Hmmm... It seems that "too good to be true" applies here ?

Pics look good enough to go and check out the car, might be an excellent car.

Hi Sfbanchs, I’m interested in that car and I would like you, if you could, to taka a look on it for me.
I know that pictures can hide a lot. I'm specially concern with any accident or mechanical issues.
All best.

i was at al ocal porsche meet this past weekend and this car is local to me and i spoke to another tt owner and he went ot look at it and told me it was beaten up, sunroof would not open and had a nbunch of problems, we didn't elaboarate on it though, but he opted to pass on it.
I hate to bring this up since you and I dont agree on much, But you do a disservice to the owner of the S
and other potential buyers. You havent seen it so you cant say if the other TT owner didnt like the S owner or didnt like the color or what. Now what if its a REALLY good 911TTS for 40K miles? In this economy anything is possible. The car looks good in pictures and the sunroof is open which is direct conflict with what you have said. Unless you have seen the car yourself you shouldnt have posted what you said. It is completely hearsay.

Sunroof not opening??? Are you serious or just pulling my chain???

There would have to be quite a few more and significant PPI items for me to pass on the car..............if I didn't already own two air-cooled turbos.

ok i went to check out the car today and it looked very clean, engine started right away and sounded nice with no funny noises or anything. Interior looked nice did not look worn, but the seats were regular seats not the sport version. The PO also traded in his 1994 turbo 3.6 that they have their as well. The sunroof did open and close but did not close completely, when it was closed there was a small gab where it should have lifted to be flush with the roof. I am sure this would cause much wind noise at speed. The salesman said he would have the mechanic look at it. He did not know too much about the car, but enough to be somewhat dangerous. The engine looked clean with all original stickers as did the wheels and luggage compartment. The car looks like a good example. It still has the engine undertray. A more thorough lookover would tell a more detailed story. The Salesman's name is Badin Roller and if you are interested his cell phone is 786 873 4101. I have posted a few pics i took while looking at the car. Sorry about the previous confusion.

no problem. well recieved, also the salesman told me they are looking to get in the high 90s for it and he told me he had a strong feeling it would be gone by monday, that a doctor was coming to see it for the second time. Who knows if this is true.

I met SFBanchs there to look at the car. He described the car well. It would make a very nice driver. It has roughly 40K on it but looks great. No smoke or funny noises. (that's the top of my head in picture 3)
