One thing that jumps out at me is the shot of the inside of the passenger door. On the upper rear corner of the airbag panel, on the armrest, and on the grab handle there are some spots that appear to be blemishes. My guess is that they aren't and if so you should clean it up and retake the pic. If they are blemishes, call them out in the text of the ad appropriately.

The other thing about that pic is that it doesn't have a sibling for the other side. Why one side and not another?

Some well lit close ups of the front end to show its current state (e.g. rock chips) and shot of the engine bay could be good too.

The bit about the IMSB is tricky too. I get what you are trying to convey, but "so you don't have to worry" could be taken by someone knowledgable that you are trying to pull one over on a less educated person. I'd just leave it as something along the lines of "the IMSB is still the factory dual row bearing". No matter what some will see that as good and others will see it as bad. You'll just have to decide your position when they start trying to negotiate on that point.

Looks like a nice car though and I think the price is about right for this time of year.

Thank you gnat... I changed up a couple of things in the ad.

I have a ton of pictures but craigslist only allows 24 so I tried to mix them up a bit. I used to be able to link photobucket on there with html coding to list unlimited pictures but it wasn't letting me do it this time.

Might be a tad high, but for a metro blue interior with aero and desirable suspension I don't think too much. Maybe $25k is right.

I really don't like those wheels though.

Seems like a decent price for someone that isn't afraid of some miles. Interior wear looks about as expected in the pics. Surprised that a Porsche dealer can't be bothered to replace the headlight washer caps that appear to be missing...

I will say, however, that this dealer likes to price things high so that it is as low as it is could suggest that there is more to the story. If it was anything too bad though I'd expect them to have pushed it off elsewhere.

If you are seriously interested in it, it's local and I can go lay eyes on it for you and plug up my Durametric to it if needed.

Damn. I thought your asking was right on the money.

Congrats on the sale though.

Yeah we were agreed on $21k but the PPI came back with a couple oil leaks so I took a grand off. I probably could have gotten more... I have had some interest in the car... but I'd rather just sell it and move on.

Hey, there are only two voices that matter on the price. The one making the offer and the one accepting it. As long as you are good with the price, then it's a good price

The rest of us are just a bunch of ninnies making it up as we go

Very nice! That's exactly what mine would look like if I'd get off my *** and paint my burnt up calipers.

Seems a little pricey for knockoffs, depending on their quality, but contacting them for more information. If there is no safety rating information on them I'm not sure you know what you are getting.

Thanks for posting it.
