Why? If the Ad is true and all of the maintenance was done a short time ago i think thats a decent deal.

Looks in better shape than some of the RL cars being sold for the same price

If I were still in the market for a 951, I'd buy it for $7,500 or there abouts primarily because of the mileage @ 132k - it's very clean, extremely well maintained (receipt available for over $11k), and only has minor mod work done to it.

other then that car is in great condition need a new front bumper PO was getting the tires change and the guys there ripped the front bumper off i think they paid him for the damage but he never got it fixed i got the paper work form the tire shop that did the damage so i know its not a lie. right now its held on by some tie straps on the right side and the bottom is cracked

You can only tell if your really looking at it. I will be looking for a bumper soon so if anyone has one that's alpine white i would be happy to make an offer.

the timing belt on the car looks good but i don't want to try my luck and the whole cooling system looks like it was serviced maybe 2 to 3 years ago everything looks good most of the maintenance i will be doing is just things i would feel a whole lot better if i did them myself so that way i know whats in the car and wont have any worries when i have fun in it When Im done with it. it will be in the best shape it can possible be in.

The leak isn't bad at all I just want it to be completly dry under there and I do all my own work. I have done so many oil pan gaskets and rebuilt a couple of PS racks easy stuff the inside of this car is nearly perfect you can tell its been kept inside not one crack in the dash it just has some wear on the drivers seat
