what is funny...they get the car for 28.5K and the list it for 44.9K and they can not even put tires on the car.

He was willing to gamble and buy it now. I guess most of us would not have hit that button with out more info.

Yeah,they beat me to a few as well.So frustrating and annoying...especially when you see them making a huge profit off em

I would have bought that car for $28K (or whatever it sold for) sight-unseen. No question.

Tidy profit (minus the $10 worth of armor-all)

hate to be the conspiracy theorist here...

and don't know much of that seller (to I do recall seeing one of their real pretty Aventurine - IIRC - cars w/ branded title being disected here recently)... but will say that they at least seem to have some pretty impressive cars there... and... that their photography is fabulous. I reallllly like some of the angles they capture and depths they shoot at... they definitely get it. I tend to shoot similarly.

anywho

my point is...

EDIT: d'oh, sorry, I see... I remember that private sale ebay ad now, and see that it's TG's live auction currently... need moar coffee. I do wonder if the seller actually sold it for that, would seem odd but sure yeah some folks don't care or need the $ or know better I suppose.

Sorry it got scooped from ya...

Neat car! I can't imagine having a yellow car but it looks fantastic (tho I could do w/o the hotdog motif... ketchup calipers against the mustard paint).

I gottttttta stop looking @ these f'n S Coupes... really I do. Siiiiiigh...

pardon my ignorance, but didn't 96 C4s' have a painted rear split spoiler? or was that later models?

This yellow one does not have it painted...

You are thinking of the C2S

I know someone who flips care frequently.

The key to buying a car like this at $28K is:

- being ready to buy on the spot (a good deal will be sold quickly)
- assuming some risk with your purchase

And that's how it works in a free, transparent market. If you're buying on price, buy on price. Not like there's one of these non-retail priced cars hiding around every corner.

Its how they make a living, I would expect them to be good at it.

OP, at least they brought it to your state. Now go and take a look at it at least.

I was actually tempted to buy it myself when it popped up but was literally 5 minutes too late. At least now I don't have to explain to the wife why we need 2 WB 993s... And I won't have to spend the winter transferring half the mods from my C4S to that one, hehe.

But I have some business to take care of in Paramus on the 26th so I may swing by the place and check it out...

BTW, browsing through their inventory I found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...item19d767452d

A 997.1 C4S for $35K. So looks like 997 cars with similar miles are going for less than 993s at this point... Now I may really stop by and take a couple of these cars for a drive.
