All,

I have been looking for a 964 and asking questions here for a while. There is a 90 C2 listed in Classified https://rennlist.com/ads (add# 5943) for $23.9K with 100K miles with recent clutch and engine out reseal. How much is an engine out reseal for a 964? I assume that is why it is priced on the high side.

Is a reseal worth the higher $$ compared with a car that has typical leaks (few drops)? Any input is appreciated.

TIA

I would ask the seller to show you the receipts for the work done. That will show you exactly how much they spent on it. I looked at the ad, they are a reputable seller. The car also has an LSD which carries a premium if you're planning on taking it to the track.

Good luck

Why not buy a low mileage, later year model with all the right (and expensive) mods already done!

Good question.

I love to. How does $20K sound without the fancy wheels?

Your car is a nice one indeed. However, I have been watching your responses to Colin's advances to buy his turbo rather than build one. As far as buying your car goes, I am afraid it is over my budget, especially since I am not willing to cut back on the race car expenses.

I was just trying to get a reality check on whether my expectation of getting a 90-91 with high milage, but excellent maintainance records for around $20K are correct. I think the car in the ad is priced high.

Your expectations are correct. I did it for well under 20. Just be patient and make sure you get a PPI.

Yep - $20K should get you a good car if you do your homework. They make poor project cars, so don't buy one needing more TLC than you can provide. Get a PPI and ask any questions you can think of - we all started out the same way.

When I bought my turbo, it was already done (suspension, seats, cage, etc), yet I still managed to dump a more $s into it upgrading little things (well the fuel cell was not little). There are so many good track cars out there, the best financial move is to buy someone else's project.

I would agree that you can get a good higher milage car around 20k.
