944 with automatic transmission? The seller is either blind or a scammer now that the weather is turning nice.

Ken, I love the description:

"1994 Porsche 911, Type 964, Carrera C2 Coupe. Finished in a black exterior with a black leather interior. Equipped with all the bells and whistles that you would expect on such an automobile, the original paint gleams, the interior is in fantastic shape, and the engine absolutely thrums with power. You will find yourself making any excuse to take it out for a run. This classic German luxury sports car has been carefully driven and maintained throughout its entire life and is waiting to charm its next owner."

Yet it's described as a 944...."the engine absolutely thrums with power" is a line I don't think I've ever heard before. Great ad!

Mark,

I *almost* sent an email to this fellow suggesting him to update the 944 in the title, it could have been a genuine (but embarassing) mistake, but my scammer alert alarm bell started ringing with the automatic transmission description!!

Classif Fail!
