14 years, 3 owners, and 1,958 miles. That's kinda sad, in my book.

Not only sad, but bizarre and kinda fishy.

iirc, Sloan doesn't really own most of the cars he sells, but primarily consigns for the owners. Many RLers have posted in the past about trying to buy from him but only later realizing that the car wasn't actually owned by Sloan.

Don't forget the companion thread for this, the "128 mile cab" for $75K.

Fishy? What are you alleging, exactly, and what is your evidence for it?

I must say, it's getting pretty annoying the way that people casually accuse other people of fraud. It's a serious charge. I hope you've got something to back it up.

Detective Noah, hyped up on Starbucks caffeine perhaps, is on the case.

Have been in Sloans shop many times. There is nothing fishy about the cars there or him. He owns most of his inventory and does have some consignment cars. He's a Porsche lover and knows his product very well; does not represent anything other than what it is.

Search the forums for opinions and experiences before buying from him (or anyone).

I'm no naysayer... all I can say is WOW! That is really cool to see one with such low miles. I could care less about the amount of owners. This low number of miles is amazing on one of our 15 year old cars, assuming it's not decrepit due to lack of use.

When a car has that few miles, its a major outlier and raises an eyebrow. If it all checks out then hell of a car and quite amazing.
