Default RS 4.0 on Craigslist (Vancouver, BC)

Sometimes for ****s and giggles I search craigslist for GT3's. Found this RS 4.0 posted Nov 29th:

http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/va...727521988.html

Doesn't appear to be in the Canadian autotrader. May not even be in Canada who knows.

Sent them a note and he says it's a Canadian car. Wants contact info before he releases any other details though.

Doesn't do me any good to know that since I can't afford it lol

But definitely a little odd.

There is only one ordered 4.0RS from local Porsche dealer in Vancouver. It is black and I know the owner. Don't think he is selling as he sold his 3.8 for it. This Ad looks strange to me as a for sale ad.

it is probably one of those ads where they meet you in a parking lot, beat you and steal whatever you have on you.

great way for thieves to get a little christmas shopping money

Id say you ask him for a telephone number and if he cant give you one then just report the ad as bogus bs

I got some info back from him (including phone number). It's through Pfaff Leasing Vancouver (pfaffleasingvancouver.com) so looks legit. Given it's a leasing company, I would bet it's not selling for MSRP though.

strange that they didnt take the extra 5 minuites to make a real professional ad. I guess If your in the market for a car like that you go out of your way to buy one. Just seems lazy of them to not make a real ad about the car. Strange also considering all the spam ads flying around latley.

Pfaff are good guys tho, they have done lots of good work for a car i owned in the past, So best of luck to them on the sale
