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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This has piqued my interest. Seems quite cheap so not sure if it's hiding any problems. Has anyone come across it? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325178308697?hash=item4bb6233859:g:5vMAAOSw2oliA~cA Thanks in advance.

Only 25k? You have to wonder what they bought it for!

POST 3Original post

It's been on awhile (last year) looks nice for the money, will come with 3 months warranty of you buy it, take it straight to a indy are see what needs doing and claim under warranty.

POST 4Original post

You have to question the wisdom of buying any prestige car from an outfit with the name 'Kash 4 Kars' though ! As said before it's been for sale for absolutely ages and although it presents well in the images the only true way to find out if it's a lemon is to call them, have a chat ,do some due diligence and if you feel it's worth pursuing it further get a PPI done.

POST 5Original post

That's always a tricky one, when something has been for sale for a good while you get to thinking nobody else wants it so why should I buy it? But sometimes it's just that it's a hit of a niche item and not what everyday punters are looking for. As said Kash for kars probably not where you'd expect to buy a Porsche. Then again, I recently bought a turbo s from a mainly 4 wheel drive centre who knew very little about the car and had also had it sitting for several months. It was initially overpriced by around 3k but ultimately reduced so I went for it. Turned out to be a goodun, all checked out with previous owner etc. I'd say do some detective work and a bit of snooping in the glove box. Fwiw I bet if the same car was for sale with a reputable Indy and it had a nice little story about its provenance they'd be queuing up for it 😀
