Default Thoughts?

What's it worth? Concerns with so little use? Other thoughts? Thanks.

Nice looking car! A car that old is probably going to need the rubber/gaskets/orings replaced if they haven't been taken care of. If the owner has kept the maintenance up and you've got the bucks, that's a beautiful car.

WOW! Well there is always going to be dryrotted hoses and stuff with a car that has been sitting that long. Althought I fully support modification of these cars but this one just seems TOO NICE to go that far with all the body modifications (nose panel & hood). If it goes over 18k I'll be surprised.

It's hard to believe the mileage considering the mods he's put into it. Camber plates, exhaust, non-OEM seats. If it's really 8400 miles it's the lowest I've heard of and is worth more as a stock example rather than a modded car. Is it's on the up and up, 13-15K is not unreasonable.

Yeah, I feel the same as you all....wow! Would a PPI address/uncover the dry rot issues? If all the hoses, seals etc. had to be replaced, how expensive might that be? What about those GT3 seats? Are they comfortable for daily use? Are they fully manual? And, how does one confirm the "S" designation? I ran a check on the VIN and it referred to the car as only 944 turbo. Thanks.

My thoughts exactly. Something isn't right. It started to stink when I read "Concourse condition" while looking at a vented nose panel and hood scoop. The engine is nice and clean and doesn't look to have been driven much.

A PPI is in order before I judge. If it's an accurate description, it is a nice car.

I think he's trying to hide the replaced black stone gaurds.

Also; note that he says he has all stock parts

very nice car. with the money it would take to do all those mods and be too "bored" (or something ) to drive it, I would imagine he's kept it maintained as well.

I did a Carfax on it last time it was on Ebay. Came out clean. But... we all know what kind of problems those little odometer gears can give us.

Case in point, I looked at a 30k mile 89 951 last fall. One owner car. So, Carfax only had one registration listed, but the interior had easily 150k on it. Owner wouldn't fess up on when the odometer gear was replaced. Naturally, I walked.
