I'm going with "the car takes RIGHT turns REAAAALLLY well"

Don't turn left.

$48K =

1) Range 5+ overrev
2) Bent chassis
3) No 2nd gear
4) 996 C2S conversion to 997 GT3

hey, that ad was pretty well written
had a genuine feel to it... usually the scammers say something like "I have Porsche. Fast car my husband doesn't want. You come buy with cash. My name is Diane. Thank you."

Probably ripped off the description too...
