Just emailed him as the car is around the corner from me. Whats up with the odometer reading?

This is a total scam, I am sure

Either a scam or misprint. We'll find out shortly.

It's in my backyard as well if it turns out legit and someone wants help with a quick look.

"The Porsche, as indicated by its VIN number, is an "S" series Porsche which was introduced in 1995 and equipped with 4 wheel drive option & 6 speed transmission.Not to be confused with the C4S which was introduced in 1996 featuring the "turbo look" coupe and standard 285 hp motor."

What does that mean? It's an "S".....it's not an "S"....

I would think that it is a misprint. However, I will be interested to find out the truth shortly. Keep us post.

lol, that has to be the WORST execution of a scam ever. He may as well have put in the text "p.s. please contact me if you can help my nigerian father get money out of our country..."

By the way, it is not a C4. The brake calipers, rear emblem, and top of the gear shift are the wrong color.

I requested to become an " approved " buyer, curious to see what the reply will be. Looks like a 1995 C2 to me.

Gotta be a scam and a poor one at that. A misprint wouldn't include the odometer error... or maybe the guy was very drunk when he posted the ad.
Appears to be a crook fishing for people even less informed than he is.
They are out htere...

wait! the odometer says 000881? But the ad copy says 11,000?


Is this the scam where you have to give money on your credit card to become pre-qualified?

If you can see a rear emblem, you've got sharper eyes than I. Agreed on the gear shift, but are the brake calipers on a vanilla C4's a different color? I thought they were all black.

This is pretty baffling. The odometer raises the stench of seafood, but still, I'm intrigued, as the motor and interior look relatively clean.
