Beware of this listing on eBay 87 White Coupe

Porsche 911 2 Door Coupe | eBay


Miles are phony. I think this seller is a member here, maybe he'd like to comment?

Looks appropriately disclosed to me.

The title of this thread on the other hand is typical PP peanut gallery alarmism.

The item specifics lists the car at 44k miles.

So yes, it is misrepresented. Blah blah buyer should've read full description, etc. Sure - it's disclosed at the bottom of the ad that it is in fact 130k, but the mere fact that they put 44 for the item specifics shows their true intent - and as the other thread shows, it ain't to sell quality cars.

Still no takers. Maybe if they were a little more clear about the real miles people would consider the car more?

I'm not seeing the problem - Actual miles are fully disclosed...

Any sort of odo issue is going to scare off 50% of buyers. No one wants to see 130k in a listing and 44k on the physical odo.

The correct way to sell this car is to send the odo to Hollywood, and have them set it at 130k. All you then need to say is "Odo was replaced and was set to reflect actual mileage. Carfax will back this up"
