HOT FOR SALE: Pick of the Week 991
03-31-2021, 04:35 PM
I test drove this car yesterday. Drives well but not in the best shape. Both door panels need to be replaced and the passenger seat plastic hinge cover is cracked. Few rattles when driving, dirty seats, and some paint chips. The price seems good ($55,000) and only 24,000 miles but I'm on the fence with all the extra costs to fix the problems.
Can anyone tell me an approximate cost to fix the door panels and hinge cover?

A good upholstery shop
should be able to fix the doors relatively cheap
pedros garage in Tampa does it for I think $250 a panel, supposed to be a permanent fix.
It’s going to be hard to find a clean title manual 991 with sub 30k miles at that price IMO

Thank you so much for the feedback. I'm torn because I'd love to get into a 991 at that price but on top of the things I mentioned, I'd want to retrofit apple carplay, add a rearview camera, upgrade to 991.2 steering wheel. It also need brake service. Might be smarter for me to pay more and get a 991.2.
I know there's no right answer but would love to get some advice.

This car is $55K. The upgrades you want to do will not come close to $25-30K (maybe $5K at the most).
So, if you like the car, I'd buy it. It seems to be a good deal to me.

NA engine sound is a different story of course.

991.1 C4S, 25k miles, $75k, PDK
Interesting option list because it has Burmester

Cost
Pedros is $250 for the panels and the fix is superior to oem. Sports wheel is 1200 tops. You could throw in pse and soul headers and still not be at 5k. The paint chips are not really fixable.
If the car needs two leather door panels (used) and a 991.2 steering wheel, that's around 5k + some change. I would buy it as well, if it was not red but yellow. Maybe I shouldn't care this much about the color.
Anyway, please let me know if you decide to release the hold!

Does this fall under the category of "if it's too good to be true" ...Seems like a hell of a price for a 15. Thoughts?

It's good to know about the Pedros fix. Getting the 991.2 steering wheel is more like 2k if you're lucky. The airbag is crazy expensive. The paint chips can be taken care of by a paint shop, it's not going to be OEM, but if you only notice it from 2inches away, that'd be good enough for me.

ive been watching for a long time...daily. It’s def. been up this year. But if you think about it, a 992 manual is only available on the s which is going to run you at least 120k+ new. How low can clean 991 manuals really fall ?
