Typical ad from this site

“The seller recently acquired the car from a friend and has added approximately 1k of the just under 28k miles shown”

Why is every ad like this .. someone purchases the car drives it and then sells it after a couple of months so they can make some money.

Sorry I don’t want the car for you, if the first owner was selling it that is a different story.

I will never buy a car from this website and something tells me no one here would either.

I should really want a 987.2S, but having sold my 987.1S in 2010, I cannot bring myself to buy basically the same car over a decade later. I'd have to get a 981S, and I'd prefer a GTS because of the standard equipment. That sucks given the low supply of 981's and the few years before the 718 went with the H4.

If that's what you want, buy EQU's instead.

Good question. There might have to be a 'mudgeons auction if it is

He mentioned something about it being a waste to own since he doesn’t drive it much...so, count down until he sells it!

I'm not generally in the camp of massively overpaying for questionable cars, so I'm pretty confident I agree with you here.
