Also he is really pressuring my dad to buy this car today. He says dealers offered 60-62 and they will be able to sell it for 69 no prob.

A phone call is worthless. They can flat out LIE to you and then, once you've bought the car there is no recourse- you WILL sign a document that says "the entire agreement is here in writing and nothing that was said has any legal weight" (you know what I mean). ANYTHING he says that you rely upon to make a decision should be in writing- better yet, have a real Porsche dealer do a detailed inspection.

He is NOT A DEALER... a "dealer" is a company that represents a manufacturer (ie Porsche or Ford or whatever)... he is a used car lot. Which makes him a used car salesman. This business of "high end car dealer" makes me nuts.

This has all kinds of warning bells for me... good catch on the two services at the wrong mileage and done together.

Sounds a little cheap. Make sure you test drive the car!

Or you can just buy mine. Not a X50 but better. A EVOMS GT 700.

I agree, it sounds a little bit too cheap, way under the market value. Suggest you or your dad to do the dealer inspection before making any decision.
