3 numberplates and a disappearing Sport Chrono

[Venosta]

I received an alert from AT today of a brand new listing on my saved search.

991.1 GTS, nice colour, spec and mileage, private seller, Chipping Norton. A bit optimistically priced but private sellers often are. Looked very nice.

I whizzed off an email query before setting off for work, when I hadn't received a reply a few hours later I checked the ad properly. Hmm..

The car (or cars) was (were) shown wearing 3 different numberplates. Not totally unheard of but certainly odd and pointed to the pictures being taken at different times, at least.

But the red flag was the incredible disappearing Sport Chrono clock. Present in the first interior shots, the last one, 30 of 31 in the gallery, showed a clear lack of Sport Chrono and completely different seats (still Alcantara) to the others. I'd like to know what these seats are as they seem unusual.

I reported the ad, and soon it was amended - without the image of no Sport Chrono/different seats, but still with 3 VRNs.

Still no reply from the seller. I'll let people draw their own conclusions, but I am intrigued by those seats in the no-Chrono sliding doors version of the car.

The ad is here (may well amend itself again by the time you view)

And I screenshotted the picture that was eventually deleted. Check the lack of sport chrono and other anomalies on the dash. Is it even a 911..? Do I spot the rear door aperture of a Panamera??

For sure. Though no response to my query yet. Will try calling

Even if it's the same car, the pix are evidently not recent, a common practice which nonetheless is a little irritating. Not buying 2 years ago's car..

You're right, and I was wrong. I spoke to the seller, legitimate sale and nothing wrong.

What is the view here of the asking price, private sale and no Porsche warranty?

Thank you, yes I thought the price was strong. Like anything it's about how keen they are to actually sell. Interesting re the 991.1 GTS, it does sound more and more like a sweet spot.
