The leather seats are filthy! How well was the rest of the car cared for?

They do all that work on such a rare car and make an "error" in repostioning the rear quarter pannel. That too me is the no go sale item. It would reqire a pretty thorough PPI IMHO including a frame alignement check. Gaps in the body panels ofthese cars stick out like a sore thumb!

Like Garrity said, Too bad really. I could go take a look if any one is interested.

"It was repaired using parts from a brand new 928 that had gotten hit on the passenger side"

Looks like a great find to me zoltan944! 15K on a '95 5 speed and in black to boot! Nice.

Salvage title vs. 15K on a black 5 speed '95 for $37K obo? Good find for the right buyer.................with real money!

Finders fee well deserved my friend!

I really do think this car may find a good home as Todd says. need the right buyer, im sure he is negotiable. Definate PPI, but if they didn't fix it they lost 3% of the population of 928s made that year

My thought was, "Those leather seats have more than 15K miles of butt-time in them".

And noticeable panel gaps are pretty much the smoking gun for poor worksmanship and/or a permanently bad bend in the frame.

But the price does certainly reflect these things!

I'd hit it (PPI first though!!!!!!!).

This is a classic ...."The frame, which had been slightly bent, was meticulously straightened to near perfection " .... first off there is NO FRAME , second what does "near perfection" mean ? And perhaps the seat got smashed in the accident and replaced ...

LOL

This car has lost 50% value due to the salvaged title......a 95 5 speed GTS with 15K would be worth far more than $37k!!

I have to wonder what one supposes they are getting from a low mileage salvage car.

OTOH a lot of people want a piano and don't care if it plays.

Maybe I'll buy it. But I will part it out due to the sunroof. Anyone wanna go halvsies with me on this GTS? All I want is the engine, the valve stem caps and the alternator belt. You can have the rest. Speaking of the engine, how difficult would it be to run the GTS engine off of a CIS system? I really prefer that system by far.
Oh, one more thing. Does the GTS use the special lightweight lug nuts? If the answer is yes, I may want these as well. I am in the market you know.
