Arctic silver C2S? Looks great, depending upon the price. 50k miles is not bad for a car approaching 10+ years old. Looks to be lowered. Do you know what suspension it has? That must be a Rennlisters car as it has the aluminum ring guages from the group buy.

The big question is, as was raised in the other posts, is how difficult, and how much would it cost, to import this car into Italy? BTW, my sister's in-laws live in Coriano (near Rimini and San Marino), which is not too far from you I believe.

If everything else checks out, $43K seems like a very good price. Good luck. I hope you've done your homework on the import side though.

Those are actually the OEM rings painted steel gray. These rings, along with the ebrake and shift **** were painted steel gray on all C2S cars from the factory.

Don't want to ruin your plans of importing a car from the US but be aware of all the additional charges (VAT) etc that is involved with importing a car like this. I did the calculation once, and even with the weak dollar and the high prices on these cars in Europe, it turned out I would actually pay a bit more for a car imported from the US. THis is everything else being equal. Shipping costs, VAT, Import and registration fees, conversion of lights, side markers, gauges etc etc.. In short a PITA process. And you end up with a US spec car, which is not exactly the same as the euro spec onces, which will also affect resale value.. Anyways, good luck with whatever you choose to do. Just my 0,02$.

Hey Lunarossa2007,

Like everyone else said, if it checks out, that is one hell of a deal!

I went by our local "consignment" dealer (no affiliation or financial benefit to me) today and saw some nice looking widebodies. These guys are a little more expensive than buying from a private party, but they have a lot of experience shipping overseas (or, so they told me once). They also have an inhouse mechanic/bodyshop & a good reputation. If you are interested, contact them. I can always stop by and take more photos/suggest a Porsche mechanic for inspections...

Check it out: http://www.carsauto.com/category.cfm?catnum=727

Ciao!

That car has been for sale for a while. Another Rennlister checked it out and it had an oil leak and some other problems that I can't remember, thats why it is so under valued.

At that price you could do some fix up work and still come out ahead.

just ran the Carfax, it says inconsistant odometer reading, means it was rolled back probably but could also be an incorectly read odometer at some point in the cars life. Just be careful.
