Question How many times are they going to sell this FB on Ebay?

Hey people..

This is the 3rd time I have seen this car for sale on Ebay.

Must be junk if it keeps getting resold...

I bought my car in January, and this car was for sale...but had the purple-ish chameleon paint.

I specifically remember it because of the odd hood scoop and lack of full circle exhaust holes - since I have the same kit.

Now, it's been painted black.

$4000 plus for a high mileage, heavily altered 7 that doesn't run? I doubt that it will sell even once at that price.

What a great way to shamelessly plug your own options...

I wouldn't pay $4000 for that thing.

If you are going to put that much money in the car, fix up the damn interior.

It says in the auction that it runs well, but needs to be tuned... i don't know, but i'd pay $2500 for that car if it was decently fast.

Is it me, or is there no evidence of an exhaust system and no air filter on the turbo. Not a bad car, but the front air dam must go. I hate the curvy kind. (no offence Cody) Oh well, to each his own.

The car has potential, It's just that all the upgrades seem to be rigged, instead of properly done.



It needs to be broken down, and rebuilt properly.

IIRC, there used to be a large fart can looking exhaust on the car. That's my guess why they did away with the porthole in the original design of the rear valence.

In the first auction, when the car was purple, it ran fine. Sounds like this guy broke it.
