Anyone know this car personally? If not is there a independant porsche tech in the area ( ST Louis) that someone can recommend to me for a PPI?

THANKS!
ps- is this a good price at 37k?

There have been a couple threads about that car. It has been on sale forever.

Basically there is nothing 'ruf' about the car except add on parts, if I remember correctly so you should value it as a regular 930.

Whatever it is, it is beautiful!

That is NOT a Ruf. Just a 930 with some Ruf accessories. The price is where it should be.

so 37k is a fair deal? I understand its not a RUF vin on it but it still has some great bolt-ons. Anybody know the actual history of the car though? I sure hope it was owned by a rennlist member. Any other info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Spoke with them a couple of months ago. They bought the car from a dealer on the east coast with zero history.-Paul

It's not a matter of the Ruf vin. Mine doesn't have a Ruf vin either. It's the motor and trans. All this car has are Ruf cosmetic bits. Without the Ruf machanicals, it's just a 930 with wheels.

That being said. It's not a bad price. The wheels (if they are 10's in the back) are worth about $3500, and about $500 for the steering wheel. Whats left, is a low mile 930, which would seem reasonable at $35k if it's mint.

thanks bill, do you happen to know any PPI guys out in st louis? I seriously dont know nearly enough about the 930 turbos to buy a car without history. If it was a newer turbo I would fly out and inspect it myself. Are there any common weak points or problematic characteristics of the 930's I should be more aware of? For example the second gear pop out on 996 turbos... I have heard that the head studs on 930 turbos are weak

also I have heard this car has been discussed on rennlist before...I searched and cannot find any threads on it, can someone kindly point me in the right direction? Thanks for all the help!

I'm in Miami, I don't know anyone in that part of the country. If there's a dealer close by, just have them do it. Maybe someone else on the board will chime in.
