Default Ebay 951 from a time capsule

Here is a near new 951 if you have over 20 large lying around.

18K 951

Ahhh--Fuchs, so ....shiny...drool.

Car looks sweeet, except they have it parked under that 'vette on a lift. We all know that American vinatge V-8's don't leak any fluids--right?


BTW--Pete looks like your S2 is coming along quite nicely.

something is wrong.

why were the OE sway bars put back in, and why was the bottom of an 18k mile car pressure washed?

AND, why was the car chipped by a dealer trying to sell this cream puff?

maybe the old chip was fried when it came in contact with water.
There is no mention of a clean title.

i knew if i tried i could think like a lawyer when at work.

The S2 is getting there. I'm putting in a waterpump this weekend. The present one has a small leak so I need to change it before it decides to sieze on me.
After that I'm done with it for a while and then it's paint time.

They keep trying to sell this thing for ridiculous money...it's near me here in NC, I've checked it out and it's quite nice. But they are asking way too much. I think this is like the second or third time it's been on eBay.

You'll need more than 20k to get that. note it's at 20k right now and the reserve isn't met. Wonder what it is.

The car is exactly as advertised - I sat in it on Monday.
Beautiful and near-perfect.

If a buyer shows cars and that car is as advertised, 20K is not out of line for a ribbon winning show car. If its concours quality (i.e. always trailered, rarely if ever driven), then its a steal. I doubt its quite that good, but a definite show winner.

That thing just makes me want to paint my car even more. Like tomorrow. Waaaahh.

What I don't like is in the picture of the shop the 951 is parked under the vette, all the other cars are parked in nice open spots that nothing could drip on them from above......

but yeah, I don't think that particular car is worth that much, but thats just me, I do like the car though.

Wow!! An amazing car, but the price is just too much. I don't think a brand new FACTORY car could get that much.

What's up with the door speakers? Those can't be original. Looks like cloth was laid over the 4x6's and someone put a 5" speaker in there.

This was the car we were arguing over the creases in the seats (saying they had older car wear)!

Why pay $24k(?) when you can buy a nice (better) Turbo S for half of that!?

That car is very nice, the pictures don't do it justice. The paint in the fenderwells is nicer than the paint on the hood of most 944s out there. It's truly as close to flawless as one could hope a car of that age to be.

I don't think it's been wrecked, and I do believe it's got a clean title. If you've got questions about that thing, just e-mail the seller I'm sure they can help you out.
