You'll be lucky if you get $10,000. Closer to $7,000 if its what you say it is. Post up some pictures

bidding ended at 6100 bucks but it has been relisted with no reserve. seems as though it's a genuine lw5 but with a new engine which may or may not be an a8???

I never actually seen any reference or picture in his add that actually proved it was a genuine factory turbo. Just that it has a mx7 or something.. Winner probably went there to buy a factory A8 MX7 and to realize its a factory n/a with turbo manual and the rest a bolt on LOL.

Unfortunately this has become a common problem, i think in this matter following up on researching of any vehicle prior is most important cause with out the right matching id tags, car won't be worth its true value.

He never claimed it was a factory turbo, just mx7. Everybody else assumed it was a genuine lw5 mx7 for example. Thats why the people with knowledge on vlt's stayed the fuck away lol.
