I'm calling foul on this being a 33K mile car. Even the passenger seat looks shagged.

crazy high price, maybe they'd get it if the seat backs were pastel yellow.
that hood color is scary, pastel yellow is impossible to match so maybe there is a story. when I checked for rust and repainted the underside wing supports, the pastel yellow I bought from the auto paint store with the porsche color code came out that color.

interesting how big the selling price, buying price and 'selling my car' price can be.
as high as 58,900 or even 50k is for that car, if someone knocked on my door and offered 60k or 70k for my 1997 pastel yellow 4S I would just smile and say no.

I still don't get why that would indicate TMU. It's only a 2K mile error and then it corrects at the next mileage report and looks like two owners and doesn't skip a beat for the rest of the mileage up to 32.4K in mid 2009 ..

TMU in the true definition of the term. Sure it might have been a typo. But why is the mileage rounded to the nearest 1,000miles. That seems strange too, no?

I don't see what's so controversial about the color.

Yeah, that's weird, but not really evidence of a rollback .. BUT, I agree, the car isn't as clean and pristine as most of us would expect with such low mileage. Having said that, my Cab was WHIPPED at 28K .. corporate lease from new and I'd bet most of the damage to the interior was already there when it was auctioned to a dealer at 14K miles. My '95 Coupe with 92K miles looked like a 14K mile car .. one executive owner commute miles. However, when 9m took the Cab apart, the mechanical condition of the parts were 'as new' with only 30K miles on them. I think a PPI on this 4s would probably show the same ...
