What gives? It even has the IMS done.

Non-S 1997 with 130k is just not a good combo?
Agree that the biggest problem for me is the ad itself. They're selling a semi-exotic convertible., But the ad has it parked under a porch with the top up, and then tells how expensive it is to own. Oh, yes, and the bra. The bra hides the beauty of the car and looks dated. It is for protecting the car, not for selling it.

The seller should get a large number of good photos, of the interior and with the top down in a pretty location. The buyer should want to envision themselves sitting in the car in the photos. The text should emphasize how fun the car is and how a lot of work has been done to get the car in top shape. Odds are that the prospective buyer will be someone young who wants a cheap, fun car, or an older empty-nester who wants a low-hassle weekend toy. Nobody buys a Porsche for the repair bills, but that's what the ad talks about.

BTW, OP, Ijust noticed you never said if it was your car or just one you've noticed for sale. If not your car, sorry for the lecture.
