Hey guys just wanted to let people know that there is og calais turbo on ebay being sold by a guy called mickrb30 saying that the car has always been garaged and serviced and owned by a 52 year old. The truth is he bought it off my mate no less than a couple of weeks ago for around $3500 and now has it at $9800 . Just saying be careful cause he is obviously telling a few porkies.

Maybe he really is 52 though. Is he really telling a lie then?

Your mate sold a genuine A9Y turbo for $3500?? If you have any more mates selling cars like this for prices like that please let me know.

That Wagon has open hole headrests, and you can see in a couple of the pictures that the seat material has a pattern going horizontal as in a Berlina. Like giantbrandon mentioned it could be an early HDT Built Calais Wagon, but it certainly not an A9Y.
