Here's a link to the ad: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/4321089644.html
http://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/4321457312.html
This is a 1988 porsche with almost no modifications, it has just over 75000 miles on it and is in great shape
The car is located in Clover, SC.
I'll entertain any rallyist with special treatment.

1988 Porsche 911 Turbo *UPDATE* Mature readers only - $46500 (Clover, SC)



1988 Porsche 930 Turbo odometer: 75000 manual transmission

**Before you flag understand this is from my standpoint how I feel, how I want my car to be looked at, if you don't like humor or honesty please don't read this. I'm trying to sell my car, MY CAR, and I'd prefer to do it in my way, don't ruin my sale and anyone else's luck at buying this beautiful car. If you're under the age of 16 or don't like car go ahead and go back to the previous page please, or email me telling me what's wrong with the ad, whether you like it or not I will continue to post until I sell my car cause I'm that persistent.**
This is a 1988 Porsche 911 Turbo it's not a 1995 Miata wanting to be a track day star and buzzing down the street. It'll go it'll stop it will make everyone who sees it stop and look, whether you're an enthusiast or going through a mid life crisis this car will get attention and make you smile. The cars over 25 years old now and it doesn't look like it, only has 76,000 miles and looks almost brand new. Wanna lesson on a real hand built porsche, it doesn't have clear coat, just layers and layers of paint until it shines to make you smile. The engine is a flat 6, there's two companies that make flat engines, porsche and subaru, if you don't want to rice around you want this (you'll get a lot more respect).
Anyhow the car is 25 years old so theres been some stuff done:
The air conditioner has been replaced (the stock one was pathetic but you'd never need it in Germany so why bother in the first place? This one has it and it blows cold, welcome to the south)
The stereo has also been replaced with a Kenwood head and some I'll be honest god awful silver door speakers but the rest of the speakers look good and the rear speakers (which usually rot) have also been replaced and look stock. (Bonus: I still have the original radio head unit! and it comes with the car!)
Has a lighter fly wheel (because I wanted it that's why)
The battery has been replaced with a gel battery and the alarm has been disabled (kept killing the battery this car sits under a cover in a garage and occasionally gets started)

For you non porsche enthusiasts and Mid life crisis readers:
This car has a FLAT 6 this engine is a bullet proof air cooled jet engine with a turbo.
It had 330 horsepower new it's getting to be old so we'll settle on a solid 275.
When you crank it after it's been sitting for awhile it will scare you, it shoots white smoke from the exhaust pipe and pisses off your neighbors and every prius that drives by. This is not a problem its just moisture and a little bit of oil in the cylinder head that's getting pushed out. (like when your wife gets mad about the yard and makes you get off the couch!)
The car doesn't sound like a V8 instead it rumbles and whistles, when you hit the gas you won't shoot forward with wheel spin, the engines over the back wheels and the car doesn't have a ton of low end torque, instead you hit the gas and the car starts to go at a decent pace (much like a V6 mustang) and then like a tsunami of fire the turbo kicks in, you shoot back in your seat, and you go straight to red line. . . this car will scare you, make you laugh, and impress any honda you meet on the street.
This has a 4 speed Manual so it will get you going (0-60 in one gear)
Mid life crisis only: This car will get that college girl you met in the bar excited, I promise it's bright red, then if you want to give her a rush of excitement and yourself a heart attack hit the gas, she won't forget. If you try to pull the hand brake for some sideways action you will be instantly disappointed the engine is over the back wheels and you'd have to either be on meth or a wrestler.
Problems:
As stupid as it may sound the problems that I associated earlier have to do with my other garage sitter 964 I'm sorry.


Questions:
Can I come test drive it?
Sure bring me something that says you can buy it if you break it or have a trusty face, attitude, and handshake.

Will you take xxx amount of money?
Yeah make a decent offer the worst that I can say is no.

Can I put a huge ricer wing on the back and cover it in duck tape?
No get off my ad.

What color is it? Can I see a picture?
It's red (RED! like georgia bulldogs red!) with tan interior. Yes just ask.

Can I get the car inspected at a dealer before I buy?
I don't care, I already have it done and tons of paperwork to find out the problem I'll let you look through all of it.

Does it do burnouts?
I don't know I never tried.

Would this be a good first car for a new driver?
No? Why would you even ask that I've said it multiple times above: Enthusiast or Mid life crisis.

Does it really make it seem like you have small genitals?
Do you have small genitals? If not then why are you worried? It's a beautiful car.

Do you insist on being blatant?
Yes this is it there's no more.

Reason to buy:
This car is really beautiful and will still put a smile on your face, the first time I rode in it I was twelve and it scared me to death and made me grin from ear to ear at the same time. It's been well maintained and has relatively low miles.

That would explain why it's being flagged repeatedly I suppose. Who's car is it, and what is your relationship to the owner?

You aren't by any chance related a a deposed ruler of a small country in conflict somewhere in the world?

Maybe write it so that it doesn't sound like a bratty teenager trying to sell a sketchy car?

Instead write it like your dad would...

Pretty much everyone reading your ad. It sounds awful and extremely immature.

Well until it was posted here no one had anything to say about it, I actually have received a number of compliments on the ad. If you don't understand the humor there is no reason to get defensive.
