This Boxster I posted a link to has been for sale for ages. As soon I have posted the link and its spec to ask peoples views on it someone has bought it unseen.I hope it blows up on you.
I will never again post a link to a car that I think is a good deal.

If you wanted to buy it, why didn't you put a deposit down on it?

Otherwise what's the problem?

Hmmm.. so you post a link to a Porsche on a Porsche forum and somebody buys the car from under you. Going by the replies in your original thread it seems unlikely that the buyer was on here, even so, first come first served, live and learn.

To say that you hope that the car blows up on the new owner kind of says it all.

Didn't buy it straight away as the salesman was letting me and my wife test drive it today. Couldn't test drive it on the day I went to look at it as it had a flat battery.
Why am I a strange person?

I looked at that car (online only mind!), so bear in mind you may have dodged a bad one anyway. You were after a second opinion because it DOES seem a good price.

Shortly due a service, £475 a year VED, been SORN since 30/09/13 so not been run much. (It is a 2009 year 58 reg though, as if that really matters?)

I think unfortunately it is the risk you run when you give too much information away. C'est la vie

Might not have been any one here, if you went to see it leave a deposit subject to test drive.

For your post to make any sense, you must think that:
  • all Porsche buyers read Pistonheads;
  • all Porsches for sale are only advertised on Pistonheads;
  • all other Porsche buyers are incapable of sorting through the classifieds for themselves; and
  • posting a link on an open forum to a car for sale somehow gives you 'dibs'

On the bright side, it leaves you with plenty of money to get that victim complex dealt with.

They're hardly a rare car, just find another one.

A cheesy (but also very true) sign seen in a dealers years ago:

"The car you saw today and decide to buy tomorrow is the car somebody else saw yesterday and decided to buy today"

Could have been the best car you never purchased........or the worst you ever did..Not rare so take your time and get the best you can afford. Good luck with your search.
