They have a section on their site where they regularly post "why by X car when you can by this other car for much less". This time the deal is a 2008 911 Turbo on ebay for $53K. Anyone know if the car is as clean as the article says?

This 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo is one of the best looking models that the German automaker has ever made. With a 470 horsepower twin-turbocharged boxer engine underneath the modernized trademark whale tail, the car is comically quick, beating most exotic supercars to 60 miles per hour from a standstill. It’s also the first time I’ve seen that an example in great shape is around the $50,000 mark. Considering the car was closer to $150,000 in today’s money just seven years ago, you’re getting an awesome car for a knockout price.
If the car doesn’t have any major mechanical gremlins or issues that need solving, it’s worth it in name alone. The engine doesn’t have the troublesome IMS issues like some of the the naturally aspirated 996s and 997.1s that you see on the market today, and the car is infinitely upgradeable and faster than you’d ever need a Porsche to be. It’s one of the best Porsches you can buy for the money today, bar none
