Looks very nice. Give him a call and ask some questions, why is he selling, does it smoke? Ask where the work was done, and finally ask other rennlisters if they know the car at all.

Regards,
Russell

Does the tach needle look bent to anyone else?

so would you assume it's been open before (tach)? carfax checks out, but that's almost meaningless.
I'm just getting a list before I call him, thanks you guys. keep em comming if you think of anything else.
what about buy it now for 7750?

That price seems maybe a couple hundred high, but around that price range is what I'd expect for a car in the condition with the high mileage.

Seems like a local lister would be available...

Ask for a pic of the inst cluster just after a cold start, the bottom side of the engine, bottom side of the diff, the front/top edge of the hatch glass when it's closed, and inside the battery tray.

This car has been listed about five different times now. The first few times it was being advertised as a Euro model even after I pointed out that it wasn't. BIN is too high in my opinion.

how is 7,750 high? I think thats a steal for an LSD, no sunroof car. It has low milleage, and seems well maintained. Looks a lot nicer then a lot of 951's.

The boost gauge looks broken. the needle shouldnt rest that low.

i thought lsd was standard after 87.

mine only has 1 dot left of the 0.4, where the needle is resting. this has 2 dots and it was delivered in germany.

when i just looked at my gauges they seem to bend the same, i think it's something with the plastic gage face.

I thought 7750 is a good pric for that car considering it has now sunroof and LSD. Its worth checking out I think. I would also ask for the option codes on the car. I think the guy thinks its a Euro car when it was actually a European Delivery Car.

it's had several owners and it depends how it was delivered to the original owner, who maybe had no intention of bringing it stateside.
