I would love to see the history report on that one. The car looks like it has some sort of story with the cover of the fusebox off/missing. Also the bottom right fuse appears to be messed with...........

I just saw on the Manheim dealer's auction website that this Phoenix dealership has this vehicle for sale on the Online Vehicle Exchange (OVE) for a purchase price of $44,000. They are asking $49,918 (well, they say that's an internet special price and the original asking price was $55,995, but I call bull**** on that). Since they have to pay Manheim a seller's fee plus there is always a profit built into an OVE "buy it now" price, I am quite certain that they'd sell this car to a consumer for that same $44,000, plus of course the doc fees and other additional profit makers that dealers always get you for.

I contacted the seller and asked about that. Here was his response:

"that's not a fuse, but rather the port to allow you to open the hood if the battery is low. In our case, since we drive the cars so little, we disconnect the battery while the cars are in the storage building. I should have pushed it in, and re installed the cover before taking the pictures, but..............

Good catch BTW"

I was checking for a bad fuse some time ago, forgot to put the cover back on. Did ot run a carfax on the car.
Thanks for looking. Cheers, Mac
Btw you are in the KC area? Let me know if you find a good 996TT I'm in the market and live also in the KC metro.

That buyers premium is a nasty surprise the first time you bid. 5% is sales tax territory in many states.

Love all the deals here, but thoughts on another thread for parts only as I am sure there are a ton of deals there, vs. Combined here?

Ooh, that's a nice find Mr. dabulls. $38,995 asking for a Midnight Blue over Gray 996TT, 6-speed with 85k miles. Looks like they have 14 Porsche cars in their used car inventory, so not just a one-off deal for Porsches with that dealer.

Here is a reasonably priced Mid mileage car. I bet it could be had in the high $30K range. http://maine.craigslist.org/cto/5461889798.html

Wait till you see the interior pics...makes you wonder how the car was maintained technically.
