Smokey15 Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Was going to bid on car but from your post I get a feeling of concern. Could you please expand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Is that Mr. Doyne ? (see past postings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reattadudes Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 he specializes (it seems) in Chrysler Maseratis, Allantes, and Reattas, and is reviled in every group. the cars are not quite as he says they are, and it seems that many of his feedback comments reflect this. I believe someone from this group had gone down from one of the Carolinas to see one of his last Reattas for sale, a red convertible. it was said to be junk, and it seemed to have had a rough life compared to the miles on the odometer.a friend who sells Chrysler Maserati parts had seen one of Mr. Doyne's TCs for sale, and one of the door panels was missing a large piece of leather, so Mr. Doyne substituted a piece of cardboard, sprayed to match. with the way the photos were taken, it was impossible to see...at least until you received the car.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reatta Fan Posted July 19, 2004 Author Share Posted July 19, 2004 Smokey15,I'm neither atacking or defending this seller but just pointing out factual past history and opinions. Using the search function of this forum you can see the past history of this seller and draw your own conclusions. I tried it using this Reatta as the forum to search on, "Doyne" for the keyword search term, and got a page full of hits. Also, go to www.allante.org for more info.

reattadudes Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 for example: in the Reatta convertible he presently has for sale, there is a photo of the odometer. is the 'brake' light on...or not? any mention of this in the text of the ad?as ReattaFan had mentioned, take some time to read some of the previous posts from here, as well as the Allante site. you might see some parallel comments between the two sites.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Lot's of wear on the steering wheel. The carpet doesn't look right. Did that year have the pin striping? The rear lens is very cloudy. Buyer beware. It could be a good deal if the price is right. Make sure you know what you are getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawja Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 This guy is running aroung 30% negative feedback over the past year. That should tell you something; and believe me if I was selling a car that had a steering wheel that looked as bad as that one appears to be, I would have a nice, clear pic of it, not the sorta, kinda obliquely showing its condition if you are looking for it, sleight-of-hand nonesense Mr. Doyne is notorious for.Interior carpet looks to me like the floor got filled with water at some point.Reattas could be ordered sans pinstriping all years, but I don't think many were actually built without the striping. Most likely a re-paint IMO.Caveat Emptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey15 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Thanks everyone. I will not be bidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mgibson Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Pin striping missing could be correct, but rare. I have a Black/Tan 90 that is coded "pin stripe delete", but wouldn't you know? A previous owner or dealer added a very nice custom painted pinstripe! As for the seller, where there's smoke, there's probably a fire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Doyne's from Florida, is his hanging mirror anything like a hanging chad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
