Understand. That kind of thing happened to me couple of times when looking for a 928.

Thought I found one in Kansas City. Nephew and I drove there. Found not only the car was riddled with issues. The only thing about the pictures and description they gave of the car that matched was the color.

Second, drove from OKC to FT Worth by myself. Car looked great. Gave him a downpayment and made arrangements to pay for and pick up the car the next weekend. He kept calling and changing the exact time I was to show up to get the car. As he had asked we called to let him know we were leaving OKC and he backed out of the deal. Said he had talked the car up so much selling it he decided to keep it. Wired my downpayment back.

After that and looking at a 928 that looked like Freddy Kruger had been through the interior I gave up looking for a nice 928 and bought a 944Turbo instead. With the idea a 944 it would sell fast when I did find a nice 928.

Sure enough four years later really nice 928 just kind of fell in my lap. Local Porsche garage called and told me about a really nice 928GT that was in their shop for a PPI. The other buyer backed out and I grabbed it.

Had both 944T and 928GT for a few months. Just mentioned I would need to sell one or the other because 2 Porsche sports cars were a little too much and a local guy offered as much fo the 944T as I had paid for it 4 years earlier. Sold! Didn't even have to advertise. Was right about being able to sell the 944 quick when I found a 928.
