Something you would smell in 7 yr old leather. Nothing fresh.

Funny how they were telling me wear could depend on size of the person. Certainly correct statement, but not within 300 miles...or perhaps yes..?

Sounds like someone's replaced the dashboard & instrument cluster.

seat wear/smell is from hoochies getting pounded on lunch breaks, lots of trips to the top of the parking garage covered in 300 miles.

Car was being washed as I was arriving and it STILL was dirty and I can only assume worse if you looked at it before the wash.

Accordingly to them, it was a corporate fleet used by Porsche NA.
Well it was several years of sitting outside without use. It was put in the stop-sale/buyback diesel holding lot along with a few other gas units by mistake. These were found during the resolution audit and offered up. Passing on it is a pretty good choice.

That's pretty wild. How could even a parking lot attendant not notice the difference between a diesel and a gas engine?

I once bought a Peugeot 405S wagon for a song after Peugeot decided to stop selling new cars in the US. It was a 'demo' car used by some exec at the US HQ. 450 miles. I paid almost half list price.

Of course then I had a car that was no longer being sold here...

What parking lot attendant? This wasn?t at a dealership, but rather at an enormous staging area with 10?s of thousands of vehicles stored. Access to and movement of the vehicles once inside was very limited and it wasn?t worth the difficulty to go through the red tape for a handful of units offloaded from the transporter by mistake.
