Sorry no new links. We know the early 964's will need a top end sooner than the later 964's, although mechanical needs are becoming less important and should start to be expected as these cars turn 30. Trying to find a clean straight coupe without stories is becoming a challenge and when they come along an interested buyer should always consider looking into them and factoring in what the PPI states. I highly recommend paying up for a leak down and compression test. No PPI you get wheat you deserve. When I look at 964's for sale I focus first on the structural integrity and then the records. Replacing rubber parts and other little bits can be as costly as a top end and are usually overlooked. I would prefer an accident free car needing a top end vs the other way around. There are a lot of 964's with "fresh" top ends and bad resprays done by people I wouldn't trust working on a 30 year old civic.
BTW I have looked at a lot of 964's and 993's with well over 130k miles on the engines with leak down numbers in the 3-5% range. You can't ask for better than that.

thats all I was saying since the car in question is a ‘90.
I’ve also looked at a lot of 964/993s with well under 100k miles that need complete rebuilds. My last 993, a MY ‘97 had 48k when I bought it and 8-20% loss across all cylinders. I knew that based on the leak down and factored it in to the purchase price.

I agree with Anthony, mileage is not always going to be an indicator of what the car needs. For example, my Targa with 65k miles went through a full reseal before I bought it and when they had the engine apart the only thing that was measured as being off was the cams. So the cam was taken care of but the rest of the engine was reassembled with all new soft parts only. Before I bought the car I did have a compression and leak down and both numbers came back between 3-5% so top end definitely wasn’t necessary.
If a low mileage car needs a top end or more I would personally do two things, I would look very closely at the service history to see if the car was properly maintained. Second I would look very very closely at the cosmetics to confirm if the paint, interior, trim and undercarriage match up with what I would expect from a low mileage car. If it doesn’t I would question the mileage accuracy. There’s no point getting a low mileage car if it’s not in excellent cosmetic condition, you gain nothing IMHO other than a higher entry fee and the same high costs to rebuild it.

Low mileage cars are just as much of a risk as higher mileage cars if they haven't had a top end, also you have no idea what that cars compression and leak down numbers were or its condition. Many people like a nice driver thats not a garage queen, and its obvious the car was priced rite on the market or below since it was snatched up so fast . Take your personal hostility and put it into something positive maybe you will be a little more likable.

They threw a lot of money at it but wouldn't be my first choice for a track build. I doubt the 550Hp is at the wheels most likely the crank.

It sure looks like a nice car. I have lost all interest in these cars at these prices. I have owned nearly 2 dozen 964's including some of the odd ball models over the years. The market can keep em when a clean straight 91 with miles in the 70's is a $75k car. Its been fun but I simply don't care at that price.

For $70 to $75k I'll buy a G-body car and drop in a 3.6 or rebuild the 3.2 to perform a whole lot better and then build out the rest of what I want. As much as I love the 964, I find the prices silly. I get it, my opinion is not the market but I won't be participating.
BTW Abreu Motors has a Murano Green C2 coupe that looks sweet LOL
