Andrew it would not surprise me if they did. They still owe me my books and spare keys.

.oh year and they sold me my car as a challenge car not a TS just because the guy before put the challenge decall on the backlid.

go figure!

Dave, I didn't typo the 10K, I put the comma in there to separate the zeros. I DO note that they corrected the add. Maybe a Ferrarichat member works at this place?

I believe that in regular conversation, i.e. online chat like here, some typos are acceptable, and will happen, but a business that goofs that much may not be doing the best of jobs. Would we want them to do a 30K on this car?

Anyone ever hear about Van Halen and the brown M&Ms'? Band would have contract with venues and deep inside the fine print they had one clause that said there would be a bowl of M&M's on the table in their dressing room, but with NO brown ones. Sounds prissy, but they used it as a tactic to quickly see if the promoters read the fine print.

maybe its listed as a G7A so that if you win the auction and you pay for it you will get a not a 456GTA but a 4567A which would be a completly different car.

Thoughts?

Since I have a weakness typing, I think it means this she/ man can not type (or read...they may be able to do mathematics though). It may also mean they do not have a secretary to type their Internet replies and all for them. Could also mean they are smoking, drinking, applying makeup and eating while typing just as they do when driving their Peugeot.

Add says it's a "456G7A". One error, I'd say sloppy editing, but everywhere in the add it's listed the same. I would be wary of someone selling a $10,000 car who is this sloppy, much less this beauty! Seems that the seller (dealer) doesn't pay much attention to what they're selling.
