Good luck in the hunt.
Just for fun, look up the price on the front OEM aluminum brake calipers on the 74 -77 930 on Pelican - $2840 each. $850 for the steel ones for 78 and on. And the rears are about $850 for all years.

Ask the man who owned one...

BTW, if I bought another 930 - and I may yet - I would only buy an '89 because of the 5 speed. But in my heart I lust for the '94 3.6l

I wonder what makes you change your mind? What Steve told you, if you called him? I am kind of thinking about letting my belove carrra go to, even though it's "bother" me.

Hi Michael,

I noticed that you have no bids yet and I know most of them come in during the last few minutes. I would be curious to know though, if you have been getting a lot of requests for information from the ad.

Also, I noticed you had both a starting price as well as a Buy it Now price. This may scare people away. If you have a buy it now price, you don't really need a starting price as people know what you are expecting. I find that bidders like to start low regardless of buy it now price, but once you have a few bidders, people think the car must be good because people have bid on it, and that attracts attention. Just my 2 cents and I am no expert.

Unfortunately it is the sign of the times, never mind the time of year. If you can't eveb get a bit on ebay for a carrera at 12G gives you a good indication of the used specialty car market right now. I think a year ago that would have been snapped up .

This is my first time selling on ebay. I probably should not have done the buy it now thing. No one has asked for additional information. If it sells, it sells. If not, I have a 911. Either way it is good. In about 24 hours I will know.
