Below 25k. Have not verified, could be a scam.

Your only hope for a "cheap" Mezger is the 996TT. I suspect that won't last forever.

I would totally drive that car. It has good options (xenons, sport seats, short shifter, Carrera Sport wheels), well maintained with records, and seems to have been owned by a knowledgeable PO.

If that was a ragtop, I'd go look at it. Commuter miles are pretty easy on a car. I can't imagine it lasting very long.

This has been for sale for over a year. It was 40k at one point.

2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S Clean Title

I suspect something is wrong with it. I think I Googled the number once and it came back as a dealer. Or maybe a scammer...

Some sort of scam prospecting for phone numbers? It's at least $5k too cheap, very well equipped, and lists a lot of good maintenance done. If it's for real, go buy it!

If this downtrend continues, I may be in a 997 sooner... Hopefully lucky enough to avoid the IMS issue.

Same ad, reposted: 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S Clean Title

I should call them and fish to see if it's a scam.
