^ I love it when an ad says "Metzger" engine. It shows that the seller is a true Porsche guy and really knows his stuff.

I'll bet anyone a beer that the seller also says "Porsh".

EDIT: Although I will say that's a very nice car for the right buyer. I think for the purist, it might induce convulsions.

Since I know only the finest Porsche enthusiasts are viewing this thread, I would like to offer up my car for a "Prestige" evaluation. Can you give me a likely market value? Yes, it has 26K miles, which seems like a lot compared to the examples put forth before this. But I think it can make the outer edge of "Prestige" given the condition and equipment

^ Well, first off, nice car. Me, personally, I like cars with quality mods. What I found out when I first posted about my car is that some people, well, they don't so much. They really, really don't like mods. And I'm talking about just outright hostility. They hated the mods on my car so much, one of them waged a one-man campaign to get me banned.

The bad news is that those guys are the kind who are willing to pay (well, at least they say they are willing to pay) top dollar for cars. They want "unmolested" to the extreme. That's what the prestige thread is about - low-mileage, no stories, no excuses, unmodified cars that haven't even been driven past a track much less on one.

The good news is that you've got a fantastic car. While it might not fit the exact definition of a Prestige Thread car, that's not necessarily the end of the world. You should have plenty of guys interested in it.

Nice, just what I would buy if shopping now.
How much have you had it on the track?

Three Driver's Ed days.

It's a bit buried in there under ownership history.

Thanks for the feedback - and letting me hang around with the Haupte Porsche crowd.

Any thoughts on a likely selling price?

And are there more details that are needed in the for sale listing?

$49,950 ask, take the first $48,000 you get. This time of the year, you might get a little more, but that $50k barrier is a big one. So if you want to get it sold, then I would keep it below that. If you are in no hurry and are willing to wait for the right buyer, then maybe ask more. But, you will be competing with a lot of other silver cars. I like silver, but there are a bunch of them.

Nice find. I really like the blue exterior. At 9,957 miles better limit those test drives to keep it under 10,000 for the next owner .
