I know we have all heard stories about the angry Divorcee who was selling the Mercedes SL500 for $500, or the Hemi Cuda that was stored in the barn for 40 years. Well I may have come across one of those opportunities today, sorta, and want to make sure that it's as good as it sounds.

I have the opportunity to purchase a 2005 911 Turbo S, with 30k miles on it in pristine condition, with ceramic brakes for... around $40k. I inspected the car today and it is mint, a legitimate offer. Amazingly clean! Actually nicer than my current 2000 996 with 22k on it.

The car is not listed for sale, and I happened to run into the would-be-seller today while cruising around in my 911. An elderly gentleman who has too many sports cars than he knows what to do with and he offered me the opportunity to purchase it at what seems to be a price that is too good to pass up.

Well, what do you think??

not trying to say this is what's going on, but....
i always have to remember if something sounds too good to be true, theres a better chance than not that it is! haha best of luck though!! sounds like a great buy

40k seems to be a good price for a fast sale. Also 28k miles on the car I hope the rotors don't soon need replacement. Post some pics if the sale goes through..

I am the gentleman you talked to, very nice meeting you. Please just wire the money to my Nigerian back account and I can ship you the car asap!















Be careful....

jmchris01

Will do. I was concerned about the ceramics myself. I know brake work on the ceramics can cost the price of a used Boxster these days. I'll post pics as soon as I purchase the car. Probably going to have a ppi done on it before I sign the check.

jmchris01

I got a better one for you... All I have is a check for $50k from an insurance settlement. I'll send you the check and you send me the car plus $10k.

AZ930

Yes either or works for me

jmchris01

I didn't mention that the car is Speed Yellow. Not sure of how that affects the price.

Sounds like a great deal. Go get a PPI on the car and do it if it comes out OK.

jmchris01

My thoughts exactly. A PPI is a must on anything that appears to be too good of a deal to be true.
