Rennsport 1987 Ruf BTR 3.5 Slantnose

Holy CRAP!!! I looove this car. GL with the sale man. You are right these cars are widowmakers for sure.

 

Very nice.

 

So the car is actually a 1974? Why is it listed an '87?

 

That's a pretty arrogant way to respond to a very normal question...hope you treat your potential buyers better...

 

+1.....You list it as an 87 but its titled as a 74....careful there

 

Who took a piss in your wheaties today?

 

+1

 

As someone who recently sold a very similary car (74 911 converted to 87 spec), I have to say that your response was way out of line. You're the one that needs a major attitude adjustment.

BTW, I listed mine as a 74 even though it's actually spec'ed as an 87. Avoids the confusion that you apparently despise.

I never asked if the car was a '74 Turbo. I asked why the car would be listed as an '87 if it was a '74.

Oh, thanks for clearing that up! You completely explained it. So if I buy a '99 360 and install an '05 430 engine, bodywork, and wheels, it's now a '05? That's one I missed in my apparent lack of automotive knowledge.

Obviously not nearly as Savvy as you!

Well, welcome to F-chat. And it wasn't a comment, it was a question. Maybe you can look up the definition of that one in your dictionary.

Not if you can't answer a simple question in a public forum where you've advertised the car as an '87.

And paying for Rossa means you can't answer a simple question? I'm not asking about 911 conversions. I never asked if the car was a '74 Turbo. And I certainly didn't ask for an arrogant response. It was you who titled your Ad here (and on a few other forums) "1987 Ruf BTR 3.5 Slantnose". Which is obviously misleading.

But I think your response says enough about the type of seller you are.

Yeah, I think I'll pass.

 

I think you stepped on enough toes here that it's highly unlikely you'll find a buyer after that outburst. I know was intrigued until I saw this post...not even remotely interested now. Best of luck.

 

Have to agree, no need for that type of sarcasm--Just plain rude. Be better to not answer the question at all....There are some who may of been interested in the car, but see a post like that and decide they have no desire to deal with a buyer like that....Merry Christmas

 

And, "that's a wrap, boys & girls. The next shot is in a glass !!!"

Happy new Year !!,

Hank

 

Wow 10 yrs and 12k posts and yet so rude. Who would look at this ad and still feel comfortable buying from the op?

Cool car anyway

 

Not me, I thought it was a cool car, but the seller's attitude turned me right off of it. Steer clear.

 

yeah, seriously, one of the rudest things on here I've seen outside of a normal P&R discussion.

Potential Buyer: How much for your car mister?
Thecarreaper: F&%K You! that's how much!

 

Soup Nazi?




"NO PORSCHE for you!!"

 

Seems like a good car at a reasonable price, but the sellers attitude is bad. I would never buy a car from him. Also his information on California smog laws is incorrect. A 1975 or older vehicle can have any engine/modifications, as they are smog exempt.

 

Carreaper needs no defending from me or anybody, but I will offer an observation. He's a serious car fan, has traded in and out of a bunch of interesting cars.

His work schedule is apparently brutal, and as we all know, there are times when work stress can otherwise make us a little cranky. Lord knows I've been there. After observing a bunch of his threads, this one seems an aberration, not consistent with his manner. So possibly other forces going on here, independent of car and query.

Getting back to the car, I hope it finds a good home and trust that the transaction will make a sale or even friends. There's certainly enough horsepower to spread goodwill.
