I have just been browsing the classifieds and seen this Porsche Cayman S for sale, just shy of 20k.

The main picture and a close up show mud at the front of the car, which is white.

Why would you not make more effort? confused

I bought my car absolutely covered in grime. It's a peach.

How much more would you pay for a clean one?

The cost of a car wash? smile

I agree that it wouldn't put me off, but just think that you would want to make the pictures look as good as possible.

I cant see the issue really, its not like the whole car is muddy. Certainly would not out me off as the rest looks pretty good in the pics.
Really good drives those, unusual to see one in manual.

On another note, it always amazes me that there are people who can earn enough to buy a nice car, but are incapable of taking a single half decent photograph of it when they advertise it. It's not that difficult, surely ?

Wouldn't put me off. It looks like the owner has just used a number of photos taken at different times for the advert, rather than taking pictures specifically to sell the car.

Maybe just enough dirt on it from the drive from the car wash place.

Seems ok to me (for what it is that is).
