Why do people lie about their RX-7 on ebay. 10th Anniversary Convertible

It's not even crystal white.
That punk! stole 10ae badges. Slapped em on a vert.
And wtf, he'll toss in a turbo if the auction goes high enough. For what? A hood ornament.
And don't N/As have a 140 (i think it actually goes to 150 but highest marked is 140) speedometer.
He doesn't mention anything about it actually being a turbo vert, except for the title which I assume he means his "free" turbo he will toss in....Sweet hood ornament

I saw a 10th anniversary on AutoTrader listed as a 6 cylinder turbo, they also said it had dual turbo. I think I will really call them today. Tell their asses better.

That vert is an 88 right? Well, bucko there has put an 89-91 cluster in it, so now the mileage is wrong too.

What a turd burgler.

without seeing engine pics, I'm not sure, but if it's a vert and he spent that money on making it look like what it isn't, I'm assuming it's NOT turbo. However, you can get a free turbo if the auction feaches $6300. Nice Touch jagass. I really need to email this stupid **** and see what the hell the real story with the car is.

The only thing on that car from '88 is the nose, which is missing the FTP lenses.

It's probably a wrecked and rebuilt car. I bet the build date is late '88, so he thinks it's an '88 instead of an '89 which it most likely is.

What a pickle smoker!

Well, apparently this car is an 88, it is.
He put 89+ tail lights on
He put 89+ gauge cluster
He put a TII hood on- It's obviously not a turbo though- no boost gauge on the cluster.
I hope someone doesn't think it has an 8000 rpm redline- like the cluster says... that will really mess things up!!

He put 10AE badges on (ghetto)

OK- It actually a really nice car!
Too bad he is trying to pass it off as a 10AEvertII!!!
Most people why buy 7's know what they are talking about... they should know that it's a cosmetic frankencar.

But it is a nice car! (exept for the different window tints)

i know there was a guy by me who had a black vert that he was doing a T2 swap in, but i never saw the car. I doubt it is the same guy, but we'll see.
