Well it's not you're average family four door saloon,more people having a nosy than anything me thinks. Looks well though!

I'm in the same boat as yourself, over 5500 views at this stage and only one caller,cheep as chips too but again not to everyones taste:(

It's a fairly specialised market for Porsche, as woodseb says; window shoppers dream.

Lets not forget its -50 in the mornings, not cabrio weather!

Colour combo is probably limiting interest too

people confused about vrt - road tax - fuel prices, I know first to don't apply but...

you only need one - though and it's surely one of the better ones out there.

not trying to piss on your cornflakes or anything. I'm sure its a nice car and you had it repaired and everything - but just goes to show you never know what you're getting buying a second hand car. No such thing as free advertising anyway

well spotted

all that happened that was the petrol lines were cut and the
the antifreeze lines were cut
and a few plastic panels underneath were replaced (by Porsche)
there were no panel damage or crash damage (ie bent metal parts bumper damage etc)

Anything will sell if the price is right. 27k for a 10 year old car sounds a bit steep .

Your car is 10 years old and it's a 2.5 a new 2.7 is not nearly 100k new as far as I know you can only NCT a car 3 months in advance so how come it says April 10 in one part of the ad and May 10 in another ? Nice work Tails142 It just dosen't sound like he's telling the whole truth Spending that money I think somebody would want a warranty also

Some of the page views might not be real people, they could be search-engine spiders or web-crawler bots.

Without wanting to be too blunt, your car is about 4-5k overpriced, hence your lack of calls.

Ok some general points.

Your car looks well and the photos show its good points,i dont know where the were taken but it appears to be a show room or some car related business in the background,that to me screams trade add even though its marked as a private sale,now im not saying anythinng dodgey is going on here,but to me a normal joe soap looking o carzone for any car that would set of alarm bells - its the little things.

The NCT Thing would also set of alarm bells

I recently sold my car it was up on carzone for 5 days with over 500 views and i didnt get one call,it was on CBG for 1 day and got 1 call,got no calls from autotrader and buyandsell after 1 day-in the end the car sold to a guy who seen it on the road and not in an add.

Yeah I agree the photos aren't helping you people will thing you are in the trade and are trying to pull a fast one by selling privately to avoid the hassle of a warranty which might imply there is something wrong with the car.

Therefore take some pics of it in the drive away.

Also why it referred to as having £££ of extras instead of €€€ of extras?

(A small point but since everyones playing detective today I thought I'd join in)

Not trying to offend the OP and I'm not too clued up on Porsche prices but a neighbour of mine bought a 01 Boxter 2.7 with 70k miles on the clock just before Christmas for €28k from a dealer. Granted it is Canary yellow in colour :eek: but I think you might want to take another look at your asking price all the same if your getting no interest.
