I go mine a few weeks ago from a facebook add that seemed like a scam. come to find out it was not. i ended up getting it for $32,500 with 42k miles not 44k. he could have gotten so much more on cargurus or bat.
picture of the facebook add / picture when she came home with me..

it’s been for sale forever. On cargurus for 268 days. It’s also 4wd which is a negative.

As long as there is nothing wrong you got a heck of a deal. I have not seen one that low with those specs ever. I hope the seller doesn’t know something you do not.

That's probably $10k less than Carmax would've given him. World's biggest idiot, or something wrong with the car...and even then still world's biggest idiot. Congrats, I think.

I'm supposed to be going to Porsche of Littleton with a buddy tomorrow so if anyone outside of Colorado is interested in this one, let me know and I'll give it a closer look.
Wow, that almost looks like a too good to be true price form Porsche Littleton, they typically would be asking closer to $45k+ for that car. I'd suggest a PPI. If it pans out It's definitely at a good price for the miles and spec.

Ha! You deserve your own thread and call it "Did I steal it or did I get screwed?" and let us follow your adventure. It's a crazy low price ....or should I say the CRAZIEST low price I've seen. And I say "Go you". Hope it works out. How did the carfax look? You need to keep us updated. Hence starting your own thread.

And before I forget...congratulations for having the biggest ***** on the planet grinding him down another $2k.

Hi all,

what do you think of this "deal". I really like the color, and interior combination...

Now I know the price much depends on the condition, but what should the price be with this mileage?

Thanks

I bought my 997.1 there and actually saw the two atlas grey cars he has. They are in great shape. Ron (owner) is awesome and really cars for his business and cares. He used to own one of the Porsche dealerships out here before he went on his own. He is worth a call for sure.

I agree, and I've never really been impressed with Porsche of Littleton's (formerly Stevinson Porsche) pricing on used 911's. I think their pricing on this particular car reflects that it is a base cab, but never the less, I think it's priced well.

I also think Stone Grey is an underrated interior on these cars. Most photos (overexposure) make it look lighter in color than it really is. And if I were looking for a cab, I would prefer something other than black.

This is a scam. I've flagged multiple times. But still shows up.
Some red flags: VIN doesn't match car (but it's close), doesn't show license plate, doesn't actually show VIN and mileage, dealership is out of business.
