Hmmm this is fairly clear, only thing that somewhat bugs me is the Reno part... that's a bit odd.

It was a trade in so don't have any on-hand I can easily get them for a buyer. I'm sending it to my Porsche shop for a oil service tomorrow. Thank you for your interest

Amir

Thanks for the report. Is there any maintenance paperwork with the car? or was any kind of inspection recently completed?

I'd prefer to deal over email at the moment, still at work.

Thanks,
Max

Hmm not sure what to make of it...
Not good or bad...

But what the hell is a car broker? Fancy name for a dealer?

 

[BP11]

Sounds sketchy. Intstead, I think you should take your money and turn your TurDI into a coal-rolling version of plac's GTIguan. Full exhaust, tune, big turbo, and tig sprangz.

Wouldn't that be like a guy who sells on consignment? Meaning title is not in his name?

Sure it sounds sketchy but the price is baller. If the car checks out, hasn't been wrecked, mechanic oks, and......ISN'T STOLEN.....hey, 0FG.

 

[PetrolHead]

That's what I thought, but he said that the car was a trade. From who and for what? Wouldn't a broker selling on consignment not have a traded car? Sure, if everything checks out, go for it. Just some strange things to be cautious of.

Agreed 100%

On a flipside my stepmom turned in her lexus SC430 to a "broker" who then sold it about a month later... she then used "him" to buy her new Q5. He is listed as a car "broker" and not a dealer.

I mean I am ok with the process the price just seems cheap... and the name "amir" ...

They probably act as a broker for some wholesaler who buys/sells at auctions and flip. They are the low end of the retail car buying experience.

Max,
Just troll porsche buy/sell forums til you find the right one.

I do... normally they sell for more than 30k if under 50k miles... this one is just a pretty hard to find color/option/mile/price combo...

Worth checking out at least. Amir is a common name out there, no? Why let that bother you?

It's SayaGTI moving stolen cars out of his gas station in Arizona....
