The Porsche Market Is Full of Liars. Here’s How To Avoid Getting Burned
In this episode of Renthusiast Radio, Will and Derek crack open the shady side of the Porsche marketplace—the half-truths, strategic omissions, and full-on scams that buyers need to watch out for. From odometer fraud and blurry listing photos to cleverly staged “cold starts” and flippers pretending they’re not, they share real experiences and the psychological games sellers play to close the deal.
Will reveals what finally pushed him over the edge into doing this episode—hint: it involves a mysteriously “perfect” car that showed up dripping oil. Derek adds tales of deceit, missing paperwork, and how sellers weaponize your excitement against you. But it’s not just venting—they’ll arm you with the best ways to protect yourself, from smarter PPIs to reading between the lines of sketchy seller stories.
If you’ve ever bought a car remotely, been ghosted after asking tough questions, or heard “I’ve got a guy flying in tomorrow,” this one’s for you.
