Yep.


I can see where the color might grow on you . . . like moss on a rock.

Why not?

Rootwood would have been a better choice than the CF accents I think.

I'm figuring the green is not as dark in person, as the camera sees the silver and closes the lens a bit.

It does look like a nice car though.

Any progress Rudy?

Is there an update to the availability of the car, and if anyone here was lucky enough to be the buyer.

Classless. If he sold it, he should take the ad down. Or, have the courtesy to return calls or emails. Oh well.

I am betting it sold quickly and the ad was listed on August 5, 2012.

the ad seems to have been renewed yesterday morning....with the accident history listed at 20K miles, it's priced right...just about right to get a lot of callers. some great options on the car; but if it seems too good to be true...

that same car is listed by someone selling it for a good 'friend of his' here:

http://www.themotoringjournal.com/fe...-for-sale.html

googlesearch the cell number, it seems legit; you'll also find a recent obituary from MN for a guy with the same name attached to that number...could just be a coincidence.

Caveat emptor.

Default What's the "web-bot thing"?

No, I'm not. What is web-bot?

Is the board going to except the realization that a 42k mile 95' C4 Cab is only worth $26,000.00? Prices are dropping if this is true.I do not believe the whole thing.

+1
I was under the impression that 95' was the last year for soft back sport seats. The car in the ad you put up has hard back sport seats.It also has 93-94 rims. Again more questions/warning signs.

I believe '95 was a partial year for the softbacks. Just like the basket handle and immobilizer.

There will always be those great deals that come up now and then. Is this price indicative of the current selling price of a well optioned 993 Carrera 4 cab with 42,000 miles? No. Is this listing a scam? Could be.

Scammers write programs that scour the web looking for email addresses, phone numbers, etc to use for nefarious purposes. The programs usually aren't smart enough to discern a phone number that includes written forms of the digits. I see nothing about that ad that strikes me as scammy.

I was told by a person who ordered a Riviera Blue coupe in 1994 with sport seats that, as they waited for the car, they got a letter from Porsche stating that they'll have a choice of the old softbacks or the new hardbacks. They chose softbacks and that is one of, supposedly, 13 RB coupes (26 total cars) in existence today, probably one of only few with softback sport seats, if not the only one.

I've sat in it (the car belongs to a local autocross competitor) and it's a really comfortable seat, more so than hardback. And certainly not less supportive.

Maybe the person selling it for the owner doesn't really want to sell it.

Note the photos on Craigslist show the car all detailed, with less miles, and the ones from the Motoring Journal back in July show the bolster wear and ***** missing from the CCU. Also, it appears currently registered until July/13.

I like the interior except for the hifi speaker setup on the door panels. Throw on a set of 17" Cups wheels and you have a perfect daily.
