Default someone might be interested in this C4S

http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/cto/4708519897.html

doesn't look bad for the miles. It looks like it has some decent upgrades. First thing I'd do would be remove those wheels ASAP. No affiliation to this car I just saw it on Craigslist and thought someone looking for a 993 WB might be interested. Not too many WB's higher mileage or not for less than $50k these days.

Not a bad buy at all, if the PPI checks out

That is a big price drop from $55000 to $47500.

It's on RL as well:

Chris, I never knew so many Arena Red wide body cars were in new england......

This one doesn't look like a bad buy. So long as PPI checks out and owner has receipts for all maintenance work done in the recent years.

I am interested to see what this sells for.

Not loving those wheels but to each his own.

I don't understand why people get so bent on the re-spray issue. A car with around 100K and almost 20 years old SHOULD have a respray! good paint protects metal- old cracked paint also looks horrible. If it's well documented and the carfax shows no history of accidents that affect the metal/body/frame, i'd WANT new paint. Maybe I'm just biased as my car had a full re-spray at 70K ( no prior damage-just spent too much time in Arizona getting faded). Anyway, just sayin'

+1 well documented respray and proof of accident free car is big plus in my book!

Let me fix that for you => car with crappy paint...regardless of mileage or age, should have a respray.

There are a ton of cars out there with 20 years and or 100K or more miles with excellent original paint. Now me personally...depending on the car...I prefer the original "poor" paint to an "excellent" respray. That subject has been discussed quite a bit on here, and opinions vary widely.

Same here because its proof that the car is original and also, I get to control the quality of the respray and how it is done.

I don't think a well documented re-spray will take that much off the price. This car is simply a very good deal and probably sold already.
