Nice or failed attempt at a flip? 92 slate grey targa

[stutt911]

This guy nrets617 has been trying to flip this targa he bought just a few months ago for close to $20,000 profit. First of all of course he will never get that greedy asking price for a 90k mile C4 targa but nice attempt. Funny original seller noticed and bumped his thread lol

Here is his ad then the ad he bought it from

I saw that...funny as h...

[Alan A]

Is this some attempt to shame him for trying to make $ or the start of another this price makes me laugh thread?

[Wphelps]

Yes, kinda dumb listing on same site he bought it from

But the car was more worth $40-42 to me, I personally will not buy it because of Targa and C4.
But it’s good car at 88k miles
And to get $50,000 is what I think it’s worth by a dealer because good color, miles, etc

[Marine Blue]

It would be a great price if the car was well sorted but between the rust, the unexplained repaint and lack of maintenance history it’s a higher priced gamble. No record of having any suspension work done will easily add $3500 to the tab. No record of clutch, fuel lines, oil lines will add another $3k. Being a C4 adds other complexities and maintenance requirements which aren’t mentioned either.

More detail would help...

Did anyone else notice the mileage? Back in July of 2019 the mileage in the picture shows 89643.
Here we are 10 months later and his add states 88k miles.

[stutt911]

The funny thing is when negotiating with him a few months ago when he offered it to me, he told me it’s a $60,000 car and since I live in San Diego I can easily sell it for that there lol, delusional flipper , needs to work on his sales skills, reminds me of littleoldman and his $63,0000 120K mile C4 with no description or details of engine work but says “it’s easily worth $65,000” And “find one like it” lol

[Wphelps]

These flippers are hilarious really

The market now is so F up. Every swing dick thinks it’s still business as usual, but the virus really made a mess of a markets

Just to understand economics, it’s a yes supply and demand, but it’s now survival for the fittest, not pissing money away on a vintage car... be patient it’s coming fast..

Hold on, do not fall for the few that sell stupid and apply it to your cars.
There is a ass for every seat

[stutt911]

He deleted his ad after being outed lol. Seems like a “failed attempt” at a flip and not disclosing the rust and issues with the car. I’ll post it’s vin # later so when someone searches google they find the proper info, if you’re selling a car be honest for gods sake

[kt911rs]

Amen Stutt911!
I was the original seller of this car. I disclosed issues and was completely transparent.
Buyer told me he was a multiple 964 owner and the car would be well loved. Sold car for mid $30k. It was advertised
On PCA classifieds the next day after delivered. Their was other interested parties that contacted PCA complaining that the car suddenly turned into a one owner car and paint issues not disclosed.
Car and owner were banned from PCA classified for life.
I messaged him and said I thought that was a shi**y thing to do! Was asking mid $60’s.
I’m about capitalism, but be honest when describing what your selling. I could have sold it 10 times over to other Pelican Members that want to be an owner. PCA asked me to put up the original ad here to see if it would get a reaction. It happened to appear right above his latest post. I’m not against guys flipping cars, and thought the best thing to do was have monitor remove it.
Just be honest with people! This is supposed to be a fun hobby!

[stutt911]

What a scummy seller. Thanks k911rs for outing that pos.

[Vaive]

It'll be on BAT soon enough and sell for $70K

No it won’t, a c2 1992 with 30k miles on BAT didn’t even get as high as his asking price for this beat up 90k mile C4 with rust. And that car is now known and he will be outed wherever he tries to sell it, shady seller karma got him, he had that car listed on PCA a day after he got it with false info. I was about to fold and buy it for $45,000 if he accepted my offer, but thankfully he was too greedy then Got outed, I wouldn’t do business with that pos seller if the car was even $30,000

Hi Karen! Are you still holed up in your bunker wearing a facemask?

[ryans65]

Would someone please clarify the Karen thing, is it in fact a reference from that Dane Cook bit two decades ago?

Karen is the upper middle class, middle aged white woman who always calls the manager to complain. In the age of the 'Rona it has taken on the meaning of someone who scolds people for not staying 6 feet apart or wearing a mask and calling the police to complain about it. A petty bysybody wanna be tyrant. Think of the HOA lady who reports you because the lawn is 1/4" too high.

I love the fact that S-dopes 'how to sell like a professional' has one respondent. Guess who?

That's my new credo. Never to respond to S-dope thread.

Right. 928 owners "pontificating" about air cooled values.
