mfast Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I know it's not a seven, but anyone that can check it out for me? Xanthos 23 I'm trying to buy and seller doesn't really know much about it. Thanks Mfast http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/cto/4223196319.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Not only does he not know about the car he is selling. He has about the same grasp of the English language as my house cat. Low quality photos as well. It all adds up a rather dodgy situation to me. But I could be dead wrong. Caveat emptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlumba81 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Well the engine says VTEC on the valve covers so it has a Honda motor in it. Ok found the Xantos website. So its a Lotus 23 replica. I'd do a bit more research to see if the seller has it titled and registered. "Cash only" for "$28,0500 OBO" doesn't sound right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off Road SHO Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Search for his phone number on Google and you will see a lot of busted vehicles he is selling. Cadillacs, jeeps, Mustangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcarguy Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 He has about the same grasp of the English language as my house cat. Oh well, Old McDonald was a bad speller too. Just ask the folks at Geico. :jester: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Oh well, Old McDonald was a bad speller too. Just ask the folks at Geico. :jester: Good one xcarguy:D To be fair, I'm no Mark Twain when it comes to writing skills. The least one should do when trying to place an advert to sell something is to do at least a little proof reading & use a spell checker. The car is pretty cool looking & that Vortec Oops! I mean VTEC should be pretty quick as well. It could be a brilliant car. But the seller has done every thing in his power to make that car look questionable & himself look like a dodgy back ally huckster. May not be fair, But that's life. I personally wouldn't touch it unless I had the chassis number and made a call to Xanthos to ask whether it was a kit build or turnkey. Mr. mfast really needs to do the aforementioned title/registration investigation, As well as insisting that he be put in touch with the prior owner.

DeanG Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Amazingly small and light. They can also be powerful. The only person ever seriously hurt at a LOG was driving one of those. A fast car with narrow tires on a dirty road can spell disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davemk1 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 It looks like it has both the front and rear windows out of an Elise. Interesting. dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
