Does anyone know this car? Sure looks good for the money. Even seems to have a sports package.

Its missing the sport button on the lower center stack next to the PASM/PSM and spoiler buttons. If its the original engine then the higher miles might indicate a previous IMS/RMS/Clutch job or replacement motor. Google the VIN and you should get the build date and packages the car has. Good luck

Jeez, at that price, anything you don't like just replace. That's giving it away. That's not even 996 money!

Brakes are base brakes with calipers painted the wrong color red.

Passenger seat has a weird wrinkle in the upper section of the leather.

Drivers door handle spindle is either broken or was repaired and the assembly not installed correctly.

Still is quite ​​​​​​ cheap though but looks to be in decent condition other than what I mentioned above.

Buyer needs to check this one out carefully as it's priced for a quick sale, probably for a reason.

From what it looks like, it's clean title, no accidents, but does have a duplicate title flag on the Autocheck.

What does (could?) a duplicate title flag mean?

I guess Groove is peeling the scales from my eyes, warning me off the deceptive prettiness here, and most of you are doing the same. Yeah, I know. It's a long shot. I googled 'duplicate title'. It's a replacement when the original is lost or some owner or vehicle identification information doesn't gibe with official records. So that seems OK, but maybe proceed with caution.
All your input is much appreciated, guys. I'm still hoping for someone who's seen the car.
