Looks decent. just be sur to look over the records and have a PPI done. Otherwise, it seems like a good price.

From here, those look like 17" Cup 1's. In good shape they're 1200 bucks or so. Very desirable.

Hell yea!

Just make sure you get all the mechanicals checked out either before (preferably) or right after you get it. Assume $1,000 worth of maintenance / parts will be needed and you should be fine.

I just bought a pristine 1994 with 50,000 miles and absoutely love it... I paid 2.5 times what you are looking to pay, but I'm not terribly handy, so I wanted a low mileage version and found one that had ALL the maintenance records.

I agree with the others who say to have the car checked out by a good mechanic and look over the records carefully.

I will say that I love mine...

Jeeper, I saw this car on Autotrader recently, and was amazed by the price. In the ad, they say it is a one owner car. Excellent! Yes, it has a lot of miles, but if it has been well maintained and the PPI is good, you should be fine. I picked up a 1992 Black 968 6-spd a couple months ago, and like Phil, I have loved every minute behind the wheel! Good luck, and if I were you, I would jump on it at that price!

Note: You better hurry, because if Jim has already swung by his credit union, rest assured, he is on his way to Great Neck, NY!
