Default Okay, enough about the accident...

Now the hunt is on for another Turbo!! I may swing for an S2 if the price is right (assuming I don't get the shaft by the insurance people)...

Needs to be sub-9,000 dollars...perfebally no airbags...red or black...will consider other colors....perferably burgandy interior....will consider others...and hopefulyl around 3-400 miles away from me...I live in Lexington, NC 27292

I have found two already, and want to know what you guys think about them..

The first car looks very nice. From the description in the ad, it seems to have been maintained by an enthusiast. Couldn't hurt to give them a call.

The first car looks well built by a knowledgable owner, has a good repair history, nice wheels, and looks to be in good shape. The second car looks pretty rough and I'm always suspect of a Porsche on a car lot like that one. I'd go Red!

i second the motion for the 1st one. yeah its more expensive.. but look at it this way. you coudl spend well over the difference between the two to make the 2nd one a good car, where as the 1st one looks like a pretty good one. plus as nabeel and 2tight said, the 1st owner looks like he knows what hes doin.

but dont just jump on the 1st car you see.. keep an eye out and make an intelligent choice.

The first one looks great, the second one looks scary. Keep in mind those fuchs you've got will only fit an 86.

awe, for 12,000 you can get a 944 turbo with a turbo 3.0 engine in it. It's even here in Memphis by me. Check it out on Lindsey Racing's Website.

The 2nd car is in Manasas, VA (not far from me). FYI, its been for sale for at least two months on the Washington Post online classifieds. It started at $6,900.

Look at more than two, take your time. There's always another around the corner.
