This thread is for documenting bad deals on Porsches. It is to help those new to the Porsche community who are car hunting. It is also interesting to see what people sometimes want for their heap!! I am not out to embarrass people or make fun, per say but people are always stepping outside the boundaries of what is a good deal.

Not a terrible price, until you see the rust bubbling out from every corner. Ouch!

Sure the price is low, but what would it cost to make it right?

That's a speed hole, when driving at high speeds, the wind whips in there to hold the car down on the road, it's a Porsche option for only the few selected cars. Mine doesn't have that option ;(

The engine and tranny and wheels might be worth the price, but the body has cancer.
