Anybody dealt with Wicked Motor Works??

Seems as if every car they sell has a 'salvaged' title...nice eye-candy with the kits and all but how are they MECHANICALLY? Never really understood what salvaged meant anyways...is that similar to reconditioned or refurbished merchandise they sell at those Outlet Stores (i.e. Sony's, Bose, aso...)

Charitably, I would say their cars appear to be more marketed for the well-heeled who responds to the eye-candy with an impulse buy, rather than to the knowledgeable, well-reserched Porsche enthusiast.

"refurbished" would be euphemism at it's best

I'd stay away.

But at least they're clear about it and let you know the car is a salvage.
Unlike the GT2 seller in the other thread.
