Might do that. What do you drive and what is your P-Car story?

Sarasota is still a drive from Ft. Myers. I will ask, but don't hold your breath.

what are you looking for - I know someone with a 1988 blue coupe that he's thinking of selling. Engine top end done about three years ago

Seems like you may no longer need the help, but current ride is a twinplug 3.4L 87 930 @467HP and previous rides included an RS America and a Club Sport.

I'm actually down with my Porsche mechanic as he's staying with me and looking for a new home in South West Florida (from NY).

Thanks. I'm sure the seller will dispute most of the findings and also not discount his car $8k!

Sorry but was wrong with the original estimate. It was not $8k, it was really $10,800 not including tax, shop supplies and Haz Mat!!!! Price now down to about $5k and change! Think the owner will go for that??????

Just a thought-have you tried calling? Something like negotiating price down is probably best on the phone.

I know I try and avoid email come Friday night. The 100+ I get each day during the week keeps me satisfied.

My instructions from him were to email the results so he could mull over them. 99.9% chance this deal's dead.
