I seem to recall reading some bad feedback on the seller. If someone is interested, they should do a search.

The carfax shows a long history, registered in many states, bounced around to a number of dealers (sold at auction twice)...

As some have referenced, do a search on the dealer. That will be all you need to know.

If it looks like Schmitt, smells like Schmitt and tastes like Schmitt, then it must be Schmitt.

Suspect a little too much moisture has affected this car. Look closely at the seat control picture. One of the screws is rusting. Says loads to me about past maintenance.

I thought I liked all Porsche Cabs, until I saw this one.

Someone was either color blind when ordered this color combo or someone at the Porsche factory was on drugs.

The worst I ever saw was an aventurine green C4 cabriolet with a chestnut top and chestnut interior. Oh my God, that was a horrid car! It was so ugly you'd go blind if you looked at it long enough.

The above posts say it all about this dealer. They have one of the worst reps on the internet. You should see the feedback they get over at Ferrarichat.

Run, do not walk, away from these people.

Thanks to everyone for their replies and PMs. I'm staying away from this one.
