Burning Brakes
Just as an intellectual exercise, let us imagine a $30k 944.
First of all, it would have to be an engine swap, possibly an LS6 or 7.
Swap in the 951 transaxle with the N/A 5th gear.
Limited slip differential.
Upgrade the brakes to yellows.
Upgrade the suspension and add some nice sway bars.
Give it a custom exhaust.
A tricked-out paint job.
And do lots of interior restoration work.
"Saratoga" sunroof.
Nice custom wheels.
What do you think? Are we close to 30k worth of car? Or do we need more bells and whistles?

I've noticed a lot of the scammers out there on craigslist try to work sgt or something like that into their email address to make you think it is more legit when they want to ship the car and all you have to do it send some moolah to escrows R us.
