Not only are the wheels not centered, they look like they're probably 17" with improperly sized tires.
EGAD! The Porsche Police should seize this cab and do the right thing with it!

I 2nd the motion for going to Vegas and throwing 14k on red!
If you want a cool project for $14g buy a Vintage Speedster's 356 replica, rolling tub. I love those things when done correctly. That yellow thing is a disgrace.

I'd pass on it......
In my humble opinion I'd take a pass on this one. It seems like a lot of work and has too many issues. You can do better for a little more jingle and pay less on the back end to have a sweet ride. Again, this is my humble opinion. Go with your gut. That's what I do and most of the time it works out, but not always.......
I recently went with my gut and bought a 96 C2 993 with 67K miles and a clean carfax. Got her home ( after passing on PPI) and had her checked her out and found that it'd been hit hard(in his words) on the right front. The car had a total re-paint which looks 98% great but the fact that it had been wrecked gave me a sick feeling in the gut ( which had betrayed me). I just hate being lied to and don't understand folks that operate that way and only take solace in the fact that what goeds around comes around. It was kinda like finding out that your wife is a ***** after you tied the knot. I'm trying to work thru the issues right now abd hope the CEL's can be rectified w/o major financial donations. Anyone with experience dealing with O2 sensor CEL codes feel free to steer me in the right direction. This car has had only 400 miles put on it in the past 3 yrs and I've had the CEL come on 3 times in the past 2 1/2 weeks. It's mostly O2 sensor codes and Control Unit. Thanks in advance.

You have choices...
bmartini,
If all you want is a PORSCHE, you'll be better off buying a Boxster for $14K than this frankensteiner.
On the other hand, if you MUST have a 993 then I'll pass on this hybrid save little more money and buy a decent 993 later.
However, if you feel really LUCKY then buy this car and live happily everafter...
Just don't come here to discuss, cause now you belong to 911 forum.

Yo VIP let's kick it
Ice ice baby (x2)
All right stop collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop yo I don't know
Turn off the lights and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle
Dance go rush to the speaker that booms
I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it you better gain weight
You better hit bull's eye the kid don't play
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
CHORUS
Ice ice baby vanillla (x4)
Now that the party is jumping
With the bass kicked in and the vegas are pumpin'
Quick to the point to the point no faking
I'm cooking MC's like a pound of bacon
Burning them if you ain't quick and nimble
I go crazy when I hear a cymbal
And a hi-hat with a souped up tempo
I'm on a roll and it's time to go solo
Rollin' in my 5.0
With my rag-top down so my hair can blow
The girlies on standby waving just to say hi
Did you stop no I just drove by
Kept on pursuing to the next stop
I busted a left and I'm heading to the next block
The block was dead
Yo so I continued to A1A Beachfront Avenue
Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis
Rockman lovers driving Lamborghinis
Jealous 'cause I'm out getting mine
Shay with a guage and Vanilla with a nine
Reading for the chumps on the wall
The chumps acting ill because they're so full of eight *****
Gunshots rang out like a bell
I grabbed my nine all I heard were shells
Falling on the concrete real fast
Jumped in my car slammed on the gas
Bumpet to bumper the avenue's packed
I'm trying to get away before the jackers jack
Police on the scene you know what I mean
They passed me up confronted all the dope fiends
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
REPEAT CHORUS
Take heed 'cause I'm a lyrical poet
Miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it
My town that created all the bass sound
Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground
'Cause my style's like a chemical spill
Feasible rhymes that you can vision and feel
Conducted and formed
This is a hell of a concept
We make it hype and you want to step with this
Shay plays on the fade slice like a ninja
Cut like a razor blade so fast other DJs say damn
If my rhyme was a drug I'd sell it by the gram
Keep my composure when it's time to get loose
Magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
Check out the hook while Shay revolves it
Ice ice baby vanilla
Ice ice baby (oh-oh) vanilla
Ice ice baby vanilla
Ice ice baby vanilla ice
Yo man let's get out of here
Word to your mother
Ice ice baby too cold
Ice ice baby too cold too cold (x2)
Ice ice baby
