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.

THIS IS THE EASIEST EXOTIC CAR TO OWN!
Now, I'm not saying that what I am about to write is true in this case, but I felt that I had to raise a flag.
There are a lot of scams being performed right now by people selling their cars under the pretext that they have to "deploy to Iraq" Do a search and you'll see what I mean.
Here we have a new user (not even a member) that on his first post is posting his car for sale (against forum rules) under the pretext that he has to deploy to Iraq.
Anyone seriously considering this car should proceed with extreme caution.
This user is an unproven entity with no history here at RL selling his car in a manner that is currently being used by scam artists.
Buyer beware.
And why does the car have a blue center console, plus gray or blue floormats on a Forrest Green Metallic car? Is it horrible taste, or perhaps a different car?
Man do you blame him for not checking back? How many people told him he couldn't post a FS without being a member. He wouldn't have a clue how to delete the post and he's probably in Iraq by now. How long you figure it was FS on autotrader before he came here?
It never hurts to be skeptical, and rules are rules; it reads like any other Car FS scam I've seen. You can look at his other auctions as well via the eBay link posted.
Some of you guys are incredible jagoffs. This soldier posts a for sale because he's being deployed including a phone number - a freakin scammer will not do that. Then you beat on him for no membership and the conspiracies about the color of the console. For God's sake - the console is at a different angle than the dash and caught the light differently.
ArmyPorsche - I'd love to pay your membership fee to Rennlist to make these guys feel better about your ad. Please email me at

and let me know how I can do so. Thank you for serving my country and please be safe over there.
It's probably the lighting. The center console, and some dash and door sill pieces on the 99s came in a textured dark grey plastic, but could look blue depending on the lighting. To the touch the surface had much more "tooth" to it in comparison to the smoother black plastic that came on future Carreras.
IMO the grey plastic that was used was much nicer than the black plastic of future models. But unfortunately, this was also coupled by the use of a strange basketball-texture surfaces. Overall, the 99s just had a lot of strange textures used in the cabin. Gotta love the full leather though.
Actually, you are incorrect. I read about a story last week with a Toyota, where the prospective purchaser did all the right things in terms of talking with the seller, etc. It was still a scam and she still lost her money when the car didn't show up as promised.
It's easy to be caught up with emotion, but the reality is that scammers are out there using this ruse and the foolish, or unaware, are easily separated from their money.
I did not say that this post was a scam, I just flagged that it was the same routine currently being used by scammers.
...okay, so I got even more curious.
In one of the ads that came up on a google search of the phone number had an email address.
If you google the email address you see that this guy sells a lot of cars with a variety reasons as to why he's selling.
He has sold everything from Buicks to Ferraris. I was particularly impressed with this ad.

This one says that he owns an antique store (dated 10/21/08)
http://fortmyers.craigslist.org/cto/888345512.html
... it's interesting that as an army officer he can afford to buy and trade a ferrari and offer financing.
At the very least this is some that is trading a lot of cars.
