WTF! I could get a used 360 Spider for $95k!! Are the rims even Lowenharts? They look almost like the knockoff Diablo Lionharts...

wacko jacko
thats guy is full of it...

1 - i dont know the laws in cali, but here in NY teh state limit for tints is 35%, even then i still got 20% all around to make the car look ONE color. it looks weird imho to have the front windows clear and the backs soo dark

2 - those rims have got to be knockoffs, even if they weren't, i think they're many nicer rims to put on that car, ex: LORINSER - ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A LORINSER PACKAGE?!¿

3 - i was too wondering how he has "keyless go"?

and for 95k good luck man, lucky if you get around 75k if even that much... im sure it was a typo though cause he couldn't be serious, or is he¿

If you look at the pics....Maybe he's trying to sell the house behind the car ROFL!

I just ask the buyer a question on Ebay..."$95000??? Are you kidding me!"

I think it's fraud.... but stupid I guess..... it's $95K and has a reserve price 0 feedback.... who wants to buy it?

Also, right now at eBay.... a W210 E55 w/ E430 rims (which I think only 16 or 17, right?).

Wow! This guy is loaded!
Well, I drove by this guys house and it turns out he lives exactly 3 miles from me (punched it in on my trusty Nav) and sure enough...there was the C55 sitting in his garage...


...but look what else he had sitting in his driveway (brand new plates)...

Nick
PS Pics are bad but I had my camera with me as I was taking pics of the progress of my home, so perfect timing as I was snapping away wondering if they thought - what the hell is this guy doing. I was gonna just go up and see if someone was home but I was already running late.

You're from Fresno Nick? I'm moving to Fresno next week. Didn't realize there were any forum members out that way. You up for a mini-meet?

We're also in the home building process. Granville at La Ventana! Still waiting for them to break ground.

The Gallardo has a modified exhaust on it as well....

This guy seems a bit if he can afford a Gallardo but can't get some real rims for the C55

Hey Blake!

That's good to hear that you're moving here! Well, if you don't mind 108 degree days, which has been the case these past couple weeks. Yesterday we had a "cooling trend"...yeah only 101 lol

Congrats on your Granville home!!! Those are really nice models. I was close to getting the Versailes model but I went with Wilson so it's actually being built in Clovis (right next to Fresno).

So when you move here we'll have to "shine" this guy on into thinking we're interested in his C55. Of course we'll only buy if he gives us a ride in his Lambo!

I'm well accustomed to hot summers because I grew up in the central valley. We're renting an apartment right near Riverpark while the home is being built, but we're excited to be buying our first home. I'll be in town starting next week, so PM me with your contact information and we'll have to meet up. I'll PM my cell # now.
