Jerry @ European Performnace Engineering is a supre High End east coast operation. Blue chip people and 1st class standards.

That car is a defacto 993RS given what was listed and those changes with all factory or better parts & labor would be in excess of $35,000 plus the intial cost of the car. Its a good deal if you would like a streetlegal 993RS type car.

One should always buy a completed conversion updated car or a fully completed racecar instead of trying to build that car as it is cheaper. All of the above provided that you want something more exotic than standard.

Maybe you should grab a test drive of the car back to back against a standard 993 and decide for yourself if the difference in performance is worth the extra dollars, and if not, how much more above market you will be willing to pay to get that extra performance.

 

Polar silver is a great, great colour.
A 3.8 vario-ram narrow body 993 is sure to be a great drive.
The ad touches on important factors when considering taking on something that has seen almost a decade on the planet and a lot of non-factory wrench.
I'd consider it.
The asking price from a dealer rarely reflects the sale price. Even so, at say $50K, you have a very wide range of choice in 993 variants with 25K+ miles.

Alll that said ... mmmm . . . P o l a r . . . S i l v e r . . .

 

Thanks for the advice everyone.

 

Update from seller:

"Hi Jarrett,

Thanks for your note.

The car was lightly damaged in an on track incident but repaired
perfectly
by the best shop in the East that specializes in Porsche. Probably
better
than new at this point.

The original engine was modified at the owners request for more power
by
adding a Porsche Motorsports 3.8 liter piston and cylinder kit and the
Varioram induction system. The original engine and the current modified
motor have never been damaged.

The current asking price is $49,900, but I'm sure the owner would
entertain
an offer that is reasonable if you have interest. Because I have the
car on
consignment and don't own it, I'm afraid that I have nothing to trade
against.

The owner is a 66 year old dentist that has to give up track driving
for
medical reasons and has several other cars, so he wouldn't be
interested in
a trade either.

Believe me when I say that the car is perfect in every regard and has
all
records from new. He probably has more than $90K in it. It is
extraordinarily fast and handles like a slot car.

Let me know if you have further interest or if I can supply you with
any
further information."

 

Assuming the car is as described, would $45k be a good buy?
