That top is truly ugly. Or, as we say around my house, "that top looks like carp."

Yeah, that might not buff out. But the top looks OK, and they were kind enough to leave the tow hook installed.

Four wheel drive Porsche with the Turbo wide body and wheels. Original sticker over $112K. Manual 6 speed transmission, full leather interior, Sport exhaust, Bose premium sound, almost new tires, Full power accessories. Excellent condition with clean Carfax. KBB Private Party value in Very Good = $42374. CARFAX price adjustment = +$1890. Total Value $44264 for Private Party sales. Third owner. Absolute dream Porsche. Reason for selling, too many vehicles. Too many vehicles, the Porsche must go. Serious inquiries ONLY. Questions? Calls preferred 760-422-3493.
This one is super rare. I've never seen a C4S with X50 AND the additional intercooler upgrade. Additional insinuates it had at least one to start with. I wonder how many intercoolers this one has now? 2? 3?

Vehicle claims to be in CA, but has FL plates. Super sketchy description. No reserve. Yep, everything sounds legit

I love the big gulp in the cup holder. Wonder if that's included with the sale. Real good way to class up an ebay listing.

Have you looked at registration in CA vs FL? If you had the option to keep your FL registration and plates I bet you would too

Going the other way never made since to me, but my boss kept his CA tags on his M3 here in VA for over a year until he just moved back to CA.

So it does happen and can be legit, but yes I would look at it as a warning sign when other flags are waiving too.

Not bad looking. Spare tire is missing, the seats look horrible, and there appears to be a nasty scratch on the headlight (mentioned in the details). That scratch looks too deep to polish out which probably means serious $$$ for a new housing

Well optioned, though I'm not a fan of the carbon bits.

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/cto/5615146464.html [2004 C2, Coupe, 6MT, Lapis Blue/Gray, 2-owner, 119k, $19.9 asking]

This looks interesting, if the mileage doesn't scare anyone off. Might be a bit highly priced, but it doesn't seem all that common to find 996.2s in decent shape for sub-20k these days.

A Shareless Plug.
Sorry guys, but much as I've enjoyed the somewhat "sterile" yet wonderful attributes of this fantastic 2003 996 C4S, I've retrogressed to an 85 Carrera Cab (just gotta have an air cooled drop-top). So this incredible car is available.

GLWS looks like a great car.

How long are you willing to sit on it? As disgusting as the idea is, I think you are 3-5k high on the price

I think your car is worth it, but I expect it will sit at that price until the perfect match comes along. You could get lucky and it happens soon, but it could also take awhile.

I do wish you luck though and hope I'm wrong

Very nice car. I think it's priced right personally considering the somewhat rare color for C4S, options, low miles, tasteful upgrades. GLWS

As I said, I agree the price is good for what you are getting. Just don't think the market will see it that way and he'll have to wait for someone like you or I that is looking to buy and likes it (not a fan of the yellow myself so I'd be out even if I were looking) comes along.

Of course $35k for his looks like a bargain against that Cab for $40k

Sure the 4S Cabs are rare, but it has zero upgrades and few details compared to Curt's car.

Have to say it was fun to look, but rear impact damage and some questionable panel gaps on the front bumper have me leaning away. For the more mechanically inclined, this could be fun race car conversion/modder. Looks like it was barely driven after the accident, so not a proven driver either. If price comes down slightly, it could be a steal of a deal.
