Autotrader Woes
Hello all, new member here. Past owner of 912, 911, 911T, 911S, Carrera, 930 and 935. I had my own indy shop, closed it all in 2002. Now I want to have a Porsche again.
I am trying to buy a 2002 Porsche Carrera C4S listed on Autotrader. I have logged in on Google (as required) and sent messages about a car, a C4S that I like. I asl usual questions, about service records, IMS, RMS, suspension, PPI, and so on.
Zero replies, no activity from Autotrader or "private seller". Very disappointing, JMO. After all, a C4S doesn't grow on every tree. If you want one, then you have to look for one across US. I want one "South of Mason-Dixon Line", meaning generally warmer climates, no snow-cold winters.
Anyone have any clues about zero response from Autotrader? Is there something I am missing? The internet is full of "dead-expired" ads, so that is a possibility. I don't trust it, I did buy a Carrera at long-distance, but I had other Porsche-folks-members go look at it and give me a general idea of condition.
Any help anyone can offer is appreciated. Thanks. (Ps - Anyone near Savannah Georgia?)
YMMV

No reply from AT. Typical internet BS.
BTW, I am looking for a 2002-2004 Carrera 4S, coupe, manual, NOT black or red or dark blues. Service history, IMS, RMS, Clutch ~50k miles, PPI prior to purchase.
Where? - prefer below Mason-Dixon Line, no snow winters. I am in SE Idaho.
Thanks for looking.
