Cheap Silver Rose in NY
#16
With all due respect to others on this forum, I ran the vin# through a friend at Porsche, I pulled the carfax as well (vin# is WP0AA295XJN151251 with a '0' not an "O"). In addition, the Rear label corroborate the information I received from Porsche.
What is visibly wrong or missing (in no particular order):
(1) the engine is not a Turbo S engine.... this engine is pre-1987 (this was an absolute deal breaker for me... i could have managed through everything else)
(2) almost every panel is damaged on this car, it will need a complete repaint. Drivers door (including mirror) used to be red
(3) no cruise control
(4) no 10 speaker sound system, no head unit
(5) door panels and rear seats are completely wrong, and not just the covering, but the items themselves (door panels with sound system, and split rear seats), wrong shift boot and shift ****
(6) right mirror cracked
(7) windshield damaged/delaminating (i couldn't tell)
(8) Spare and all tools missing
Other:
(9) had 10+ owners
(10) used as a track car, has a welded roll cage in it
(11) two accidents... left drivers door was completely replaced, left front fender gaps are way off (poor repair)
(12) no current service history
What i did not check in detail:
(13) oil pan, if it has been changed.... i looked under the car but did not see the oil level sensor
(14) shocks
(15) brakes
I hope this helps anyone who is interested in buying it. I know the seller, and he has an excellent reputation.
