can someone help me out here. i am new to the Porche planet, I recently bought a 97 Boxter at a local dealer auction (i sell rv's) and just love it and I came across (at that same auction) a 2012 911 carrera that is listed as a "4" but autocheck states "2". It's a one owner with just under 14K miles. It's a cabriolet , quto manual, no doubt out of my price range ....and need a quick education tho. thx.

The quickest visual tell is to take a look at the tail and see if there is a red-lensed light strip that spans the gap between the tail lights. Only the "4" awd models have that. GTS models have a black non-lit version, the "2" models are just the normal paint color there.

Thanks. Big help. so it's a 2 but the auction had it as a "4". It didn't sell either. priced too high ? mid 50's. 1 owner from Hawaii. Im so tempted.

That's not a 991. That's a 997.2. Miles are low, but I bet you can get a non auction car for similar. I'd slow down. For reference there's a CPO cab on the Porsche site 2010 with 14k miles for $59k. No difference between a 2012 and 2010.
Use this link (remove the ' apostrophe from the front, and replace the vin with your specific one) and you should pull up the official Porsche build sheet.
Selling run of the mill 911s at auction is nonsensical. Autions are useful for determining what people are willing to pay for rare and hard to value items... a one-off or rare supercar, an original painting, etc. For a mass produced car that has hundreds of examples listed for sale, the value can be easily determined and there is no point in wasting time and effort at auction.

I'm pretty certain he's not talking about an auction like Mecum's. OP is likely referencing the typically car-dealer-only auctions that dealers use to get rid of trade-ins they don't want to keep in-house for whatever reason (typically not appropriate for their customer base).
