^ The previous seller did those upgrades but from reading online yes, it's an open slot that patches into the existing audio.

Been getting tons of interest from the cars.com and autotrader.com ads... but the biggest thing so far has been the eBay ad. Ends Wednesday but I have ~65 watchers and have had several folks message me that they're interested... so we'll see.

Just some constructive suggestions.

Do the pictures open to full size? They don't on my iPad. Might be good to have bigger shots.

Is there a reason you just didn't install that? Seems like a pretty simple fix.

I always question some of the FS threads on our board where they say just needs X. It's a simple fix. Well then why didn't you do it?

Those are actually the previous owners shots and he was a professional photographer... so that is all I have. I have some of my own shots as well that are there and are larger.

Just started happening and haven't had a chance. May get to do it over the long weekend coming up. I'm not good with car audio... so will likely need a bit of help too...

FYI, I removed that reference and will just get it done this weekend. Even if someone buys it I doubt they'll have a shipper here this weekend to grab it. If they do then I'll just give them the filter with the car...

omg I can't believe I missed this a month ago!!!! if I didn't just drop $15k on the house, I would have given you a call...

GLWS... its the perfect time of year...

Hmm. Would it be a good idea to give up my s2k for this?

juniorbean

iTrader: (5)

hmm... with the warranty it's tempting... but I'll have to pass

I would have loved for it to go to a forum member. It's definitely a good time of year for a cabrio. Tons of interest so far. We'll see if that eBay ad goes anywhere. I've had about 5 people say they were going to submit an offer... so we'll see...

juniorbean

iTrader: (5)

Well, with one day left the offers are starting to come in. Made a few counters so we'll see what happens

Heck yes!! Nothing to be sad about. Enjoy many cars in your life, if one stands out, you'll go back to it. Variety is the spice of life..

No luck. Buyer's financing fell through... so relisted the car on eBay and renewed the other ads. Do have a few folks who have been in touch so we'll see

Majofo

I never understand financing not going through.. it seems like a common excuse. Are they buying it ahead of loan approval? Or did their wives find out and smack them in back of the head.. I'm guessing the latter. GLWS JB!

wackjum

They are probably pre-approved based on credit score, etc. But then when the bank finds out what car it is (mileage, or year, or type), they may change the terms or deny it. This is a common issue especially with financing older cars.

juniorbean

iTrader: (5)

Yeah, I don't get it either. I had an older guy locally who was all into it and ready to drive up from about 1.5 hours away to get it, then all of a sudden I got an email that he wasn't ready to buy b/c his last kid was heading to college, blah blah blah. I'm thinking, was all of this a surprise? Everything he mentioned was a life event that you would know about for years... it's not like he suddenly found out his wife was pregnant and popped out a high school graduate, so college tuition was on unexpectedly on the horizon.

I also had one guy try to negotiate by saying his credit union would only finance like $24.5k based on NADA values. I'm like perfect, give me $4k cash plus the loan and we got a deal. Nope, he was trying to finance the whole thing. I basically told him he could probably find a nice late 90's coupe in the low 20's, but that if he was looking to do 100% financing, he may want to wait to buy a Porsche

People are weird...

RPhilMan1

I say that all the time. People sure are strange.


Sorry the deal fell through. I hope you find a true reputable buyer soon.

^ Thanks. I've had a few others reach out and looks like one will be coming to look this weekend... so we'll see...

Where the hell is all that disposable income I was promised on college.

Good luck with the sale. If you still have in in 3 years I'll call ya.

if he still has it in 4 months, its coming to me...

iTrader: (5)

Thanks guys. Had someone come look at it yesterday who seemed interested. It's for his dad (son lives near me, Dad is near Clemson). Said he was going to get his dad up here to see it, so we'll see.

Had another from DC reach out who was interested today... so people are still reaching out. Just need to find a cash buyer so I'm not relying on someone getting financing...

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

You would think (or at least hope) that most people would get approved before reaching out to you. Not all lenders need to know what vehicle you're buying to be approved.

That's annoying. Sorry JB

You should bring it to C&C in the morning

wackjum

Hard to find a cash buyer for that kind of amount. People who can easily swing that are more likely to just buy new or newer.

For people of more modest means, it is a large enough amount of liquidity to give up. I'd much rather use the bank's money at the >1.5% rates out there these days.

But it is also tough because you're a private seller. I had some issues and ultimately had to pass on an NSX because I couldn't find financing. They just weren't willing to go because of the age of the car and the fact it was a private transaction. It had nothing to do with my credit worthiness, etc. Of course I also didn't lead the seller on. I test drove it and then said I'd get back to him if the bank would approve.

Good luck with your sale.

Such a clean car! Can't believe its still for sale

juniorbean

iTrader: (5)

Thanks all! Unfortunately I missed C&C this weekend as I was at the WKA Nationals at Carolina Motorsports Park. I actually drove the Porsche to the track and have to admit I will miss it when it's gone. Such a nice ride

I have had two more people reach out, both would be cash buyers and both said they'd have an offer this week, so we'll see.

GL JB on the sale. Somebody will be lucky to own it.

charliemike

The internet has created a disassociation for people in that they don't consider the responding party at the other end of a conversation to be a real person. So they just kick tires and jerk people around because they're bored or irrationally dreaming or whatever.

It sucks for sellers because this is your time being wasted on someone who isn't a serious buyer. But the "buyer" doesn't care ... They got to dream about buying a Porsche for a day.

Sure, there are serious buyers that find out more about the car and cross it off their list. But someone like the guy with a kid in college wasn't being honest with himself and wasted JB's time for no reason.

nokiaman

Best of luck with the sale JB, I hope one of the two offers pull through this week for you.
