Default Need critical eyes in Chicagoland

Special request to Rennlisters in Chicagoland area - need an up close and personal inspection of a 1988 951 in Westmont. Been looking for my best friend for a while and seen lots of pretenders and high end cars. This might be the one we want him to get if it checks out. Hope you can help me sometime this week and will buy you a beer!

I see a Lindsey boost enhancer and perhaps an afermarket pedal, at least for the gas. Might want to investigate if it was chipped or not.

I looked at a Bimmer there - the salesman wouldn't budge on the price and I went elsewhere. That said, I could probably go look at it, but not until Thurs. Lemme know.

Thanks Michelle! I will let you know on Wed if this makes any sense. I called and have another knowledgable P951 guy calling today to see how real this car is.

Yes, it is a tad expensive but it is a one PO car with the full leather butterscotch interior in vg condition... seems to be a selling point to my LA friend.

I also see an aftermarket stereo, aftermarket alarm, no factory alarm, missing floormats, touring tires, etc...

I may be critical, but if I were looking for a stock low milage car I'd pass...
