Caveat emptor

Confused / uneducated Porsche owner or snake oil salesman?

He says:
1. 3 times that it is an S. However, the 5th digit in the VIN is an A (base).
2. 3 times it's stated that it's a manual trans. Yet pics 4 & 5 clearly show PDK.
3. Twice it's stated that it is a V6. At least he got the size right - 2.9, which also proves it's a base.

His asking price is OK for an S, but way too high for a base.
