Well, I truly am conservative and they wing actually looks good in person. Same wing as on the factory 964 3.8 RS:

The extra down force will be welcome due to the speed that my future turbo emblem will help generate.
Truth be told on the value of my 964...You could buy a 996 or a 993 for around $30K. However, it would not look like a classic porsche. In my humble opinion, 911's stopped looking like 911's when the last 964 rolled off the line. From the 996 forward, 911's look like 1990's Toyota Supra's:

964 back - sports car
993 forward - GT
Since I'm going to keep my 964, I better come up with a name for her...How Does Poco Tokyo sound (Little Tokyo)?
Well, headed to Pep Boys y'all. Have a great night!
Need to get some

This thread was solidly posted from the twilight zone. But since "Porsche's are junk" Ill say the car is worth $5 
I really honestly cant comprehend the thought process that would lead to both of these threads being on the same forum inside of a week apart!
So the original purchase price (plainly stated in other thread /boggle) was $24k. The car is in a miserable state needing a $14k rebuild (allegedly) and other things most likely and *none* of the work has been done.
Exactly what was the "good Christian plan" if someone said "OK, Ill give you $30k today"?
This thread hasnt been edited, deleted, updated... just still sitting here right near its bizarro companion thread.
A much better way to have handled this (assuming this is all real) would have been to post something like this:
"Rennlisters, I screwed up. I let my emotions get the best of me and dove into a 964 without the PPI safety net. Now, $24k later, Im in over my head. Here is what is happening (list of issues). The local indy says its going to cost $14k! I'm not sure what to do at this point as I cant invest that kind of cash and am not sure how I could bail out of the car in this state! Appreciate any advice at this point!"
Study the above. Thats the way to handle a bad situation and get some help from people and even find an *honest* resolution.
The way *not* to do it is to post a fraudulent "for sale" ad, and then after 5 days of no bites, post a long winded diatribe about how Porsche, the legendary company with a heritage from before most of us were born that will be around after most of us are dead, is "junk", "slow", etc. All while the original for sale post is sitting *right on the same forum*!
