Whats wrong with this picture.....

Anyone else notice.....

Its obviously a Tiptronic, so why does the text say its manual in several places ?
Its not ESP (Electronic Stability Program) its PSM (Porsche Stability Management)
Text says parking sensors, where on the rear bumper are those then?
The spoiler "rises up higher the faster you go" Nope it doesn't - though depends how you read this, it implies the spoiler goes higher the faster you go rather than a set hight at a set speed.
I can't be sure, but I would bet on it not having a "sports exhaust" Porsche do not make one for the Turbo (though 3rd parties do) It does have non-standard exhaust tips on it, so someone has assumed it has a sports exhaust. If it does have a sports exhaust they should detail who its made by & who fitted it.
Says sunroof but external pictures show no sunroof (difficult to see in honesty) but there is a sunroof outline cut into the roof lining ??

Probably loads of other oddities like this but couldn't be bothered to find them.

"This legendary Porsche 911 Turbo was Caprice's Gumball 3000 car earlier this year!

With Co-Pilot Pepa, we know they didn't
'Push it' real good.... Now let's talk about 'specs' baby, let's talk about you and me..."

ROTFLMAO

You couldn't make it up

[domster]

"There's no reserve, and it has a fantastically low reserve price too! "

Another classic line.

Picky..... But you still missed:


This Porsche 996 (911) Turbo is in beautiful black metallic, and has a complimenting and very clean black (electric & heated) leather interior.

It's grey!

[gt]

and the fact that it had more stone chips on the front than paint when it finished the gumball wont have helped either

[johnnywishbone]

the best bit is missing !!! her cheecks ! shame !!

[Paul Tolliday]

Good job it's only got 2 pedals with those boots on! And who is Caprice anyway?

[Gaity]

...picky, blind and colourblind...............definitely black interior, and it has a sunroof. Lighten up guys, it's nearly the weekend.

Rump if you get it no sniffing the seats...

[softinthehead]

mind you, 25 people (at time of my viewing) have been not so picky...

[DucatiGary]

Previously Registered Overseas: Yes

hmmm..........

also, stonechips are a true sign of original paintwork, its not all bad

the pics have been taken so they are burred, I recon this car will have alot of scuffs after looking at the "blurred" pics.

[DucatiGary]

sorry, had a few beers, but I just remembered caprice and her co driver was using a M3 for the last few stops on the gumball, I think this broke on them, prolly driving too slow .. .. ..

Gaity - wouldn't you be picky if you were thinking of spending over £40 grand on a car?

[Stirlings]

one of the drivers wife at My local porsche centre went to buy a Boxster from these guys in Honiton, previously had a different eBay name, something logistics/reveivers
Car had a big story behind it,
they also think because a 98 R M3 was owned by Beckham it should be worth £60K
Dream on

There's a Bimmer for sale i cold Norway now thats belonged to our esteemed King Harald!
Its thats years absolute best Bimmer (1990). Ofcourse with hidden extras on top of that!
It costs its value, nothing more.

Caprice didnt even end the Gumball in the 996. She had to use an M3 cab as the Turbo broke down - (ragged to death)

Sounds like a mint example then

Rump, from your comments it doesn't for a minute look like you are thinking about buying the thing!

another quote from the ebay listing

"nearly unmarked black carpets"

nearly unmarked? So they are marked then!
