Price looks about right, but I won't call it a jackpot.

Sunroof delete! You don't see those very often.

Looks like a car I posted a link about a year or so ago. Local as well, same color and sunroof delete. The car looks like it's sitting funny to me, look at the rear driver's side wheel.

I don't know why, but I kind of like it.
Rear driver wheel doesn't look centered in picture, but thats nothing to worry about (if no signs of hit).
A full alignment is at stake anyway, especially after lowering that suv
Would change the bumpers though, + three spoke steering, and alu sills.

what's up with that options list at the end? There is an options listing for a "white top". What is that?

Interesting car.

Mnitz

Really nice spec on that car.
No sunroof, LSD, sport chassis,
right color

I think that's what the Germans call "Dachhimmel weiB" meaning "White headliner". Kind of unique I must say. The car looks very clean in white.


Edit: I regret what I mentioned above.. i have no idea what it means. It doesn't apprear to be white. Maybe this is a deafault code in combination with the sunroof delete option. On my car (no sunroof) it doesn't specifically say sunroof delete in the option code list, mine just lacks the sunroof (650) code.

I don't think that option list is the original sticker. More like what the dealer prints out from the computer that is often wrong (and most often wrong on the seat choice). I would definitely look at the sticker under the hood to confirm options before you buy.

Looks like a great car though... I dig the color combination and it looks well broken in.

Besides the off-center rear driver side wheel, there is also something going on with the front bumper and the hood.

It could just be misaligned, or it could be a sign that it's been hit and repaired. Get a good PPI from a body shop.

roche

yeah, i don't think it's a "holy grail" type car, but i thought it was unique enough being a widebody, sunroof delete car with an LSD somebody might be interested. hopefully a good PPI can clear things up for the buyer.

Odometer rollback on Carfax. Big deal? Little deal? Caveat Emptor...

Porsche coding--all cars have a body and a top color. For the coupes and Cayennes these will be the same.

Seeing as the two events are only a month apart and about 100 mile difference in readings, maybe a reporting error?

Missing a lug nut on passenger side front wheel. I hope he isn’t driving around like this.

Passenger side exhaust hanging a little low. Maybe time for new motor mounts???
