Came across this on CarGurus.
https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used...ting=184638925

Although it’s an auto, it has some relatively low miles. What looks like maybe a Gemballa decklid and wing? Hard to tell.

Definitely a few red flags, or at a minimum significant due diligence required, with this one. Besides the tiptronic of course...

I think that might be a scam. I see that same car posted on craigslist in my area (and many other areas around the country)

who prices a car at 28....603? where did that number come from. I always question people who price like that. another one i saw was 17401. why 401? :/

here is another scam i think..

https://brainerd.craigslist.org/cto/...362048991.html

there arent any new porsches in brainerd. they drive pickups up there.

The miles didn't scare me, but the sweaty seat definitely does...

Or somebody decided to cleanup their seats with something hardcore after recent flooding.

The rest of the interior sure looks like it could've seen some water... That and it's in TX too?

dude really?! One is a tip and one is a manual. Also you need to learn geography of Texas. Houston and McAllen are about 350 miles apart. I think it’s wrong to even accuse someone of something like this unless you have hard facts to back your post up.

Did I say that it’s the same car/owner? No, so you should relax. I’m just showing it as an example of what flood cars end up looking like.
