Thoughts on this '85 930?
Found this a while ago and I'm thinking of checking it out.

Well not too bad...Aftermarket radio, speaker grills, rims, wheel, intercooler, among other things.. Personally I don't like aftermarket stuff, but maybe it's to your liking.... Mileage is good...C03 option code means it was originally imported into California..Have a good PPI done, and check for accidents....On the face of it looks to be worth 35k....good luck..

I agree with “shlobeck”, I’m not a fan of the aftermarket stereo equipment. My car has similar speaker covers, they will be going with the interior replacement. Along with the PPI, drive test, and overall shake down, find out if it has records of the past upgrades and repair history.
When I purchased mine. I got the original import paperwork and bill of sale along with all the repair invoices. I felt much better about the car knowing all that was wrong and what was fixed.

Agree, history is a must... Let's be correct it's an US spec '86 model. I remember this car in craigslist LA about two years ago. It was in there for a long while...I get hinky when dealers flip/trade cars (if that's actually the case). Be careful...

Let me try to clarify....I find value and enjoyment in vintage cars that haven't been personalized, customized, or modified..In the case of the 930, it seems a majority of cars fall under this category. I think 917 brakes will do me just fine...If I wanted a faster porsche, I would've certainly bought one. To me the 930 should be enjoyed in its purest form...

Must admit, as much as I agree with what Shlobek said about maintaining the origionality of my car I do draw the line on the stock exhaust system. When my car turned 25, I replaced stock exhaust with Fabspeed, and removed the cat.
As silly as it may sound, it makes me feel better that I did it and not the PO. The performance mods are done for just that, and depending on how many owners the car has, is how many drivers have tested the limits of the cars capabilities. I have nothing against modified cars, my 72 T was modified to 2.7 specs when the engine was rebuilt.
Its a tired old saying, but "a car in only origional once" seems more and more important the older I get.
