Ditto on the polished Fuchs being bad ***. Nice!

To me, that sounds like a great price for a very good looking car. I hope you got lots of records and you don't have to put lots of maintenance dollars in to get it where you want it to be.

Sheesh...the more I hear about these good deals people found with their cars, the more I feel "raped" during my purchase. Oh well, I can't undo it so might as well have fun.

Your car looks clean and I concur about the Fuchs rims - nice!

$7500 isnt a steal its a robbery of ski masks and leather gloves proportions. If that car is tight, I would not have neven returned a phone call for a bid under $12,500. You could sell those Fuchs for almost $2000 alone. Only one of three things can be true:

a) you are one hell of a negotiator
b) the owner was a complete dumbass
c) the car has hidden boo boos

My guess its #1 or #2.

Congrats man. Im all envy.

Ive seen sets of near perfect original 16 7s and 8s go for almost $1500 as they only fit on the Turbos in 86. Someone looking for a chromed/polished set could very well pay a few hundred dollar premium on top of that. You take a set to a wheel shop for refinishing/chroming and they could easily charge you $125 a wheel. Fuchs are as light and strong as they come.

Thats some expensive rimmage but they are top shelf in every way.

I wish I had a rimjob like that.

So will you guys would be even more pissed when I say I only paid $6k for my <a href="http://www.skene.org/gallery/porsche_944/front_left">'86 turbo</a> last november? Of course my car has a good 140k more miles on it, leaked oil, and not nearly as nice rims.....

(sorry to hijack your thread btw.)
