Is there someone in Columbus that would be willing to check out this car? At the moment I am leaning toward if it sounds too good ... , but the optimist part of me would like to think that he is a distraught OSU fan and I should help push him over the edge.

Gotta be a catch... If not, that's beyond a great deal. All those nice mods, one owner and 53K miles? If I had the initiative, I could ship that out here and make 3 or 4K on it.

Get it checked out and jump on it!

Do a PPI. It could just be a misinformed seller who looked at KBB and saw low 964 values. Good luck!

The car sounds really good with all the mods and reasonable low milage. If this is legitimate and you are serious about a C4, you should lock this up ASAP after verifing ownership and vin # with a carfax and a PPI. My only concern is that (to your advantage0 he thinks $15k is above market value. He obviously does not know much about Porsche values or he just came out of a coma. However, he knew the right mods to add to the car. A recent article posted in a february 2007 Porsche magazine, "Excellence' quotes a market value of $19,800 for a C4 in so-so condition and as high as $27,000 in excellent condition.

I paid pretty close to the top end for mine and put another $1500 immediately to take care of minor issues. No serious mods installed yet, That will suck up another $8000 for what I want. For $15k, I would buy the Columbus car just for spare parts or to use it for the track. i'm sure there are some Rennlist members in Columbus.

Got to be a typo right? surely he means 25 (says higher price than normal too)

ilko

Well he did put 15,000 on two places. If it's true that car should be sold by the end of the day

I saw this too on Pelican's For Sale board. Man, someone could flip this thing for $4000 to $7000 in a hurry in the right geographical location. I bet some of these high end dealers are all over this thing by now to make a good profit IF in fact those miles are right, the price is truly $15k, and the motor doesn't have holes in it spewing oil.

That seems like a good deal unless it has leaking cylinder heads and/or is located in Greece.

Nader,

Check out this Pelican thread if you need someone to look at the car locally.

I could potentially check this out for you. Depending on where in Columbus, I might be only a few minutes away.

Can you get the guys info and PM me.

H964

iam pretty sure its a scam. first, the pictures are 2 good, second, the seller didnt leave a phone number, third, the pelican user who posted it and offered his service to check it out had only 1 post.
i have yet to see a burgundy with black interior in any P car.
nice looking car though

MassGuy

Im with you...way to good to be true.

Worth an investigation though.....but the cash stays close to the chest!

Maybe last year at t his time, someone was selling a similar car such as this in this exact color on Pelican. It sure seems to be a "Paint to Sample" type color that you rarely see and don't forget easily. However, I thought it was a 1989 C4 and had well over 100,000 miles verses 53,000 miles. I could be totally off base here...

I agree with others now that they mention it... If it's too good to be true, then it probably isn't true...

Nader Fotouhi

I just hope the owner has not discovered Rennlist today. If it is a legit car, the price has doubled by now.

Agreed. Looks a little fishy, hard to believe that someone with that car and those mods would not know what it was worth. Are those PCA sticker in the windows?
