Default *x-post* I want a 951! This look ok?
I've been looking around for a while for a nice clean turbo... pretty much regardless of year. But having ABS &/or airbags would be a plus.
Does this price seem a little too good to be true? It looks very clean and is low mileage...

while it may be a great example of a Porsche, the seller should have spend a few more moments proof reading

I'd stay away

How much are you looking to spend? I have a very clean Turbo S with 69k on the clock... You would be extremely pleased with this car.. and you get the "s" Package.

Let me know if you are possibly interested and want more details on the car.

not a bad price if it's for real. Get the 'actual' mileage since most likely it's not exactly 40,000. Which seems rediculously low IMHO. Might be missing a 1 in front of that.

Fresh 1988 turbo 2.5 ltr eng
It is my daily driver the last last 12 years.
So... either this guy drives 13 miles a day but still managed to need a new engine after 40k miles, or he's leaving out some info.

Could be a "new engine has 40k miles, chassis has 1xx,xxx miles" deal.

All together now, "GET A PPI."

I should try to talk to the seller soon and if it seems ok get a ppi, but I do have one thing to say... I was a wee bit tired last night and it showed. Haha, I didn't realize it had THAT many typo's...

I think that the idea that the motor/drivetrain has 40k miles and the chassis probably has many more.

Seat bolster is hidden in the pic and all of the shots are blurry. I would stay away, I bet the car is a twenty footer in person
