Smile Low mile turbo S

I found this very low mile turbo S for sale if anyone is looking. Nice color combo.

And it was hit in the chin. That must have hurt.

Default It's not an automatic, regardless of what the description says

Look at the interior photos - it's a 5 speed.

Also, did anyone else notice rust in tailpipe?

That's the one someone tried to sell on another forum a while back as all original. It has a 160 MPH speedo which was never put in a Turbo S. Still a nice looking car though, I wonder what they're asking.

It's a very rare automatic 5 speed. First one I've seen.

It says automatic and 5 speed manual in the description. I can see why its VERY RARE.

Just out of curiousity, who buys a 951 with 9k miles...

You will get the same enjoyment for less money out of a higher mileage car. A 951 isn't really a collector car.

Probably another car that they are asking 30k+ for. I am going to call Brack on Monday and see what is up with it. I like the car and the color combo. Not sure if it would be good to buy and turn into a modded car though. What does everyone think of it? Anything else weird about it?

See I look at one of these low miles perfect cars and all that goes through my mind is...

THERE IS SOOOO MUCH TO DO...

The suspension needs at least $5k the engine needs another $5K the interior needs... Well you get the picture.

There may be a bunch of issues with a car that's been sitting most of the past 18 long years. However bringing any well used 951 to this standard, if possible, would be extremely expensive. I'm not sure there's a point to going this far.. nice looking car anyway! Belongs in the high end showroom it sits in!
