Porsche

And it's not even silver or a tiptronic! Wheels are ugly as sin though, look like the bastard child of a threesome between Fuchs, Torque Thrusts, and the current black/machined bro dozer wheel trend.

That looks like a terrifyingly bad idea, it's really too bad I don't have the money for it.

Did German engineers ever put flip flop paint on a Porsche?

This particular car was featured in Jalopnik's "nice price or crack pipe" a few months ago:

Previous ad must have had more detail...

Indeed, when this car was listed on eBay a couple months ago, there was a little more info at the bottom of the description. Perhaps the seller saw the jalopnik coverage and "heard the voice of the customer" LOL.

There is a similar deal here. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about it.

The factory navigation was somewhat rare in the Carreras, and not too common even in the Turbo. This is cheap for a special edition.

It looks to have suffered a lot of ill-considered mechanical work.

Haha, glad we're on the same page here. Definitely super sketchy, but if I had the money to gamble on it...

I do remember seeing this for sale for a while over the summer, but it wasn't quite cheap enough to be enticing at that point.

The irony that a cheap, sketchy, used 996 is from Mechanicsburg wasn't lost on me

I'd probably buy it if it was close to me.

This is less than 2 hours from me and I have enough liquid to buy it, without selling anything. It would put a wrench into my plans to sell the Z4M and MGA and get a 997tt cab or NSX-t i
