Default 1991 964 on eBay with 310k miles

fyi on this one.
https://m.ebay.com/itm/1991-Porsche-...598a%7Ciid%3A1

Inquired about this one. Guy bought from original owner 1 year ago. Original owner seemed to do a lot of maintenance including a full engine rebuild in 2010, about 50k miles ago.
Owner is a kid and this was his first car. Says it hunts for idle. We had a deal agreed to but same day he informed me
that he was working with someone else who was local but that I was still the high-bidder...and that he would let me know if it fell through. I got a negative vibe from the guy, in general.


Not that I want to promote his car for him, because, IMO, he’s not trustworthy. But here are links he sent me to a walk around and exhaust clip.

After thinking about this one... For not much more money, you can get a car with about 25% of the mileage.

He was trying to sell it here & on pelican for $45 i think a few months ago lol. Pretty damning statement saying "he's not trust worthy" care to enlighten us why you think so? seems he was honest telling you that it has issues..

I base that on our conversations and the fact that we agreed to a deal - he insisted on sticking with ebay, which I was fine with but coming up on a weekend, he agreed to change the 3 day full payment clause to 7-10 days. That never happened and I tried unsuccessfully to get ahold of him for hours - I eventually got a text saying that he had another buyer looking at the car the next day.

Guess what - if you tell me you're going to do something and then 100% back out as soon as we hang up the phone - I'll call you untrustworthy, too.

This was just an FYI for anyone looking at the car, anyway. He explained to me that it sat in hot traffic a lot which is why he was selling. Also that the last maintenance to be done was a year ago, before he bought it.

Why would you even want it? Looks abused! Spend another 10-15 and get a much nicer one.

I’m actually looking for something less prestine - I’m planning to do dirty things to it.
