Still can't get over them shutting down the build sheets and hiding the VIN#'s. VIN's can still be found on dealer sites and places like cars.com
Build sheets are only shown on the Porsche site though. Only for cars for sale at Porsche dealers though on the National Pre-Owned Site which sucks as well.
What a joke and a lot of hassle looking for cars.
Little do they realize this is making life harder for their buyers and not good for marketing their cars. Speaking for myself, it's very un-motivating and requires a lot more work digging into listings.

Deal directly with enthusiasts and private sellers. Bypass the dealer mark ups and games. Just another search option.

Yeah I was googling it last night, seems to be an interesting color. I am not a fan of black cars--mainly because they only look good if the paint is flawless and then only immediately after a wash. The Basalt black seems to be interesting enough to be different. I had a Carbon Black E46 M3 which I thought was an interesting color. This seems to have some similiar properties.

Thanks. I mentioned it on his post in the 991 GT3/RS forum. Any interested should follow there.

Found this on Carmax's site. I'm usually scared of them but I know some people here have gotten decent deals.
It seems pretty well optioned and it is a manual. The mileage is a bit high though.
Thoughts? Anyone know this car?

Edit: Just looked at the Carfax, five owners and lease/rental history. I think I'll pass.

that said, we thought it would be beneficial for people to have access to historical listings, to help with price comps, etc

Good luck! I'm sure will do well and you'll constantly find ways to improve it.
If a seller can make a bit more than a trade in, and a buyer can pay a bit less than full dealer mark up, it's a win/win. Like splitting the difference between two parties rather than throwing in a dealer for their three way cut.
The dealer model obviously has some benefits, but with some of these more enthusiast buyers and sellers they both know what they're looking for. More knowledgeable many times too.

Been there done that. Not willing to deal with low ballers and tire kickers. For me, it is not worth the hassle.
On the reverse, some private owners think I am stealing their child. Check the inflated prices in the PCA mag

All true ... Just one avenue to search. We know the FSBO gig is hard from the buying and selling sides. Some guys do find success. Just one option.
