1 owner, manual C4S with ~18K miles and clean carfax. The price seems high, but values are all over the place and I could be wrong. What says the collective?

Many seller scams have a "too good to be true price" and a seller out of country for various reasons. I would be EXTREMELY cautious or not even waste your time.
According to game theory and evolution (women have highly evolved BS detectors so men have had to raise their games througout history) - scammers need to raise their art as detections are raised.
The obvious defect (front bumper) could be an example of that ( like a magician - "don't look at the pretty girl" )
Scammers aren't always looking to get the whole $65k but a few marks willing to send $2-3k deposits. $10-15k free money is a good weeks work.
Private sellers wouldn't have the dealer's "AVAILABLE" plate on the car and then there's this -
(It's critical to note that the lead photo (car in suburb is from 2015). One other photo is more than likely from 2017 where you can see the expiration tag on the window.

Looks like a scam to me. Not a doubt. There's a "report fraud" button at the bottom of AutoTrader

Rare Aqua Blue GTS. Probably priced a bit on the high side, but I said I wasn't interested after finding out it had an overrev range 6 about 30 hours ago (210 units, whatever that means).
How big of a deal are overrevs?

I would't pass on this car just because of the DME because there was clearly some electronic glitch that caused it. Ranges 1-3 look normal, and then you get an increasing reading in 4-6. That's not physically possible. You can't have more ignitions in range 6 than you do in range 3. Something is wrong with the readout.

That GTS is hawt. Have a Aqua Blue Met Targa 4S and LOVE the color. Sounds silly but the color totally adds to my experience. It can be bright in the sun or more balanced in the winter days. Get people stopping me often to tell me how much they like the color and car. Have had other P car owners claim in person its the best Porsche blue (obviously subjective).

It looks like you're local, so it may be worth going in person to check it out and seeing if they're willing to come down a bit in price.
