Hmm, i may have to take a look at that one, although the last white 951 i looked at had a ppi come back saying it needed $14,000 worth of work done to it. ( no typo, $14,000 )

This one sounds better though.

Cute Kid, Where abouts in Canada are you?

If you go back to that "86 or 87" thread, there are a LOT of folks that think the '86 IS the best year. One of the feasons is Fuchs fit them and that car already has them. The price looks even better when you consider that the set of wheels could easily go for $1000 US.

Cad$12,995 = US$9780 at today's excahnge rate, so not a totally unreasonable asking price. Sounds like we need a field trip to check it out. No mileage listed sounds suspicious, though.

Wagz, was that white one you checked out in Langley with colour-matched white Fuchs? If so, I backed off of that one a year and a half ago when the owner was reluctant to let me set up a ppi. That might explain it!

Wagz...hey, I'm in Vancouver!

This car sounds like a good deal if the mileage is not too high.

Don't see many 951 out here.....I think the price is good, since we don't have that much supply....

Buying in the states? hmmm....taxes may come out to be too much.

my 2 cents.

I almost gaged when Travis told me the result.

And ya i checked out that turbo today, well yesterday, it seems really good condition. I am seriously considering buying that car. Baring a PPI, and loan approval...it will should be sittin in my driveway soon. Oh, and the dealership...nothin but nice cars there. About 10 Z3's..an H2, boxster S, 911 Cab ( 996 ). The 951 was the 'lowest end' car there, lol.

Anyone wanna buy an 83 toyta 4x4? lol

Cheers
