I wonder what an RS4 is? And what a pop out sunroof is? The ride height is probably right for off-roading.

That's an RSAmerica, of course, not an RS.

Maybe "4" is his secret code for the letter "A"

Usually that means a malfunctioning sunroof!

I am naturally leery of any seller that uses the word "sexy" in a car ad. And he used that word twice. Must think that a potential buyer has something to compensate for. Maybe he needs to throw in that enlarger pump that the Ferrari seller on ebay had.

Nice! An "RS4" in "Cherry Red" with "pop out sunroof." Obviously not versed in Porsche.

How vague is that!!! I could probably write a better description just looking at somebody else's car.

Since the owner has no clue as to properly describing his RSA...maybe someone will get a deal because he may not have any idea what it's worth...

I especially like the blurred picture of the VIN.

Also.....why no mention of what the actual mileage is? If I was a prospective purchaser....that would be one of the first things I'd want to know....

Looking at the feedback of the seller.....I'm beginning to wonder if it is a woman that is selling the car. Maybe a non-enthusiast wife selling her husband's car???


I'm just guessing here....but you would think most Porsche owners would know how to describe their RSA...

Might be an accurate conclusion, but my 356-owning sister (and many of the Rennlist women) might come after you with a big stick for that..

I don't know what's up with the jeans transactions, but it kinda looks like drivewhatyouwant is a small car lot/ service shop. There are a lot of ways these guys get their cars: auction, buddy deal, buy them from another dealer, people walk in off the street and say, "How much ya give me for it?" Crazy but true. Sometimes these are actually consignments but the seller isn't really up front about it. Maybe this guy bought because he just wanted to drive it around for a while.

Looks a little...dubious. As was said, the off-road ride-height is a little odd. A lot of these are "lightly used", but at 96K miles, this one's been driven a bit. Those wheels are not really my cup of tea.

"Local only, no shipping". If he really means that, he doesn't really want to sell it that bad.

I think the 96143 he/she mentioned is the zip code where the car is located. Either that, or their idea of "low miles" is not exactly the same as mine.....
