I haven't had much time to play lately and decided to sell the white '01 rather than deal with the lengthening list of maintenance issues that were gathering. The glass rear window had come out out the convertible top, spoiler was stuck, fuel spiting back out when refueling, door latch-window drop problem with the driver's door, peeling paint and clear coat, speakers shot, and probably more that I'm not remembering. All of it was stuff that I could fix, but not worth my time when I have no time; especially on a car that already has a 'rebuilt' title.
I swapped a top with a plastic window onto it and replaced the Litronics with a pair of slightly burned halogen light with quickly improvised corners to replace the missing amber ones.


One evening I listed it on Facebook Marketplace for $4,000 clearly stating the problems it had. Almost immediately I had more messages from 'buyers' than I wanted to deal with. Someone came the next morning, handed me cash and drove it away.
I've noticed that the buyer 'flips' cars and trucks and immediately relisted it for $6,500. Hopefully both he and any new buyer know the saying about a cheap Porsche.
