Wow!!
Seems like someone has a very high opinion about his friends car. I mean very worn seats, faded tail lights, goofy looking cooling fan, and missing center caps. Could likely find more to pick at with an up close look. The price is high for a car with that kind of mileage even though the market for 964s seems to be firming up these days. Yikes, he's claiming that a clutch job is $4500.00!! Who is he kidding? Just two weeks ago I called around for estimates and they hovered around the $2800.00 to $3500.00 range. Quite a far cry from $4500.00. Certainly did not need the primer on what kind of car buyers there are out there. Really like to see those stock "15 wheels too? It might be a nice car but I would not go higher than $18000.00.

"There will not be any test drives at the limits of the car either. Red line it after you buy it. "
"The pads are a dirty compound and make the pad replacement light come on."
"Upgraded to 16” alloy wheels (original 15” wheels come with car). "
"These cars gets all the best parts and care. "
"meticulously"
"The OEM clutch is not worth replacing, upgrading is the only sensible solution."
"The LUK replacement installed in it is now bulletproof."
"This is the stuff that sets mine apart"
vs
"I am a business associate of the owner"
This ad reads as fiction to me .
The ad has so much BS in it , I can not see doing business with him / them .

What's up with those SUV sized front tires?
"I am a business associate of the owner and selling cars drives my friend crazy. I guess I must be crazy because I enjoy it."
Yeah, but your not very good at it!

"There are plenty of these overseas so sending me an essay in Nigerian English asking about exporting is a suspect request. Send the check, if it clears I'll call you back."
I love this line and will have to use it myself sometime.

Thanks for posting this ad, it made my day.
He claims to be aiming for a buyers who know what they're looking at - but he'd better hope for one who doesn't.

156,000 mostly highway miles. (On your side of the pond that presumably means freeway sort of thing, our Motorways?)
Were the rest of the miles deliberatly off-road or accidentally
Worked the fan out
think it's supposed to be the Greman flag

Any info on the thousand extra for the Amazon green? I know the special order paints for the turbos and 928's were a no cost option requiring a buyer to order the car. limiting dealers from adding these colors to their inventory. Did Porsche charge additional $$ for Amazon green on the stock 964. I know there was no charge for my GTS but have no idea about my C2.
