Default 997.1 GT3 RS for sale 99k
Just saw this recently. Seems like a good deal if everything pans out with a PPI. No affiliation.

To start the vin in the Rennlist ad is different than the vin listed on cars.com

The old saying, if it's to good to be true! It's probably legit.

I'd tread carefully on this one...

Scams of this sort is just downright low. Couple years ago I was selling my Ducati Superbike. Some low life copied my pictures and VIN from my ad to make his own local craigslist ad. Same thing, didn't answer phone, but was asking for deposit via email. Ultimately potential buyers thought my bike was a scam because of this low life.

I clicked on the "Report It" icon. We'll see how long it takes to disappear.

The price on the Auto Trader listing is now $100K, was $99K earlier today.

The interior pics are of a different car than the one in the RL ad - no orange stitching, no roll bar.

I agree that this one is not what it appears to be...
