Default 85 Euro S? on EBAY for $5K ????!!!!

This just poped up this morning... I can't move on it, but it may be the DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH....

It looks like a Euro side marker. No engine photos... Could be a nice score for someone.

No affiliation..

Ad says 32v; could be a smog euro - not the 16v 310hp version. Or the ad coul be wrong.

'Green' ROW 32V was '86 only.

Auto or manual, I wonder?

$5k is not a "great" price until it has had a PPI, even then I can think of more than two other Calif Euro's that sold for less, and some were pretty nice.

OTOH asking price on CL means zip, if its appealing somebody should call and check it out.

Reading around the thumb first digit of license looks like a 6, which means fairly recent new plates (sold), but at least its Calif plates so maybe it doesn't have registration issues. Tag on the rear plate is orange (2012 or 2013?), month is april. Not that many 85 Euro's in Calif, so anybody curious could figure out the vin etc. without too much work.

What kind of brake pads are blue?

Its already overcome the almost-insurmountable hurdle to owning a Euro in California.. getting it registered.

Someone on this forum should be going there to check it and the title out on Saturday morning, with cash in their pocket. Odds are its an early MY86 (i.e. made in 1985) German "smog" motor, given the ad states 32V, and it got through emissions regs in CA at some point.. but you never know...

Auto or manual can be fixed later.

that's not eBay... that's Craigslist

although whomever buys it will likely try to flip it on eBay.

He doesn't need to sell his car. He needs a freakin divorce, or at least grow a pair.

He is no Archie Bunker. Someone should rescue the car from that dude and find out which version it is.

CL Ad says = "well just got married and the wife says this car and a couple of my motorcycles have to go! I wouldnt be selling my "moden exotic" porsche if I had a choice."

Wuss!!!!!!!!!!! with a capital W.

Wow, this is an exotic - seems to have been converted to use moden fuel.

I just noticed the seller made a classic CL mistake in the listing.

I hope somebody looks it over soon, I hate mysteries.
