Yep...interior (dash/seats) is shoddy with a color that I do not care for....122k miles, way to many IMO for that price...Rims?nope not for me...what exactly is this car? an S2?Turbo S? Turbo RS?.....Engine compartment is filthy....and exhaust is cheap galv. steel?and looks like it is about to fall off the left hangeror just mounted crooked from the start....


This just MY opinion, doesn't mean a damn thing

dang tough crowd in here. Buy the car for 13k invest in some new recaro seats, a stainless exhaust perhaps a engine dressing or two and you're done. What else do you need.

There is alot more than 12k in that car I promise you(ofcourse I guess anyone who really mods their 951 already knows that)

The LR II MAF is clocked wrong, RS sticker - c'mon, wheels are very nice. The interior could be much better detailed with Hide food or Lexol, nice car but there may be a 2.8L up for sale next week nicer than that: 2.8L VR IV kit, red/blk 86, NEW dash from a Porsche box and NEW seats, Koni suspension, LSD tranny, KEP clutch, 2" of records and receipts, etc, not cheap but not overkill either. The engine of this car is on VR website.

Well said John exectly my thoughts

Yes I agree that the interior is not to my likings but HELL that can easily be addressed - I'd strip it out, fit white backed Recaro's and rear seat delete plus black dash etc ... it gets a 10 from me!

It looks period correct to me and what is a 951 if you can't add your own personal touch - STUNNING, that all I can say

nonsense I would love to see yours AND get a ride ....it does not make that much difference, I just was saying I don't think that one is worth $12,500....that is all. Again it is just my OPINION

I'm not sure why everyone is so ga-ga about this car. It's at a broker which means he probably picked it up for about $8K or less. It's easy to detail a car that has been resprayed and why was it resprayed in the first place? Accident maybe? All of the 'options' are bolt on items but where is the engine, clutch, trans info? I'm not running the car down but there are many cars I would look at first both below and above that price. Personally the poser RS thing would make me wonder about the last owners common sense. Again, like Patrick, it's just my opinion and nothing more but I've been around a few 951's myself.

Patrick it wasn't a dig mate by any means - I love your car

But I've got a red 952 and would love a white one and this one is simply perfect in my opinion mate offering a lot of potential but I'd ditch your ICE, just my 2 UK pence as you have to ask yourself is it a track or daily driver? Anything in between is simply rice

That car could be parted for close to the buy-it-now price.
