Default turbo s discovered!

I discovered a silver rose Turbo S today sitting behind a gas station. The gas station owner said the clutch is bad and the car's owner didn't want to spend the $2000 bucks to fix it. I guess it's been sitting there for a few weeks and the owner recently bought a 911 and he wants to sell the S. I gave the gas station guy my card and I hope he calls!! What is it worth?

If the clutch needs replacing but the rest of the car is fine, I'd pay 6.

The car is pretty clean, the body is straight and the paint still looks good. I'm not sure what else it might need, but it runs according to the mechanic at the gas station. The odometer reads 107,500 miles, the seats are not the plaid design but are in good shape. It has the man hole cover rims, I'll post a pic in a while.

Here it is! What's sad is it's been sitting there at a gas station, I'm not sure if the owner knows what he has.

Well, the rear wiper is broken.............

I think those are club sports, not sewer lids but, it's hard to tell from that angle. I don't remember the center of sewer lids being dished at all.

Might be badge-engineered, especially if it has manhole covers or 'flats.' There was no Turbo S badge and the Turbo S came with Clubsports. Similar to flats but not the same. 944 offset front flats also have a slight dish while the Turbo S did not due to the larger Turbo S hub.

Hey, nice find! Try not making so many visits... you are really losing your buyer leverage by looking so interested. Hes gonna jack up the price.
