Re: Porsche for sale of the day..........
Yeah.
I guess this is why lawyers end up the only winners. They could spend a long time arguing over whether prefacing the comment with that is enough for a reader to infer that ‘It's going to be another 15,000 to spend to finish the job properly’ is a statement of opinion rather than fact.
But it is just plain wrong to say you should replace barrels and pistons even if they are within tolerance just because ‘they won’t last forever’.

I agree it should but it's notoriously difficult to prove your losses, which you have to do in order to sue for them.Sam wrote:I’m sure not, but maybe it should. The writer and CC could cost the seller and engine builder [tens of?] thousands by publishing a claim that the engine wasn’t rebuilt properly if it was.
You will always get the derampers - bitter they can't afford the car and can't accept it's out of their reach.

Been watching this 993 on CC. It always feels that the seller's answers don't quite manage to answer the questions. I think I saw it at Centre Gravity a few years ago. Didn't look too closely, but looked good from the outside.

£200k car + £150k mods = maybe £130k? I love it. Imagine shredding away from the pub car park in that.
