ugh, people do stupid things to cars...
so i'm browsing ebay for the hell of it and i stumble across this low mileage 97 WS6 and decide to take a look at it. i found a few things that just make me want to :facepalm:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1997-...663a8fb3#v4-43
first i notice the stupid bumper sticker and then wait a minute, what the hell are those V6 taillights doing there?
then i'm looking at a pic of under the hood and something doesn't look right.....could it be? why it is! they have managed to glue the hood seal on the airbox on upside down :wtf:
now i suppose those are minor things, but still, if you're gonna ask $12k for that car, at least have the correct parts and have them installed the right way.

how can you tell they aren't on the hood? didn't they just put a second sticker on the hood and just leave the one on the radiator cover in place? my car isn't a real WS6 so i don't know about that. i just have the stickers on the radiator cover.

Lol...yeeeeah...about that price. Since its a dealer and all they want to talk about is book values; they are over priced by $2300 by KBB standards. Aside from some minor stuff it looks to be a nice ride, but over priced for damn sure. Granted, thats just part of a dealers strategy...lol. "Sure, I talked to my manager and he said we can give you $700 for your trade in and knock $900 of the retail price. Its your lucky day pal, your getting a DEAL."

the car the OP posted has issues and i wouldn't touch it if i were still looking.. that is for sure. i also paid $4k less for a much better car and less miles.
