Default opinions on this car?

Very little info given, but it is close to where I live, I am going to pay a visit next week and check it out. Any thoughts on price or condition?

I didn't get past the description, much less the photos. Thats to much money. Look for a private seller.

Make sure you find out the real mileage. Anybody can swap in a new speedo/odo.

Mileage is likely 101,100.

These cars can get spendy around 100k miles ( I know from experience)

Many detailed service records showing the right work being done would be neede to justify near that price.

If I'm buying, $18k is too much but if I'm selling it is about right

That's a pretty broad statement, and your experience is not typical, IMO.

So, the carfax shows 119,000 miles way back in 1996. It is from Florida. Two front end collisions, not sure how major. The car does look clean from the pictures, I may or may not go see it this week.

Any suggestions on what a fair price would be knowing the history?

Any suggestions for where to find a 911 3.2 / G50 coupe / sunroof? I'm looking for a bit of a project car, so things don't have to be perfect, but I'm not finding ANYTHING near me, and very few anywhere. Any exterior color OK as I will likely repaint at some point, but black interior preferred. Really hoping for less than $20,000. I've searched ebay, autotrader, the rennlist classifieds, the pelican classifieds, craigslist...

Those D90 wheels look hideous on that car.

Don't settle just because it is close! You might consider a trip to the Hershey this month, I think they have a large corral (cars for sale) there and many knowledgable people. Good Luck, and remmber the hunt is half the fun.

Don't just focus on G50 cars. You lose three years of 3.2 production, and some great potential buys. The G50 deal is nice, but not that nice.
