I do actually like the RS wing better, much sleeker than the Aerokit wing.

Still not buying your logic. Does the ad say RS? Or is this all in your head? Splitter and a shift **** does not an RS make, regardless of rennline bits.

Good thing you're not irrationally upset about someone else's car though.

Thank you! Yes, if you do purchase the car, change that out ASAP! Check to see if that deck lid is OEM or Aftermarket big difference in price. If OEM could easily fetch $3,500!

Yes it is still recognizable as a 993 even with the aftermarket wheels, the bumper cover modifications, the wing and all the cabin updates.

OP- What do you want to do with this car? If you want to turn it into a track car, then get a BETTER deal ( I agree around $ 50 or less) and mod the heck out of it. If you wanna driver and are thinking of flipping in a few years, yeah i'd walk. Way too many unknowns and a non- Porsche dealer doesn't know squat and wont provide any insight. There are some good cars out there- if you're budget is $ 65K, you can do a LOT LOT better.

The latter. Good advice. I know how hard it is to sell a car with stories. Thoughts on a ‘95 C4 coupe with 100k miles for $65k, tons of service history but one accident many years ago?

That would be my preference for a car that I want to drive. Find someone with the skills to check that the (years ago) damage was properly repaired. They'll likely look at frame, body work, rust from damage, quality and condition of paint, and identify any oddities or suspect areas. The passage of time and probable absence of issues since the accident are positives,

I’m pretty indifferent. I live in Florida so don’t need the all weather capabilities of the C4, but I’ve driven both and have no preference other than the simplicity of the C2. I would take either.

C4 NB is pretty rare- you'll pay a premium for that FYI.

is $65k with great mods and 100k miles a premium? Also one accident in 2019, have repair records though and it was pretty minor.

C4 NB is extremely rare as PRSWILL pointed out. How rare … well only 951 C4 Coupes were imported to the US and only 601 Cabs 1995-98.

imo it’s a fair deal (with the limited info you’re providing). I remember I purchased coils from someone locally earlier this year who had just sold his stock ‘95 C2 coupe with accident history and 100k+ mileage for $77k BAT Auction Link
