Starting high, but I'll come down if she doesn't sell.

BTW: The car doesn't need belts. If you read the description, it specifically states that the dealership has just performed a second inspection/retensioning on the belts and did NOT recommend replacement. They specifically said the belts were just fine.

I don't think you will have one problem fetching the price you are looking for. If it was my car, I probably would have put the BIN even higher. If not for the paint touch up, and the clutch, it would be a $6500 car.

I'm just curious, I think I read that you got this car from Chicago or something? Sorry if I'm wrong.
How did you drive the car from another states without the plates or you went back to your state and get the plates, and then drove it back?

I've seen firsthand a few of these in worse condition than mine go for the same price range.

unless the dealership had done the belts and had the documentation to prove it, it's like any owner telling a potential buyer that "the belts look good".
needing paint also, i'd pass unless the price was reduced but then that's just me but then there are a lot of people like me that look at it the same way.

are you going to give a 10k mile guarantee that the belts are ok and that you'll pay for the repairs if they don't make it.

The previous owner purchased the car in 1988 and had it serviced at the SAME Porsche dealership ever since.
I have a file-folder full of receipts totalling over $35,000 in documented service.
Timing/balance belts changed within the last 30,000 miles with TWO dealer-performed inspections/retensions since then with NO recommendation for replacement.
Within the past 10,000 miles:
New A/C compressor bearing. New clutch slave cylinder. New battery. New thermostat. Belt check/retension. New front brake pads and rotors. New front wheel bearings.

The auction was pretty detailed and had good pictures. Plus I asked a lot of questions before bidding.
2) I paid them via PayPal. Since they had good feedback and were very helpful along the way, I really had no fears that they would screw me on the deal.
3) Southwest Airlines $120 Manchester to Chicago.
