Coming attraction ads

Ok it appears the new trend in selling a Porsche is to put a "Coming Attraction" type ad. There is a 86 944 at the top of the classifieds with one of these ads now.

So the car is so spectacular we should all sit back and wait till you decide if it is for sale or not and maybe if we are lucky we can beg you to sell it to us? No price and even a line that states that it isn't for sale now? So why is it in the classifieds?

Honestly anyone can sell there car anyway they want but this appears to be a new trend to build up hype about a car. Why can't we just have ads that state all the info and a price? Serious sellers are just as hard to find as serious buyers.

Wow! I'll alert the media! The market seems to have cooled. For that kind of cash I think you could still find an SC or a 3.2.

That is just plain silly.....worst of the real estate agents tricks.

I would never buy a car from a person making an ad that ridiculous.

Considering offering around $18k...what a Steal!

I'm glad price was clarified up front in lieu of the drowning requests for purchase.

Maybe I'll consider selling my SC in 20 or so years, to fund the potential of this purchase

This type of ad should be considered a 'teaser' or a 'trailer' much like how Hollywood markets films. That 944 however, is 'B' movie teaser that I'll pass on.

That ad should be reported as non-compliant with the Classifieds rules.
