911 on eBay. Seems a bit cheap, opinions ?

[Bluedot]

I'm in the hunt for a 996, seen this one but something just doesn't feel right about it.
I haven't put the license plate in to check its past, just wondering on others opinions first.

It's a tip, been just over halfway to the moon, looks to me priced correctly.

125k is high admittedly but plenty of other 996's around that price range with that sort of mileage, nothing as new as an 04 though normally.

Strictly speaking, it's only just over halfway to the moon. ;-)

I agree though, the price looks about right.

Buyer beware. A 996 of that age / mileage is likely to be a money pit as with a lot of 'performance' cars of that age.

What's in that MOT report that makes you feel its about to be a money pit? A worn ball joint, worn rear tyres or was it the side lights (fuse?) not working?

Blimey, thankfully other makes of cars at 125K miles and 11 years old need nothing of the above. These damn Porsche, utter money pits.
