You know - I've seen a whole lot of For Sale ads on Rennlist through the years - and that's a whole lot of years with a whole lot of threads - and, I think I can say that, as I posted the first post ever to PorscheList/Rennlist. So - let me tell you how this is going to play out.. To the OP, either be serious about selling your car here - or sell it on eBay - I could really care less. That includes being responsive to real questions with real answers - or take your ad elsewhere.
To those who have expressed a real interest with bonafide questions - this shouldn't be a game of "hide & seek" for answers from previous threads made by the OP.
I'd suggest strongly that this thread gets real - and real quickly.
Have a great day,
John D.

This is a good example of how not to sell your car. Poor marketing techniques and a questionable attitude do nothing to instill confidence in a buyer. However, it can be done, and executed with common sense and grace; it's really not that hard.

Thanks for jumping in, John. I was following this thread late last night.

The strange hasn't gone away either.

I dunno,
Sounds like a car that needs $3-5K that was being priced what, $20K under market? Under warranty, and with New York consumer law protecting you in case it had a Toyota engine under the cover. What's the worst that could have happened to a buyer?
Agree the general circumstances are a bit odd, but not in a fishy title way. I don't think the poster's people skills are too strong, on the other hand, she has a great car and has a very reasonable idea why it's underpriced. I'd give the lady a break here, it's all part of the Porsche experience.

is this, has this been a technical discussion? check the forums drop down menu, it says "water cooled technical discussion areas", then you move over to the "987-981 forum" and then we have the OP trying to sell a car and then the RListers get going with commentary, issues with the car, pontifications, back and forths, to and fros, he said/she said and sprinkled with first world problems; approaching embarrassment. The OP, as has been noted, should (should've) post(ed) a proper For Sale ad in the Rennlist classified forum.

But of course, what happened over these last 5 pages has been nothing short of ridiculous.

And it sounds like the repair cost, just what was known, was more than $5k. And no test drive. And given the condition of the car, it wouldn't be a stretch to assume the car hasn't exactly been well cared for by the owner.
And warranty? How much of that is left? At most 2 years, likely closer to 1? And if there is damage, warranty doesn't apply. You wouldn't want a test drive and DME on a car, particularly one that doesn't appear to have been well cared for?
My guess is that this car would sell for $65-70k, if it was available for full inspection and passed all the mechanicals. In no way does it sound like a screaming deal, particularly given the lack of information available to the buyer.

No way a car with that mileage is anywhere near a $91k car even if in great condition. I have a better spec Sypder than that, in perfect condition, with about 3,500 miles on it and I don't think I could get $91k for it today.

Hey folks,
I thought I'd leave this thread open for a while to let folks express their opinions and such. And, glad I did for a bit. For now - however - this thread is now closed. I think we all have more productive things to do and talk about. Or, at least I know I do...
Have a great evening,
John D.
