John D. didn't give us enough space in the signature line to list enough cars (255 chars max). That's the reason why I have to reduce my fleet size.
I have no parts cars right now -- with real estate in the Bay Area these days, parts cars are PITA to look after and get rid of.
I recently jumped on a $3500 944 turbo -- I saw the ad one night and bought the car next morning. The only issue was a broken odometer and some cosmetics. The odo read 72k miles, but it's probably a ~130/140k car (but nothing shows in carfax). Probably due for belts, but the clutch measured pretty new through the inspection hole. An unscrupulous person could have fixed the odo, flipped it and easily doubled his money -- but I'm just passing the deal over to a deserving RLer. So technically, it belongs in my sig until the next owner completes the deal (but he's away on his honeymoon right now.....).
I'm also starting a 951 project -- she going to be a driver rather than a garage queen. My Silberossa will remain stock -- reversible mods at most -- because I have reasons to believe the car has a interesting history. But I wouldn't mind a Turbo money pit to play with.

What?? Next time you find a deal like that I will fly over to CA and jump on it if you don't pick it up!!!! I still get pissed thinking back at when the guy I got my red 944 from told me sold a non running 951 for $300........

Hmm..... a supercharged S2 project. I'd love to see that on that drag strip. Maybe I should do that too.....
I'd say reliability.

Hey! My thread got revived! I sold the car this weekened, actually (there was another thread on it). It's going to be used as an enduro track car out here in California.
