It's got the Spyder emblem on the rear trunk lid that's got to add real value

Proof that Porsche will build anything you want. Took 2 attractive colors for exterior and interior and made a horrible combination of the 2.

I bet ya didn't know that a 2008 911 has "remote sliding back doors" and "ample cup holders" and "can seat 8 with a middle-row seat"! HAHA!

Obviously it's a scam but check out how funny the ad is before it gets flagged!

Bummer. I had a feeling it wouldn't be kept up for long. I should have taken a screenshot.

In a nutshell, it was a picture of a 2008 911 but the description was obviously of a minivan.

It had a phone number with an area code I've never seen. It was probably an attempt to fish for email or phone numbers.

LOL! I would have totally bit and, using my anonymous email address, had him chomping at that bit.

The scam I've seen lately on multiple CLs is for a 2013 black 911 C4S for $33K. They have non-resident area code phone #s and it's diff # for ea city it appears. They'll have 1-3 pics and a desc that sort of fits but sort of doesn't. Have prob seen it on 5-6 diff CL sites.

If it's too good to be true, it prob is.

That Pastel Yellow one actually looks great.

Here's one on Craigslist that is full of 'red flags'.
https://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/cto/d/wichita-falls-2001-porsche-boxter/7021146858.html


The police officer said that it ran two years ago before it was parked. Is that reassuring?
Maybe at around $2k I'd take a chance.

I remember seeing that same car for sale on Craigslist in San Francisco about 5 months ago ..
supposedly from a "collector" ..
I believe selling price was $13 K .. and remember it disappeared/sold in 3-4 days ..

So let me get this straight. The previous owner "guaranteed the car ran when parked" 2 years ago. The current owner bought new tires, brakes/rotors and a battery, but hasn't started it himself? Yet it supposedly runs because the previous owner guaranteed it ran. Yeah, I'll buy that!

I get what he was trying to do. Just didn't work.

I'll admit that in my head some things make more sense than they do in reality.
