HOT FOR SALE: Pick of the Week 991
08-31-2018, 07:17 PM
If anyone is interested: we sold our 2012 C2S cab, manual with every performance option and every luxury option (18-ways, Burmester, PDCC, full black leather) platinum silver, probably an 8.5 cosmetically (a few rock chips and a couple of scuffs on the leather) for $68,500. It had 29,500 miles. I thought it would go for more, but we just had very little interest. It was in top shape mechanically, with nearly new tires.
I suppose manual cab buyers are a rare breed!

Yes that definitely will burn the retinas!
He wasn't obviously!
$127k for a Carrera S? You're joking right? 
Oh the dealership's name says it all...Jack Daniel's Porsche...they must be sipping some of the stock brand prior to closing time on that price! LOL
Here's one with a CPO. Less than 400 miles.

There's nothing wrong with an EDE that a heavy discount, a heat gun, and a wheel repaint won't fix.
The graphics might have worked if they had ghosted them, maybe? Nah....

Should have been left out. Lane change assist, helps with the the blind spots. Not the end of the world there. Better than adaptive cruise control

Gosh, we can't get a break here. First the HFS soap opera, now PCNA is screwing with the VIN# lookups.

PCNA has been busy making changes this past week just before heading into our Labor Day weekend. From what I’ve gathered so far:
- All VINs and their stock numbers on the national preowned porsche site have now been converted to images instead of text in an attempt to stop screen scrapers. It’s a laughable attempt but still ...
- This is the biggie: They changed the build sheet URL such that it now REQUIRES an inventory ID in addition to the VIN. Also, the inventory ID must match the VIN internal to their database. This effectively means the party is over.
- They seem to have removed the build sheets for many but not all of the vehicles listed on their site.
- Of the listings that still have it, they’ve blocked the middle digits of the VIN number from the PDF file. Not the end of the world but still an annoyance.
This is well within PCNAs rights to do so of course but upsetting none-the-less. This will impacts sites like vinanalytics.com from being able to decode new new VINs (but previously decoded ones remain accessible).
Anyone out there that can help us??

But shell bucket seats with a glass moonroof? Reminds me of the U.S. 997 RS 4.0 press car with "lightweight headlights" (read: 200-hp headlights in a 500-hp car...which ain't fun on a dark coast) and PCCB but 18-way Adaptive Sport Seats.

The "help" that was needed was not commercializing and overtly advertising the obviously unintentional back door that existed into the PCNA database... I hate to be rude, but IMHO it was exactly efforts like the VinAnalytics website and other similar websites that forced Porsches hand into shutting down the back door for good.
How many inquiries did your website make against the database in the past few months? How would you expect Porsche to react when they see that kind of request volume coming from a single set of IP addresses? You might have made it easier for folks to grab build sheets from vins, but you also shined a HUGE spotlight on the process, focused those inquiries from a single source rather than a random set of IP addresses, and probably tripped all kinds of intrusion sensors if they have ANY kind of data security systems.
You even went as far as to TELL Porsche that you where grabbing their data when their lawyers gave you a cease and desist on domain name trademark violations.
Incredibly disappointed we lost the resource, entirely predictable considering the recent exploitation of it.

STG! Brilliant idea! I am a devout follower of the thread. I have owned both 991.1 and 991.2, both platforms are what we would expect from Porsche, the best at their time! Both cars have their special values to potential buyers, and it's hard to find a bad car -- thank you for including the 991.2's in this valuable thread.
