Driver's seat bolster is pretty tattered - but a good leather guy could probably fix that. It's had a lot of work, but at those miles a lot of those items, like the timing chain items and the steering rack, are almost routine maintenance on these cars.
As things are these days, his starting bid is about what its market value is.

If one is in the market for an amazon green C2 with similar mileage, then clearly the choice should be:

No leakdown test recently, and I confess that not only don't I know what specifically that entails, I don't know what it would diagnose either. Not to say that I don't take care of my car, its just that I'm 27, went to a liberal arts college, and rely on my mechanic to tell me what my car needs. He's owned many 964's and raced many more professionally, and I trust him to ensure the car is fine.
I don't seem to be losing any oil though. I haven't needed to add any oil during the 6k miles between changes (synthetic), and no drips that I have seen.
17" wheels is right. Tires in back may need to be replaced in the next 10k miles, but the fronts are good. Either way, the buyer may want to swap them all out because mine are far from low-profile. The potholes in massachusetts are ridiculous, and after refinishing 3 rims on the Jetta I used to have over the course of one year, I wasn't about to upgrade the 964.

There are various descriptions of the leakdown test on this forum. Basically it's like taking the blood pressure of your motor and can give you an indication of the internal condition of it.
Do you know the history of the car previous to your ownership?

I have limited history. I know it was originally sold in Connecticut, the mileage was only 19,000 in 1999. It was sold from the original owner at 25k miles to an elderly guy. Serviced at Hoffman Porsche until 2006, had its 50k, 75k major service during that time but beyond that I'm not sure and none of it shows in the maintenance book (original book is maybe lost, and I have a replacement). I bought the car from F40 Motorsports in 2006, who had it on consignment from the 2nd owner who wasn't physically able to drive a manual anymore.
