Why do some sellers make obviously false statements?
Discussion
Was looking recently to swap my solid, but relatively high-mileage 993 for a low-mileage, mint example. Ideally was looking for black/back.
Went to see three that were described as in great condition, two adverts claiming that were collectors standard. Reality could not have been further from the truth. Last of the three was the worse. Claimed mileage was 35'000 km but from the state of the car and the seats it must have been closer to 130'000 km. Seller had failed to mention that the clutch was knackered and was slipping (like they all do at 35'000 km!!!) Biggest joke was that the sellers were asking a premium of 50% over market!
Why do such sellers do that? Do they think that potential buyers expecting a perfect car will turn up, see their sorry example and be satisfied?
Fortunately the last and fourth 993 I saw was being sold by a Porsche dealer. 37'500 km (documented) and looked and drove like new. And it was much cheaper than the others (although still at a premium to the market). I bought that one.
