I'll admit my fingers move faster than my brain some days, but if I really wanted almost 80k for an asset, I'd at least proof read the the ad.......

Scary part is, it's listed as a Dealer sale........

Yeah, so I admit I stumbled upon these by miss spelling Porsche in the first place.......there's actually more listings under "porche" than I thought there would be.

Seeing as how they don't even know how to spell the name of the car, they probably had no idea how to run it either, thus they put it up for sale.

Yes, it happens all the time, an not just for Porsche. Actually, there's a really cool tool for that: http://www.misspellr.com/

That's how I got my 928S4 wheels and near new tires so cheap. I accidently fat fingered my EBay search and my opening bid got the set of 4 16x8 wheels in good condition and near new AVS Sports for just over $300 shipped when I've seen staggered sets of just wheels in same condition go for almost that in the same shape.

You asked me to paint the porch for you, only it's not a Porch, it's a BMW...
