I like how they say "painted black 96... one of a kind."
Yeah this whole deal sounds funny, right down to the # of miles on it.
Here is how my e-mail to the seller went:
I asked:
"Since this vehicle has not had the 998 recall or the oxygen sensor rewiring done how do you propose to accomplish them? Would that be at the purchasers expense? Both are extremely important since one is safety related and the other is federal emissions related? Also, why exactly was this vehicle repainted?"
They Replied:
Hello, The vehicle was owed buy a very wealthy man he had it painted with zero miles on it.he wanted a black one and this guy gets what he wants. as far as the recall. We can take car of any recalls. Thanks, Eric
Then I sent a more pointed question:
Thanks very much for the reply Eric.
My question about the recall was more towards whose responsibility would it is to pay for them, since I’m not a “VERY WEALTHY MAN”.
The factory would have picked up the recalls but since its long out of warranty then I assume someone will have to pay for them.
I guess I am looking for a more direct reply that “we can take care of them”. I can take care of them but it would cost me. If you take care of them is it going to cost me?
Also, what is that thing on the side of the hood under the red Viper logo and can it be taken off? Is it vinyl or painted on?
I have not received a reply even after I sent a second e-mail.
The old epression "Buyer beware" is always appropriate when dealing with E-Bay.
