Default Anyone available to look at a car in Chantilly, VA this weekend?

Hi,

I ready to get myself in a 951. This one looks promising but really I am looking to get to know some of the local NOVA enthusiasts. So if you are free, know something about these AMAZING cars and fancy looking at a car this weekend, drop me a message. Probably a beer, maybe lunch in it for you.

Hope to hear from someone,

That is IMA's car. That is a very very fair price for a very very nice car. I dont even have to look at it to tell you that it is nice.

Thanks for the advice. Thinking about it still after viewing. Its owned by the Autothority shop across the street from IMA. Thinking about a PPI....

Default No comparison

I don't know what 352hp really feels like in comparison to something else but it had plenty of power. Real head snapping!! No comp to N/A!!

What bothers me most about that car is that if it is that cheap, what the hell is my car worth!?!?

I'm stereotyping here, but usually 352hp doesn't last that long.. hope it comes with a spare motor

And Greg, we all know your car isn't worth anything, so I'll give you $200 just so you feel better

Default New Owner of 944!

I pulled the trigger on this one. $7700 including a replacement front bumber - current one has a ding covered by a bra. Had a PPI done, nothing major - wheel bearings need adjusting and a small leak from power steering (which I know could be more of a big deal.) But I am happy with the deal. I'm picking up the car on Friday and hoping for a nice weekend weather wise for a drive on Skyline Drive in Shenandoah. Taking the car to Taylor Chapman to fix these few things. If anyone would like to join me for that drive and talk about the car let me know!

You should go to the club race this weekend at summit since there are some nice roads out there.

Thanks for any insight.
