This is a pretty nice car for the price, assuming its good mechanically. Im tempted but dont know if i can live with yellow long term, although the interior is fantastic!!!! Do you know who makes the front spoiler??

It's a Champion Werks 1 carbon fiber spoiler. Have had mine for about 2 years without yellowing. Fitment is the by far the best I've seen in an aftermarket piece.
It's covered with a clear coat, so mine looks pretty beat up with the rock chips. Unless you bra it, it's kind of unavoidable with an aero piece so low to the ground.

1. Lame dealer description of car. "Options installed" are all standard stuff, and seller's description says nothing. For example, are those PCCB or just yellow painted calipers?

I would ask dealer to email the options code from the VIN or label.

2. To buy a non-standard (silver or black) color such as red yellow or blue, you have to really like the color. Not worry about amount of resale or how long it may take.

Color alone gives you a bit of upper hand in deal, as he knows it may be hard to move.

If it checks out mechanically and you like yellow, price is fair for miles and especially if there are any undisclosed options in addition to the nice spoiler.

The thing that kind of puzzles me is that this ad was placed about 4 days ago and says the mileage is 30,600, But the instrument photo shows 31,815.
That spoiler really does make the front end look more agressive though!!!

great way to waste money- i had 1 - forgot the name but looked better than this 1 IMO. $3k i picked it up used with some carbon gt2 side skirts... detail shop broke it a week later. I don't know how I would have lasted although I can handle low lips. It's just a waste of money to hang carbon so far out front on a street car.

2 cents....

it does look nice.

I agree with German. Condition and other options are more important.

The mileage could be just somebody not paying attention or got driven between ad and pic.

Most important is, do you like yellow.

That car is very nice. Someone spent a lot of money to get that vehicle and I would guess it has been well cared for just seeing that it was probably ordered by customer with the deviated yellow stitching, belts, to go with the pccb. 30k for 70k asking.. What's not to like?

I love color... first Turbo I saw in Beijing -Speed Yellow. Very nice.


Now you buy!

The VIN# shows it did come with ceramic brakes.

Wow its already down to 69k...... 7 days ago when it was newly listed it was almost 75k. I just called them and they will not let me take it to a Porsche dealer to have it inspected so thats a no go for me.

Wonder why?

Boeing 717

Well he said the nearest dealer was like an hour away and they would only allow a pre purchase inspection if it was within 10-15 miles. Said the price drop was to clear inventory off the lot. It could be a good deal but when I saw it it wasnt like "I must have that" so im going to pass on it. But damn I like that interior!!!!

That is a nicely spec-ed car. Price is nice too. Shame you couldn't fine a PPI closer.

Only1Buck

what about having the car flat bedded to the shop for a PPI?

German_Saint

**** 'em there will always be "another 1".

phillipj

Sounds like you dodged a bullet with that one.. There are so many scum bags in the Porsche world..No PPI? Please... Next car please! There are a lot of yellow ones around....
