Default Nice looking (from pix) 86.5 5 Speed in New Jersey

This might be a nice find:

http://item.ebay.com/280548237918

Price is at $7500 but it is a classified ad and I am sure there is room for negotiation.

No idea of service history or actual condition.

18" Turbo Twists....5 Speed....could be a rocket with some mods....

Damn.

Think the wife would notice if I just switched cars?

A little bit of misinformation in the listing but it's about typical (faster than an '86, only a few hundred 86.5s were made, hard to find paint, same engine as the S4, that kind of thing).

If I were in a position to do so I'd jump on it.

If anyone wants me to take a look at it I can head down there and show him how rare the paint color is .

Could be a great deal, sport seats, LSD, nice. You would have to see it, by the description the guy isn't too well informed hopefully not too much deferred maintenance.

Yeah, pretty much my dream car. Add crossovers, Chips, '87 FPR and a nice stereo and you'd have the car I'm trying to build. I'm probably about $7500 away from that now. (and about 150k miles over). Ugh!

Doh!

Good luck with it. Let us know how it turns out. Are you planning to come to the 'Sharks at the Beach' in October? I just posted a thread yesterday.

I'll be ticked if that turns out to be a great deal. I've been sitting here looking at it on craigslist right in my backyard for weeks.

There is also this '86 AT, 51K, not 86.5, but it appears very nice. Pound Ridge, NY is a few miles north of NYC, exclusive real estate there so I suspect this a queen. No affiliation. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...US_Cars_Trucks

I spoke to the guy his name is (Tony) several weeks ago. But he didn't get back with me, so I bought another one.
He says hes moved and has no garage to put it in. I believe he would take less. I I was getting ready to text him and offer him 4,000 to see if he is having a fire sale.
I have the Carfax on it still. let me know if its OK to post it.
I think it had odometer issues. I also believe he said it came from Pennsylvania from 928 motorsports and he referenced a 928 parts company in PA as the previous owner. He did give me the guys name to ask about his vehicle and it is the same number for 928 motorsports.

Hope this helps
