German sheet metal is thicker, and made to fit the car correctly. You can buy a lot of aftermarket panels for a beetle (fenders, hoods, aprons) but they are never exactly correct. Almost always made out of thinner material, and usually not correctly fitting.

Fenders in particular are a real pain in the a**. The aftermarket fenders are different widths vs. the factory fenders, AND usually different widths from themselves. So if you swap out just a right-front fender the wheel gap is different left to right. If you're building a car and need to order aftermarket fenders, you not only have to order left and right at the same time...you have to confirm with the supplier they too bought their whole shipment at the same time. Fenders made today, are going to be a different width from fenders made next week. It's just the way it is. Common VW forum post is "help! my car sits uneven!" Uh no, you just have crappy fenders.

When I built the '71 Rally beetle, I bought four cars to make just the one unit. '71/72 Super Beetles have a two-year only hood, and I needed to find one good one to build the car, and a second good one to keep as a spare. (it's a rally car, I'm going to crash it). Took three cars just to get four good, German, fenders. I bought one parts car strictly because it had a good right fender. Walked up, checked the fender, made an offer. "don't you want to start it?" Nah, I'm good. Sell me the car. :P

Sounds like it needs some work, but also sounds like he's flexible on the price.

I thought this was sick

1998 Mercedes AMG E55 Wagon (E55T)

Scam. Here's the original sale ad.

Sell used 1991 Acura Honda NSX Black on Black 129,908 Miles 5 Speed Manual Transmission LR in Kaysville, Utah, United States, for US $26,999.00

I would assume because its from Victoria am i right?:accepted:

Can someone translate a bit of the japanese? goods or bad and known problems?

does it say how much it was sold for ?

Stickers on the door pillar, engine bay and even in the interior can tell you which jurisdiction the car is from.

Could easily get $2K for the Advans
$7900 for a low mileage IS300 is a steal
Engine is basically bullet proof too!

1996 Porsche 993 (911) Twin Turbo

edit: maybe shouldn't have posted this in craigslist good buys

^ What a beauty. Of course I love Arena red. And yes low mileage 993 TT's are going for over 100k now. Most are in the 110-120k range so they are on the high side.

Mine is the top one. The paint does not look seem that off in person. but I'm sure people with a keener eye will spot it more easily. Car does show signs it has been in an accident but has a clean title.

Traded my fc for the itr with the intention on reselling it immediately. There is a bit of rust and a trunk leak. But overall it us in decent shape, definitely not a 10,000+ dollar itr. I think the price reflects the condition accurately. If someone wants to see it PM me.
