What's with the (2003) on the ad? Strange.

Is that the factory front bumper for that car? I can't remember if this car had the air inlets or not?

All 3.6 Turbo's for ROW were '2003' models. Yes factory bumper w/ TechArt ducts from factory.

Are you nuts? sorry but do you mean 1993, since the 964 was replaced by the 993 in 1995 as a 1996 model year car. The price is just as ridiculous 82k pounds that is almost 106k US dollars for a car with 33k on it... need I say more?

It's not for everyone. Yes, the price is high, but you are buying something rare.

It is pretty and it is rare, but it's just not on my "to acquire" list. Now an RSR on the other hand....

If that sells for anywhere near its price it will set one hell of a precedent ! I might have to put my X88 up for £60k +, its even rarer than flatnose too !

That rear Turbo S wing looks so much better - almost 993TT-ish. Anyone know if it's available aftermarket?

(Gets ready to be shot down in flames) I'm still not sure about the flatnose design though...

The flatnose has always been a styling controversy in 930 circles. I personally feel that it no longer balances the back end of the car with the front flat like that. That's why it is a tough sell. The right person is going to have to come along.

Well considering US flachbaus are commanding in excess of $130,000. It sounds like a bargain. I think it must be a typo and should read 1993.

Tail is available from quite a few different sources. One of the best examples I have personally seen was from http://bwmotorsports.com. They have a very poor website though. Cost is around $500USD as I remember. Fiberglass.

BTW the original tail is also fiberglass.

82000 pounds converts to ~ $161,000

Well, I wasn't going to argue the point with a guy named Flachbau!

I'm glad we got that cleared up.

Does anyone think this car is worth that? It would be hard to lose money on that car at this point, but buying it for $166K might be one way to do it.
