Default My brother is at it again!

My brother (who's a bit more nuts than I am - believe it or not) has decided to sell his 2008 C2S coupe. Here's the text of the ad from this week's Autoweek: I've seen the car and it's gorgeous. It has the small CF interior package as well.

"Meteor grey/black, sport seats, Bose, Carrera sport wheels, 500 miles, no rain, no sun, no flaws. MSRP $90K - Asking $75K obo."

He just is back into his collector cars (has a MB 280SL and a Ferrari 330GTC), and just isn't enjoying the Porsche enough to keep it. He's very willing to deal. He's up in CT - email or PM me if you're interested and I'll put you in touch with him.

Yeah Phil, reminid your brother that he almost doubled his money on the XKE you owned and sold to him "indirectly."

The XKE was sold and is in Greece. Would you believe he's trying to buy the car back??!!?? He owned it originally, sold it to me, I sold it to a guy in Greeley CO, who sold it back to my brother, who in turned sold it to a Greek shipping magnate. Now my bro wants it back. And you guys think I'm whacked.

I could get it at a very good price, believe me. But, at this point, I really want to keep my 996 4S. There's something very special about my car that I really love. Aside from the low mileage.

Are you and your brother twins or did the same doctor drop both of you at birth?

We were just cursed with some "auto-immune" disease or some defective car genes. We got a double dose. Fortunately, my twins are not affected - at least not yet.

No one said that the cars were mutually exclusive

Here's the ad with pics of his car. They were taken in his climate-controlled garage, which is gorgeous (as is the car). It is available, essentially new, and he's very willing to deal. Don't call the Crowley guys - PM me first and I'll put you in touch with my brother directly if you're interested.

You can find brand new 2008 S leftovers for pretty darn near that price

It's basically new, and completely flawless. He's very willing to negotiate. He won't give it away, but someone will get a perfect car at a very good price. The market is what it is.
