Tip for private party sellers: Take some decent pictures of your $90,000 car! If you have zero photographic skills, hire someone.

That's why it's overpriced! Trying to figure that one out. Or maybe she is $90k and the car is free?

I reached out to the seller of that Aqua C2S. Just interested in the car, but let's see what he comes back with.

I own a small business and routinely use CL to move older product: anyone would tell you that the reason they pay more to buy from me and not from some private party person is the quality of the pictures and the quality of the ad. In this case, why should someone pay above dealer retail for a private party car, when the pics suck, they are fuzzy and in poor light, and not highlighting the car? Why not just go to a dealer and pay too much? Description is horrible too: what is special about this build, what makes it a hard to find model worth a premium?

If you are going to do something, might as well do it right.

The full red is hideous, IMO. I like red interiors: my M135i had a sweet coral red interior, looked great. But full red is way too much: I feel like I am in some sort of gothic club with satan fans decorating the place. I can tell you my significant other would probably get nauseous in that car.

I would say more like 97% of the buyers would pass on it.

That has to be the worst ad I have seen. My only thought is he is trying to sell to the glaucoma crowd that is looking for a car to pull in women. That would explain the blur and pics of her.

Shame, because the car looks great. Price and pics, not so much.

Well, I didn't mean to start a holy war by posting that Aqua Blue C2S.

To get back on topic, here's a C4S I've been looking at:

This one also has a polarizing Carrera red interior. Hope it doesn't inadvertently start Holy War II .

Anyone in the Jacksonville, FL area available to take a look?

I don't know people -- the full red is pretty cool, especially with the silver or white outside. Every time you sit in your car it'll feel like you are in some porno movie. But one can get sick of that, of course...

Yeah I tried to contact that guy back in January when I first started looking for a 991. I sent 2 emails. Never got a response. Maybe it was sold last November and he forgot to take the ad down.
