Ed always dreamed of owning a Ruf car. When he finally got the chance, it didn't live up to the expectation.

"Got to about 186mph so I was disappointed" Best line ever.

@shananagans5 6 лет назад

lol Well, you get an expectation in your mind & it's disappointing when something falls short. Back in the late 80's my aunt had a Mercedes Hammer that was supposed to hit 185+. My cousin & I got it to a track & measured it at 171.72. That was still an amazing number for the 80's but we had our hearts set on 185 & it fell far short of that.

@EdBolian 6 лет назад

It was a very special car but it didn't do it for me. Fortunately, I think the dealer I sold it to did pretty well with it. They drove it over 1k miles before selling it so they had some fun and he addressed the suspension and hp issues that I disclosed to him when he bought it. Can't wait to see where it turns up.

I once bought a old datsun from a police auction for $50 after fees I parked it at my house, a van backed into it. Her insurance came over (allstate) and said it would cost more to fix that it's worth, I said any running car is worth $500 and I could fix it for that. He cut me a $500 check on the spot. I sold the car 2 weeks later for $500 and financed $400 of it, repossessed it 6 months later, sold it for $500 again, repossessed it 3 months later. Sold it to my neighbor who wanted to know if it floats.... $250 cash and he sank it. Loved that old car. Hahaha

When I had the car on jacks I saw a titanium sport-catback. Removed it, cleaned it and sold it on the Dutch marketplace for 700 euro’s. Swaped it for a stainless steel one. I placed the car on the marketplace and sold it for 2650 euro’s. Sold it for a total of 3350 euro’s made around 2900 euro’s. (Btw it was my first car).

First Porsche ever made for the States, and he had a roll cage in it racing. That car was restored, and now Seinfeld has it. Anyways, we had a 94 RUF come in, knew nothing about it, but I knew I liked it. Took for a test drive, to look for the wind noise the customer was complaining about. OMG what a badass machine.

If you look good, you'll save a few bucks but otherwise they say "no, sorry we can't trade unless you go bring your other new car here".
