I saw that one, too. Buy-it-now is pretty appealing. VIN check looked OK except for a recent failed CA emissions inspection followed three days later by a passed one.

Thats a good deal for a 4S. 20K less miles it'd be closer to $40K or better with no stories.

Price seems pretty low for a 4S to me, or maybe I paid too much for my car..... Not sure about what's been done in the back seat, that could bring the value down a little.

Let me know and I can go over and drive it for you. The seller is not the most honest guy, though. Nice cars, but not mint.

Nice car, not really feeling the blacked out tail lights/reflector or the Rancho off road suspension package. Price is hard to beat though.

I am usually wrong, this may not be the exception, BUT are you sure it is a 4S? Did'nt 'S' models come standard with the aluminum/leather shift **** and e-brake lever?

Sorry, but with that tail, the blacked-out lights (are those wheels chromed???) at that ride height, that car looks like a serious poseur-mobile to me.

Certainly looks "poseur" but it is after all a 993. You could always lower it, sell those ugly wheels for some stock turbos, get a regular engine lid. It looks like a steal!

Good point - I think you'd HAVE to do that. But I am always concerned when I see tons of money put in to tacky cosmetics on cars that need to be carefully maintained. Spend extra on the PPI for this one.
