell from the picture if the car is running)

4 outlet exhaust!

Disconnected after market cruise control?

I'd say the last owner was a 20 year old.

He insists there is no dash cap but rather a brand new dash. I'm looking closer at the pictures and it sure looks like a cap to me. Especially around the speaker and near the steering column.

The carpet looks brand new though.

Yeah, 951 money. Maybe even early 928 money.

Not too optimistic about his chances of selling it but hey, gotta' start somewhere, right?

Looks like a $2500 car to me if it runs...

I would be cautious when considering any car being sold by a third party by guilds the lily to this degree.

It is obvious that this car is not the creampuff the Seller claims it is.

The dashcap that the Seller claims is a new dashboard is a prime example.

the description definitely looks like it was entered quickly and without much thought by a sales clerk at the dealer...how else could the car have a club cab AND a crew cab?

and in terms of the modifications, I personally would pay more for a car that had the shitty sony stuff ripped out. Even if they left the wires in place, I wouldn't care....that sub box looks ridiculous and would be an invitation to burglars and low lifes to smash into the car

Khal would only drink a Fosters if it was the only thing left.

That's a Crownie in his hand (Crown Lager).

So Kahl, how is that Crown Lager? Is it a strong flavorful beer, or more of a light beer like Fosters? I'm sitting here drinking a Coors Winterfest right now. I like the strong hoppy beers, so I stock up on Winterfest during the two months of the year that Coors makes it. When my stock runs out, I switch to Killians.

It's one of the better "generic" lagers. Certainly not bad but I wouldn't claim it's the best.

Fosters is pretty ordinary. No-one down here actually drinks it!

I've been diggin' on the Pils lately. And one of my German mates gave me some wheat beer, which I didn't mind (can't remember the name).

But hey, beer's beer! It's all good!

BTW, we went out to a local pub for St. Pat's day... and they didn't have Guinness!
I thought that was pretty poor form.

in the other picture you can see the tach and the car is off. I hope it is still off in that picture!
