I have purchased from Nick. Smooth transaction and no issues. Always two sides to a story.

He called me back shortly later and said that he had committed to showing the car to someone else about 30 minutes before our conversation and could not in GOOD CONSCIENCE sell the car to me. He apologized, even though it was unnecessary, and said that if the first buyer backed out I had the first right of refusal. I licked my wounds and prayed, in vain, to the Porsche gods.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that Nick had the chance to pull a douchebag move like PF has in the past (see the seats thread) but didn't. That speaks volumes for a person's character, especially in this day and age of digital anonymity. Even without the other side of the story I'm gonna side with Nick on this one.
I bought that car from Nick (also at his asking price btw) and echo everything you say. It was a great transaction and I got a 110% good interaction with Nick - he is definitely an honest person and a great guy. No way he would scam anyone which leads me to the conclusion that Porsche Fan is likely the sketchy one here.

And, by the way, sorry about the car - it is as good as advertised and I love having it

I dont think that Nick needs any defence. I have had a few transactions with him, he has high morals. Never a problem.

Hate putting this thread back to the top, it should be ELIMINATED if possible.

Nick, I suppose you could offer to swap the lid for some sport seats.

Nick is a super cool guy with a super cool collection of Porsche stuff. As stated
in the many posts before mine, it wouldn't be in his character to do anything
this absurd.
