No kidding, 2 pics of the car both from the rear. WTF? Not very meticulous.

I agree totally, but we have to remember, not all 911 owners are "car" people as we are LOL.
Looks to be a stellar build, just let down by a lack luster ad.

Agreed, very nice build at a reasonable ask in the current market. Would have loved to see the interior. Maybe his phone has no camera?

I've owned so many sport and collector cars i can't even recall all of them anymore. It's not a deal breaker or always the case, but a well prepared and photographed ad definitely has a big impact on whether i pursue something or not. I just never get a warm feeling when i see something sloppy or half baked in terms of information. You really don't need to be a "car guy" to do a decent add. A grade school kid anymore can take great pics.My other pet peeve are the Porsche dealers who list Pdk's as 3 pedal cars.

I can imagine with the manuals going for a premium!
I saw a low mileage black manual F430 on BAT end up selling for about $260K.
What are you looking for specifically? I love looking for difficult to find cars. (BTW, we live about 30 minutes from each other)

I was looking for a manual 991.2 C2 and there are so many listed as manual that are PDK. It's very frustrating. The first thing I'd do is go to a pic of the interior to see if there's a gear shift or a PDK.

Looking for all Carfax experts,

https://www.carfax.com/VehicleHistor...5YKF2aduPZ9NZQ

I like this car but I am unsure why it had 8k when it was first sold, Does anyone have any ideas?

Vin analytics has Warranty Start: December 15, 2016

Porsche Conshohocken was not tremendous help when asked about this vehicle.

Agreed, I think it was a dealer car. Used by the owner or manager.

This needs to be at least $10k less to just be considered HFS.
