"VERY WELL MAINTAINED ALL RECORDS AVAILABLE. ALL SERVICES UP TO DATE. RECENT TIRES X50 TURBO PACKAGE UPGRADE 444 HORSEPOWER FULL LEATHER TWIN TURBOS AERO KIT.RUNS AND DRIVES LIKE NEW.CLEAN TITLE.PREMIUM SOUND."
This description doesn't match the car physically, as the blue car in the ad isn't an Aero car. Would need to see the Frunk Sticker to confirm X50 option.
That being said, a 90K mile X50 car in ANY color that checks out mechanically and on Carfax/Autocheck is a really good deal @ $32K. Definitely need more info though...maintenance records etc.

Car should definitely be checked out in person or with a really good third party PPI. Seems like a deal that is too good to be true.

A 996 turbo that is comparable in price to a similar 996 c4s is always a cause for pause. Guarantee this car is hiding something. Run a car fax and get a non affiliated Ppi. If it's to good to be true....

This car just sold on ebay for same price slightly less mileage - I was surprised it didnt go for more. Just another data point for you.

It could just be needing a clutch, hoses, PS reservoir, and some transmission work, there's $15k no problem. 64 days for sale and price dropped $4,500 suggests something may be needed.

I sent them an email last week, no response. Car dealer is a consignment shop based on their limited website. Ran the vin and the interior is Metro blue not black as the pics appear. Lots of ???'s but who knows at this point.

Keep looking for a lower mile car unless you plan on keeping long term= car is shaky in my opinion. Not the kind of car to gamble on and cheaper to buy a nice car with records. Nice cars are for sale here and elsewhere keep looking.

In my experience, a sloppily worded, messy ad typed in all caps all but guarantees there's something ****ed up somewhere.

Nice color combo. Dealer probably has about $30k into it. Since it has been sitting on the lot for a couple of months, he's probably ready to wholesale at auction but lowered the price significantly to try to get it sold and make a small profit or break even.
I would definitely get a ppi, but if it checks out, these are pretty robust cars. I prefer to buy from individuals but if you are interested then take a closer look.

I agree with Rick. Something doesn't feel right, but kcattorney makes some good points. The dealer just might want this car sold quick for a small profit.
