Default "The best 944 turbo in the country" ???

Saw this on ebay today.... looks nice, but "the best in the country?" The price seems a little optimistic as well.....

I would probably be able to get 25k for my car when I'm done, but he's definitely dreaming...

I was going to say the same. If he's asking 25K I can definately ask for 20K, since I have lower mileage and my car is in very good condition inside(except driver seat). My dashboard looks brand new. I putting mine for sale first 18K will take it and I'll throw a brand new seat cover.to ebay.

How can he say that he's got the best 944 Turbo in the country when he hasn't seen mine yet?

But I'll give him this: That interior looks awfully clean and well-maintained.

It's a nice car, but the best in the country and at $25K in this economy? Not sure about that one, as other 951's come to my mind.

Yep gear lever cover needs replacing and rust on the rotors. Button broken on the AC/heater panel. Non OEM seats and not great replacements. Not big issues but for 25k it has to be concourse. It looks like attention to detail on the car is about the same as attention to detail on grammar and spelling. I just sold my 93 968 that was in better shape for 8k
