Ad states, " 1997 Porsche 993 TURBO S - $95750 (san leandro) 1 owner unmolested 993TT S with only 4k miles. Car is mint. She is white w/tan int. If you looking at my ad then you already know all about this car. I do have pictures for serious buyer."

Wow.... that is a steal at at that price.

Wow. If that's legit it's probably sold already. Sloan would price that at $195K. Interesting enough, I went to Sloans site and he has taken his pricing off this two Turbo S cars. Now states POA. (price on application)

San Leandro is in the middle of the Porsche scene in East Bay .. I can't imagine this is a real ad .. no pictures, no real information ... I emailed him and asked for pictures, information and a vin .. we'll see.

~5 miles from my house, if it's real and anyone needs eyeballs on the car.

BUT, there really isn't any neighborhood in San Leandro that is a likely place for a car like this to reside.

Absolutely .. I'm not holding my breath .. the car is below 50% of market .. I'm betting it's a scam. Let's face it .. San Leandro is on the 6 o'clock news every night, it's not exactly 'forest park' ..

Bay-O-Vista is about 200 houses worth of a little bit more than where I am. Doubt there are more than a handful of Porsche anything. When my cousin was living with his parents and building the '73RS clone I think that doubled the Porsche ownership in the neighborhood.

(It's the area right of I-580, for those not familiar with the area.)

I'm not holding my breath either. One can never tell though Last year a local 993 Turbo S sold at a bargain price...IIRC the owner was going through a divorce...

i dont get people that don't put any effort when selling the car. there is basically little to no information about the car, not even a pic. it's not like it's a $5000 car. if the ad is real, i would not want to buy from someone that won't take 5 mins to take pics and respond.

If this is real he's the outlier. The price is just too cheap for a low miles Turbo S.

I did the same, asking seller for pictures. I was using my fingers to do the math and came up with the idea of buying the car at that price.... Its a steal at $95K USD. Wait a minute.... Okay its May and not April Fools day..

The reality of it is is that we a) don't know if this is a legit ad, b) those could be 4,000 seriously hard miles, c) the seller is clearly not disclosing much information intentionally...why would that be?

Yes, true to the above^

However those 4k miles could also be from church on Sunday which was down hill all the way .......
