997 Single Turbo?!?!?!?

What's up guys, was lookign on ebay and came across a "Stg 4 Evo Turbo 997" wtf?!? I looked on Evo's site and couldnt find anything about a turbo kit?!

"2005 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA S with Stage 4 EVO Turbo Kit, TechArt body kit, Maya wheels in Flawless condition. This is a very beautiful and fast head turner. The horsepower rating with the turbo kit is 420hp. The one big turbo produces more more power than the two small ones of the regular 911 turbo model. Please feel free to give me a call for more information at 602-614-4622.
Added options: Stage 4 EVO Turbo Kit $10,000, TechArt Body Kit $9,500, 20' Maya Wheels $8,000."

I know the car, it obviously does not have turbo in it and the dealer made a mistake in the ad.

AzExoticLover is infamous around these partsAzExoticLover is infamous around these parts
I know this car as well. The orginal owner was trying to sell it Private Party here in az for a while - $104,000.00 I called him and asked if that price and description was a mistake, he said "no"?? I then tried to politley tell him it was NOT a "Turbo" car but rather a "CARRERA S" with maybe EVOMS Stage IV package for the "CARRERA S". He wasnt hereing it and promised it was a Turbo ..... Anyways, a few days later he contacted me and asked if I wanted to trade for my 2003 SL55, I said sure! In my opinion his car was only worth 85 - 88k so I said yes and offered 3k on top of my SL55. He freaked outand said I would need to add at least 17k on top of my Sl55....

Anyways, long story short, I know he tried dumping it off to all of the local dealers and I guess he fond one that believed his "Turbo" story, I dont know how but they did? The funny thing is that this guy should know something about cars, he had some really nice ones in his garage: Bentley Flying Spur, S55, Porsche Cayenne Turbo.... Doesn't make sense to me!

I hope that the dealer re-looks at the car before a Sale is made or they may be looking at loosing their bond for selling a car claimed a a "Turbo" that is not!!!

That is definitely not a turbo. I would expect him to know more about the cars that he (or she) sells.

I contaced them when I was looking at it and they laughed! They said they dont do any such package and wondered what the guy was talking about...

I think the dealership needs to know what they bought themselves... I am guessing that they maybe gave him 92 - 94K for the car on a trade in assuming they sold him an even more expensive car. Wow are they in for a shock when they either figure out that the car is NOT a "Turbo" or the person that buys this car comes back in and sues them for mis-leading and fraud! Crazy stuff here in Az
