Another 911 came up on my search a few months ago at this place, and a quick google of the VIN showed it was salvage as well. The VIN search showed the salvage yard where the car came from. They must specialize in that type of cars.

I think you’re right, but they often try to pass them off as clean cars according to the reviews.

Exterior: Speed Yellow
Interior: Black Sport Seats
BASE 911 Carrera
342 Heated Seats
407 19" Sport Design Wheel
480 Manual transmission
619 Bluetooth Interface for Mobile Phone
640 Sport Chrono Package Plus
680 BOSE High End Sound Package
686 XM Radio
810 Floor Mats in Interior Color
870 Universal Audio Interface
AP Black Sport Seats
P77 Leather Sport Seats
X4 Speed Yellow
XAA Aerokit Cup

these specs are almost identical to one that was for sale at Tom wood Porsche in Indianapolis and I believe Ryan got a hold of it within a day. I think Ryan listed it for 67k after buying for 55 a year or so ago (+/-)

I have a hard time believing this car will sell for $85k but I've been surprised before. Has a couple nice interior bits but otherwise mundane. Low-ish miles, but $85k?

I agree with you on that one. $85k is ridiculous for it. Even with the low miles - seems like a car you'd expect to see listed below $70k...

But - who knows what will happen in this market...

Am I missing something here?

That's an unusual build for a base Carrera - a really nice one. Low miles. Very clean.

The fact that it's a Cab located in Ohio in the middle of the winter has not helped it. And at $55k, it's no bargain.

I just picked up a 2 owner 2011 C2 Coupe, PDK with 93k miles for $31k. Nicely equipped too, with factory PSE, Chrono package, heated seats, PDLS , dimming mirrors and the nice later turbo wheels. Car needs tires and some maintenance, but overall a nice clean car and a great driver as I intend to use her for DD duties. When taken care of, these cars hide their mileage very well.

Love it and the Turbo II wheels. Sound as if you got a heck of a deal

You have to dig a bit through their listings but if they're offering below market on anything, it's almost guaranteed to be salvage. I'm sure there are some success stories out there about buying salvage titles. Not for me.

I think I put this in the wrong area at first....found this one. Interesting one here. 2008 Turbo Cab. Kinda far from me though, 500 miles. Looks beautiful, well maintained, coolant pinning done, exhaust/tune, garaged, etc.... 45k miles. Inside looks nearly perfect too, unlike that last one I drove that looked like all hell broke loose in the interior...

seems rather overpriced for a tiptronic convertible turbo. Not a lot of broad desirability there unless you're into that odd combo.

Price a bit high, but that is pretty much the exact combo I was looking for. Blue/Blue/Tiptronic/Cab. Overall though, the car looks great, has the cooling work done, exhaust, tune, brakes, and the interior isn't garbage like the one I drove this week for $58,000.
