Saw this one earlier, looks to be pretty nice. The dealer does have somewhat of a spotty reputation, but doesn't have bad feedback
according to Ebay. There was a newspaper article about this dealer a
while ago that stated he kept a few deposits from people, car was not
as described, etc., but I do believe there is at least one person on this list that did buy a car from them and was pretty satisfied. One thing for sure,
peoples expectations on buying a used car vary widely.......best to have it checked out by a person that "thinks" like you do.........just don't take a salesman's "word".
Just as an aside......the dash looks a little warped above the console, may not be a big deal.....but could be a bargaining tool.

I'm pretty impressed with the condition of this car on pictures alone. I did notice the dash warp, which is a bit of a concern on whether the car was outside or not.
One thing I did notice that was good is if you look at the radiator the sticker on the left is still on the car. Why does this matter?? How many cars still have that sticker? Almost none. It always comes off. It means that the engine bay condition is good. It also means that the AC has not been converted.
I think that the price is VERY good IF, IF, IF there is a solid service history and the condition is as advertised.
Get someone to go look at it.

The other item most cars are missing regardless of miles is the little blue cap on the positive terminal on the right fender. Looks like this one has the original, last I was told you can't get blue ones any longer.

Ya, the cap is there but if you look closely the black cover is not. Also
noticed that the car is wearing Bridgestone RE-71 tires. How long have those tires been out of production? Probably getting a little long in tooth.
I hate when Porsche discontinues or changes the look of items that don't make the car look original anymore.......I know, pretty lame, but I'm one of those "original" nut, bolt, sticker guys.
