What did you find on CL today?
 

Topic: What did you find on Craigslist (or classifieds) today that's funny, interesting, or a great deal...
I just thought I'd start the thread and see where it goes. I'm intending for it to stay Porsche related, but I'm nobody's boss. :dance:
It also may do best to clip a screenshot rather than post a link, due to the transient nature of the posts.

Here's what amused me tonight, a "Porshe Boxer" headlight and a Porsche 917 ('73 VW):

I saw the yellow car lol. Someone doesn't know how to spell for that headlight.

In the last month I've seen two hardtops on CL go for cheap because the owners couldn't spell. One was in Dallas for $500 and he spelled it Porche twice. I let a customer of mine know about it and they grabbed it. Then last week in Houston a guy was selling a hard top for $300. I was on my way to go get it and he sold it before I could get there. It was on CL for three days as "boxer har top". I kick myself for not dropping what I was doing and running down there to get it.

Agreed on the spelling...I always do an alternate search for 'boxter' and 'boxer', it's amazing how many hits you get. My other car is a VW Touareg, which presents another set of search/spelling challenges.

There is currently a set of wheels and sport tires that is down to $500, no doubt because of two errors with the post. Sorry, I'm not posting the link yet because if he takes $400 I will buy them and resell!!!

On the the other hand, a correctly spelled Boxster hardtop is listed for $2500, a sacrifice according the the seller.

Here's my favorite for today....these wheels will fit a 'Boxter' as well as a 918 Spyder!!! Because every 918 owner is looking for winter tires on craigslist!!!!

I found my 2001 by searching for Boxter on CL. Not sure if it's a great deal anymore after 3 years of Porsche maintenance :p

This same ad is on every CL site from NJ to Mich. I saw it on Syracuse CL, then i went to Buffalo to check the listings. Saw the same ad, so I kept heading west to look for it. I stopped looking when I got to Mich. I wonder what the scam is?

I never thought of doing a other people cant spell search ! Off to CL

" This same ad is on every CL site from NJ to Mich. " Well, to be fair, if you want to target a 918 owner, you have to expand your reach in the US... :)

That 993 is a bargain...rear wiper AND cruise control!!! Where in Nigeria can I send the $5000 down payment???

Also if there are any Houstonians that need front brake pads...this guy thinks his pads are only $45 on Pelican. Porsche 996 Front Brake Pads & Sensors

This one near SF Bay may be a legit great deal. Probably sold already if it is... Anyone know of it? I am really feeling like a 2000 S is in my future, but I'm holding out for silver with the red interior.

How about some free gas?

Just be sure to bring enough "reservatories"!

Looks like the Coyote from the TV show with Brian Keith as a judge. McCormick & Hardcastle ??

A nice looking '98 roller. Asking is a bit high, but I'd make an offer if it was local. "Overheated and locked up."

I always wanted an 8 cylinder 986. I guess that's what the extra $10k is for.

2001 Boxster S 60k miles. For 10.5k!

I found a pretty clean triple black Boxster S with high mileage. Asking around 16,000 for a car with 90,000 miles.
While it's a bit too high for me but might be a good deal for someone.

Um... do you think that he meant KMPH? (165 MPH). Or does he drop it from a plane?

He got his ecu tuned by that irocz guy.

Says for fiero, mr2, porsche.

Anyone want to make their Boxster into a lambo?

HAHA awesome response

Not only a Boxter, but a Porche
 

Porche BOXTER 1998

Love it!

Haha! I love his 130,000 highway miles that were purely for pleasure.

I guess Florida brings a premium for a convertible. I paid half his price for less miles for my 98.

That car is actually for sale right by where I live. No way he will get that price. I paid half that as well for my 99 with only 40k miles.

Porsche 968 Boxster (SHOWROOM!!!!!!!)
 

This 968 has never seen snow (pictured sitting in snowy driveway!) :p

2003 Porsche Boxster S
It says it's an "S" with no major damage, yet there's no opening for the third radiator and the calipers are silver. The trunk has the S on it but I can't tell if it says it on the center console too. Either way, something's fishy!

The "Boxster" on the trunk is centered. The "Boxster S" should be centered.
Makes me want to get $55 "S"s off eBay and plaster them all over my car: Porsche Boxster s Emblem "s" Chrome for Trunk Lid Genuine Brand New | eBay

My to-do list is a little too long right now. Near OKC... Maybe RedTele58 could take this one on....

You up for it Rick?

The owner must be dyslexic because he calls it a 968 not once, not twice, but three times. At least the breaks are good. :cheers:

Good luck with this one.

Porsche Cayman GT4 Build Slot

I knew it was only a matter of time before we started seeing posts
 

like these. It's a shame that cars like this immediately get purchased by speculators and people trying to earn a quick buck.

That's not as S, as you pointed out no third rad and the gauges are black, the S has white gauges.

I've been casually looking for the right one over the winter months, and will move on to seriously looking soon. Aside from local CL ads, and here, where should I look?

Life in a captialistic society. No one has to buy his slot unless they think it's worth it.

I'm not going to complain because I have signed up for the 'opportunity' to purchase 1 of the 60 911 GTS Club Coupes, if I win Porsche's lottery and they draw my entry. I would buy the car, hold on to it for a few yrs, and sell it. Look at the prices of the recent Ford GTs. A Club Coupe should appreciate in very short order. Why pass up an opportunity to make some money?

EDIT: the Club Coupe starts at $130K plus any options you order.

EDIT #2: the drawing has been held and I haven't been notified. :(

EDIT #3: just got an email - 23 slots went unclaimed, 2nd lottery on Mon. Fingers crossed. :)

Wonder whats up with the Karmann Ghia in the background?

Here's a 'Booster-s' in FT Worth for only $6400. It might have been a good deal if it was Boxster S, even with the crack on the sit. Not quite meeting the 'S' standard though. I suppose you could put a base bumper on an S and delete the middle radiator.
