Looks very nice, but it says that there is 1 accident history recorded, wonder what happened ?

Those are my favorite rims and interior color. Hell of a deal if it checks out.

Tell what? Don't even know where to start as there is nothing redeeming about it except the Yas Marina Blue color and the ZCP wheels look decent for stock wheels. The steering feel suck, feels like driving a tractor due to seating position, the car is very twitching at the limits and provide very poor feedback, horrible damping, the traction control sucks (either too intrusive or not at all depending upon situation), the seats are extremely hard and uncomfortable, the interior looks and feels cheap, the cars has a lot of creeks and rattles

I think the biggest issue is perhaps just the seating position and steering feel. I honestly do not enjoy driving it and force myself to drive it. I keep it around because I do need a four door car on occasion. A base 997.2 is much more pleasing and fun to drive. The difference in acceleration is negligible, especially with the F80s horrible traction control issues, but the big difference is driving pleasure. The 997 has much better seating position steering feel, brake feel and sports car feel. The F80s feels like what it is, a compromised budget sedan with a bunch of performance parts bolted on.

I feel like this is a good deal on a tip turbo:

2008 turbo, tiptronic, 40k miles, asking $48k. No affiliation. I personally love the color.

Cryptocurrency OK and photos lifted from a legit dealer sale = scam. Original legit listing here:

Ahh, good catch. Although for me, the cryptocurrency okay thing would not immediately say scam, as I usually say okay to that just for kicks when I list something for sale on craigs...

That appears to be an incredible deal. The car appears to have been regularly serviced at Porsche of Sat Lake City as well.

Manual, C4 and clean car fax. Maybe it has some damage repaired not on car fax. That price is well below market and car dealership usually ain't stupid.

Yep, it looks legit. Someone needs to jump on it. It seems like there was another 997 well below market at an Alfa dealer recently......

I posted this car when it was for sale a couple of months ago, they were asking $59k, has an accident with airbag deployment. If you google the VIN you will see my post on it. Now, Parkplace bought it and is asking $79k.

$6 to $9k under typical. I recently sold a pdk cab with more miles for around $45k and 2 full price and 1 offer for a thousand less within 48ish hours.

If need 60k service and serpentine belt, deduct $2k and if needs tires or brakes, deduct that s well. I would think 60K should have already been done due to age.
