what are those knobs for?
 
On ebay there is a 1985 rx7 gsl-se with 11000 miles on the damed thing. If you look at one of the pics its got these nobs on the front bumper... anyone know what the heck there for? I never seen them before?

haven't seen the picture , but probably washer fluid spayers for the headlights . These were present on canadian cars

I have watched that car and even bid as much as $10,000 but STILL did not meet his reserve. He states he paid $25 K for it new....but must have forgotten that was when Canadian currency was close to 1.5-1 compared to the USD and that we were buying them for $15 K.

LOL Oops sorry...The "nobs" are indeed headlight washers as mentioned in his auction details.

11,000 on the odometer, or on the car?

The seller has stated 17,000 KM in one of the first times it was on auction, and this last time, when the price went up to $9800 (reserve NOT met), the details stated 11,000 miles. I have seen the price go as far as 10,100 and STILL not meet the reserve. I have written him and asked how much he wants to sell this for, with no reply. The thing that concerns ME is that he/she has a zero feedback, and this last time he stated how the paint was bubbled and needs to be painted on the fender and hatch area.

He has had it listed locally for $18 000 - $21 000. He states there is two paint flaws, but he has no pictures of the flaws.

For THAT much, It better not ANY flaws on it ! As soon as I heard rust and bubbled paint at the hatch, I looked elsewhere. I can restore MY car for less in the condition it is now !
LOL
