Suggestion

Conversely, maybe something changed with his finances and he has decided to sell, but doesn't want to seem vulnerable in the negotiating phase, so he's using the Turbo story to cover.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I know this may seem fishy but my friend is looking for a car and stumbled on one but the seller just bought the car maybe 2 months ago and states that he enjoyed the car so much that he is moving to a turbo... Of course a PPI will be done. Before current owner, the car was 1 owner car and fully maintained. All records are present. Its a nice car though but to buy and sell so quick? He is not a dealer as I have checked him out. What do you guys think? Something smell fishy?

POST 2Original post

When I bought my car it was the same scenario. The previous owner had the car for 9 months-1 year or so and then the "perfect" car popped up so he unloaded the C4S. My car is damn near perfect and I've had virtually no issues with it the last 6 months (besides my water pump starting to leak earlier this week...).

POST 3Original post

Quotes source post: 9542325

Not really. I think that is fair that he wants to go for a turbo. Has he actually seen one he is intersted in? If so then this only adds to his simply wanting to go higher in the 911 world. I wouldn't be too worried plus if he has all records and the car is in excellant shape, plus the price is right, then I would go for it.

POST 4Original post

If PPI checks out and nothing seems out of ordinary, I would move forward with deal if the #'s are right. A few thoughts here -- he may have gotten a hell of a deal on it and is deciding to take his profit after he's had his fun with the car. Conversely, maybe something changed with his finances and he has decided to sell, but doesn't want to seem vulnerable in the negotiating phase, so he's using the Turbo story to cover. Or...maybe he really just wants a Turbo.

POST 5Original post

I am in the market for a turbo as well. Have been looking but have not found the right deal. When I do, well, goodbye Red Sled. I made that decision shortly after buying my 996. So I could very well have been in the same position as your would be seller. Circumstances may be fishy. Your gut may tell you something. However,a good PPI and due diligence trumps all that.

POST 6Original post

Have you driven a 996 Turbo? An intoxicating rocket ship of a car.
