Wow, one hell of a deal for a well running 951 with only appearance blemishes...

Thanks. Yeah, the ONLY real problems are appearance related. Not something really bothered me as I'm more of a Function over Form kinda person.

Didn't you purchase this a short while ago? Not trying to poke the bear, just was curious as to why it was being sold so quickly after you bought it.

Would love to check this car out...

I did. Just found out we were blessed with twins. Since I have a 7 year old already this won't be sufficient at all as I drive the car daily.

If it wasn't across the country I would certainly consider this to help build mine. Spares are always nice.

I'd gladly drive this to you. SERIOUSLY.

Decent jobs are ridiculously hard to come by around our area. What kind of job are you looking for? I might have some people I can network you with.

Beautiful looking 951, and no sunroof to boot. Kinda makes me sick, knowing I have the cash and could purchase it - I can't wait to have another 951. I really, really want to buy this thing, but I know I shouldn't. A couple years ago and I would have spent the money in a heartbeat, but I'm starting to grow up now (24) and realize that what I need is a DD that is easy and cheap to fix. If only 951s were easier to work on - just can't afford the maintenance right now. Good luck with the sale, at this price it is a steal and should sell quickly.

Actually I've decided to keep it. I was hoping this thread would end up black holing eventually. New pics with the new wheels.
