They're dreaming if they think they'll get anywhere near that selling price for that junkyard Targa. So sad to see how some people just don't care about cars..how do you let a car like that deteriorate so much?. Probably bought it for $15K those guys and want to flip it for $40K. Yea OK! Good luck!
Shame is, I would kill for a cheap 964 Targa project. But even if they were asking 10k, I wouldn't pick up the phone.

you need to get over the title thing! didn't you get your title? These big dealers buy cars that still have loans on them, pay them off and wait for titles to come in - it takes the DMV time to get that work done, you got your title, you got your car and sounds like you don't have a problem with the car, just how long the title got to get, c'est la vie, thats life, complain to the DMV!

it is amusing to read this thread... much of it is cringe worthy and such a waste of energy
folks trying to find a bargain in the 964 market...![hiha](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/roflmao.gif)
there are so many folks looking/wanting, yet so few around that have been 'undiscovered' by knowledgeable folks ... markets are never totally perfect but when there is enough interest in one like the 964 market, one has to operate on the fair assumption that real market imperfections are very very rare
i have chased down a number of 964 manual hardtop c2's lately... (i have no interest in verts, tips. targas, and i already have a nice c4 that is a keeper)... like folks here who have been around the block like mooty, chris n, anthony etc etc say -- when you factor in the rehab work that needs to be done (esp. if you pay shop rates) there are simply NO bargains... you pay now or you pay later... for a well performing, well sorted, well put together 964, modded or not
of course if you are prepared to have a broken down, sloppy, decrepit 964 and are prepared to live with it, then bargain hunt away!

^^Agreed, there is no such thing as a bargain 964 or air cooled car in general. These cars are 30+ years old and need updating. You might get lucky and get one for less than market value but rest assured it will need a host of updates and improvements if you want to get the full 964 experience. For example if the car still rides on its original 4x4 ride height shocks/springs you are missing out. Updating the suspension is a Night and Day difference. Also remember that upgrading the suspension isn’t enough, you really want to have someone who knows what they’re doing perform a proper alignment with the upgraded suspension. That’s another $380 for the proper alignment. It doesn’t take long before you’ve spent $10k on just the basics. Engine out, that’s another $10k minimum so that bargain 964 isn’t a bargain anymore.
But I will say it’s worth it....

Dealer does not have to do anything with the DMV on a title. They pay off the loan, the seller has filled out paperwork selling the car to the dealer giving the loan holder (bank) authorization to assign the title and send the title to the dealership. The dealer can then assign the title to the next buyer. The only delay comes when the bank drags their feet after the dealer pays off the note.

The dealer can then assign the title to the next buyer. The only delay comes when the bank drags their feet after the dealer pays off the note.
here is one example:
A sells a car to dealer with a lien
dealer flows the money, not pay of lien, claim car as inventory, put it up for sale.
stalls the seller on paying.
car sold in 6 weeks
collects the money from buyer
use that money to pay the lien
pay the equity to original seller
pay the debt off to the bank
gets title, then assign to buyer.
that takes approx 4 weeks in CA.
if dealer or private seller already have the title in hand, then it takes less than 4 weeks.
so there is indeed a time difference and some ppl (me) are extremely impatient.
but other buyer/seller may be ok with that. just want to make sure that they know there is a time delay in this example. the delay may be be 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, etc. but it is a delay nevertheless

the diamond blue one I saw yesterday was the 57th in your warehouse? I think you have more of them then singers has in storage.
that said, I have bought a fraction of your collection, only 9 964's. there are NO bargain.
as I said with porsche, you pay now or you pay later, pay pay pay and keep on paying.
but no many ppl build cars right like you and spyerX does. I would pay him $61,398 for his red car any time

You'd hate the red car now. First, it's red. Second, it smells funny and its kinda noisy.

...but then some of the same people in this thread will try to convince a seller that their car isn't worth anything, attempt to buy it for a "bargain" and then go on to tell a future buyer how there are no bargains out there. #closetflippers
