    Is he having a good run with his TT?

    As a matter of interest, when I sold mine it went to Porsche Brisbane for an inspection, they found nothing wrong and on top of that they diagnosed what I had been told was a dashboard squeak as actually coming from the windscreen. Apparently the windscreen rubber goes hard or dry and the screen squeaks around inside it. They lubricated the seal and the noise went. :) Wish I had found that out earlier :( , was the only thing that disappointed me on the whole car.

    Yes, he loves his TT :)
    He even did a track day in it recently ....not bad for 70yo

    I remember the squeak ! It was freaking him out.
    Windscreen rubber ! *bangs head on desk*

    Your 993 and I keep crossing paths.
    In a strange series of events, it is the car that caused me to buy [and sell] my 2nd TT...

    No, but to this day I have only ever bought one car that I actually wanted.....

    My 1986 Mk2 Golf GTI, with K jetronic and small bumpers.... Black/black/ Stock standard and in 1992 I was SO happy with it. It went like the clappers and I really took care of it.

    The seller even said he was leaving the country and I stole it from him.

    it was THE BEST car (esp as I was 22 at the time)....

    Anyway, some pr1ck pulled acoss a crossroads and I totalled it. It's the only real shunt I've had and i'm STILL bitter about it.

    Stephen Lake... you bastard, I'll have you yet........

    Hey Mr Dee Jay....
    The questions about these websites have been about how easy they are for people to use... is the bigger question more about whether they get rid of the car you are trying to flog off?

    I am trying to get rid of a 2001 VX SS at the minute (not mine but I know the owner well).. 70,000km.. it is in good nick too.

    Now I know this RHOS Holden is related to the devil incarnate.. but which site is more likely to make it disappear to a buyer with a load of $$ in his/her/its pockets?

    I know... it is a HOS... but if I make a decent commission on the sale, I am willing to lower my standards...

    If there is a bogan around willing to buy a 5.7l fuel slurper in these times of $1.40 a litre of petrol...

    Hey Mr Dee Jay....
    Cool websites :rolleyes:

    The car is ex-company fleet after a corporate downsizing event, so it becomes available as the incumbent is no longer the incumbent. There are probably 250 cars and trucks in the fleet across the country... so its nothing new and unusual to get rid of them.

    The lease payout is a lot less than the current market value, so it is normal practice to try and maximise the sell price and generate a profit for the employer... In this instance, the disparity between cost and sell is around $12k...

    As for the insurance fraud reference?????? :confused:
