How does that not have sport seats? It would be tough to add them later, unless you found a really good leather installer to match the color.

The exterior of the car though: wow

I am not the seller, but I would never ask "why" for a used car, IMO cars are built to fit the first owner's needs, not the others.

I typically agree, but unless the previous owner was 350 lbs, who doesn't want 18-way adaptives? Especially a person who knew enough to order Mexico Blue?

This seems like a very good deal - not the greatest colors but not the worst either.

IKR, but I was literally hoping it does have fewer options so I might have a shot, but given what it is, I knew that I do not immediately after seeing the post

Here are the two cars I've noticed in the last 2 days

a 997.2 C4s targa on Craigslist:
https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/6590228927.html

a 997.1 C2, right here on Rennlist
https://rennlist.com/forums/vehicle-...-gt2-****.html

What do people think?
The Targa is at the top of my budget, and it needs some maintenance work done, but seems like a fair price for a 997.2. (I also want to put a roof rack on the car I buy, and that's a non-starter on the targa.) The rennlist car appears to be immaculate, but for a non-S, I'm not sure I'd call it a screaming deal. Groovzilla's 997.1 C2s, with similar mileage, was listed here at almost $5k less. I probably should have just bought that car, but it was right at the start of my search and at the time I was looking more at 996s. I've now upped the budget and would prefer to find the right deal on a 997.

I just posted the C2S Creme White I got from Airbag 997 a few months ago. I have my eye on a GT4 locally, and need to sell something.

https://rennlist.com/forums/vehicle-...coa-brown.html

It isn't bargain basement, but also is the nicest 20k mile car I have ever seen. Simply a stunner. I would love for it to go to a good home here, otherwise it will go to consignment and sell for $5-7k more. I will do a little better on consignment after the 6% fee, but I got a great price on it and don't mind passing that along to someone else.

Something doesn't add up. The VIN doesn't match the car pictured

You're right - good catch. I just thought it was the odd colors that made the price so low. For sure - that's not a PDK with black interior. I turned it in to CarGurus.

Nor a 991! Probably a scam, although one would think they would at least match the VIN with the car they are trying to "sell".

Apparently an X51 power kit car with a manual. Only issue is he didnt put a VIN and no interior photos.

Pretty sure X51 cars have a center radiator.
