ebay - damage repaired boxster with identity crisis

[nodz17]

not sure if this link will work, but there's a damage repaired boxster on ebay. it says it's an S in the ad but also says it has a 2.7 engine (?). the (free) car data check says it is a 3.2 (so an S) but it has a single oval tail pipe when i thought the S had dual tail pipes.

it says the car was a cat d and has been repaired.

the seller won't answer his phone.

it's so dodgy but just so cheap!

anyone know anything about it...

feel free to borrow my barge pole provided you go nowhere near that car with it.

i know, i know....

could it actually be two cars welded together?

or maybe more likely, the damage was to the rear but the repairer fitted the incorrect exhaust?

i'm more intrigued than anything else.

It is not an S, as it has Black brake calipers too.

So the seller is either lying about the model, or dosnt know, either way not a good sign.

How do you know its cheap? Its in an auction where the reserve is not met, his reserve might be £15,000 for all we know.

Its not cheap its sad in the extreme. The only 'S' thing about it is the badge on the boot. non-standard rear valance, can't see the front, no doubt deliberate, black calipers, non-S dials, are you even sure its a 2.7? No VIN number. Its more or less a scam.

[nodz17]

the data check says that the engine size is 3.2, but yes the only thing in the listing that says S to me is the "S" on the boot!

Also cheap no doubt for these two very obvious reasons. A. it's green - yeck not a nice Boxster colour let alone Porsche colour, and B. Its an Automatic - not the type of transmission i'd be wanting in a two seater Porsche.
