I would be willing to work with someone if they need time to come up with more funds. I know how it is. Don't be afraid to contact me.
Also, don't get me wrong, not looking to set up a payment plan. I would be willing to hold the car with a deposit for a resonable amount of time in order to come up with the balance.

I've always said that 19"s can suit our cars and rest my case with these pics.
Not saying that I don't like 16" Phones either. Nice to have choice.

I was asked by a couple of people how the car drives and what issues the car may have if any. It drives great and there are really only a couple of issues/annoyances, both of which were present when I bought the car over a year ago.
1) Just above 3k rpms there's a vibration at the shifter, it goes away above and below 3k. My last 951 did the same thing and I'm not sure what causes it, maybe the flywheel is out of balance? I really haven't worried about it but I wouldn't feel right not mentioning it.
2) Sometimes when turning the ignition off there is a weird rattle that sounds like it's coming from the bell housing. If I let the car idle for a few seconds first or if I engage the clutch it won't do it. My guess is the throwout bearing or maybe TT bearings. It has not gotten worse over the last year and again, I never really worried about it.
A prospective buyer asked me to take a few videos so I'll post them here. I must apologize for the crappy video. I'm new at this youtube video stuff!
This is a cold start and warm up with a quick walk around. Haha...I noticed I said oil temp instead of pressure...lame!
Cruising on freeway and shifter rattle at 3k.
Short 4th gear run at 10psi.
Walk around after 20 minute drive & rattle from bellhousing on shutdown.

Very well represented as I would expect, as stated earlier in the thread, this is one of the few 951's I feel is worth the asking price. It's a well sorted honest car.

Ok guys, I don't "need" to sell this car but I would really like to start on my 911S project. I've had one offer at 10k and one for 11k. I can't let it go for that but I have decided to drop my asking price to $14,900. Someone will get a great car at what I feel is a very good price.

I'd suggest a video or two at some decent boost might attract more interest.

If I was in the market for a well tuned car I would want to see video and/or dyno where the boost is where it should be. The low boost video makes me wonder if there is something (clutch?) that can't take 18-20 psi power levels.

Good point guys. I'll work on that. I have almost a full tank of 91 right now so it may be a little while before I run E85. Maybe I'll take some video at 15psi on pump gas for now.
