Something doesn't quite look right with the right rear tire in the wheel well in your photograph. There are several 993's for sale locally, I'd definitely keep looking.

Thanks, guys.

I think a premium for a white car (with its additional horsepower) is okay but $30K is crazytalk.

I would agree. The fender radius definitely does not look right.

I would definitely have a good alignment shop take a look at it. If the suspension or mounting points have been bent, it may not align right and this will make for a very frustrating track car. Also, if some of the aluminum suspension parts were impacted and not replaced, this could be a safety issue at the track as well.

I would probably agree with a price in the high teens but would have to think long and hard before spending anything more than $20K.

That wheel does look odd, then again it could be the angle. from looking at the rest of the car in that pic, it looks like it's taken on an angle where the camera is located more towards the rear. So it could just be the angle making it look that way, but with the history, I'd want it checked out.

also... as like the 25th person to say it, $30k is too high for that car with the story, unconfirmed mileage and overall questionable history. I wouldn't go over $20 and only if it checked out. You'll be stuck with this car for a long time if you do buy it unless you just find a sucker.

I recall seeing a silver coupe when I was looking w/a salvage title that was on the market for liek $10k and no one would bite. I never saw it in person, but the previous damage (it appeared to have been repaired) was supposedly repaired.

$30K is too high, for sure, but there's no reason to automatically throw out the "run Forrest run" warning.

You won't be able to make a knowledgeable counteroffer without knowing exactly how well the car was repaired. If it was done beautifully, and the car is otherwise clean and mechanically sound, then there's no reason not to make an offer -- you could find yourself in a nice, low-mileage 993 for cheap.

So if you're serious about the car, and the owner understands that you're not willing to pay anywhere near $30K even if the repair work was first-rate, then have a good independent shop give the car are thorough PPI.

Not to be disrespectful or start an argument, but I don't think that a salvage titled car with a questionable repair history and a mileage discrepancy issue CAN be "done beautifully". Just my humble opinion.

Also, according to my very untrained eye, the right rear wheel seems to be way off as well, sitting far too forward in the wheel well. What's that about? Oh, I'm sure a competent PPI will tell alot, but for a $30K asking price, not only should Forrest run, he should be able to beat Carl Lewis to the finish line!

While I agree that a $30K asking on what this car appears to be is dreaming (for the seller), you guys who throw out the $10-15K talk crack me up. What's the value of the drivetrain alone? I know, I know, undocumented. But still, stuff like this makes the perfect track rat basis. Which, I know, isn't what our buyer here is looking for. Likely better using something like this at whatever market price is, than the typical 150K'er that floats around.

Stealth 993

Taking everything else out of the equation.

BBK value on that car is what, $25kish?
Most 993 C2's in good shape with ok miles, & records go for $24-38kish?

Now you have a salvage title car is good shape with some issues, & mileage. Just the salvage you will not be able to finance the car, & some insurance companies will not insure you. Then you got the milage unknown thing. Cars with over 100,000kmi go for a LOT less then with 30kmi, where does this fall?

For your $30k, get a nice sorted one, there are a ton for sale. I would ONLY get this car is a PPI+ was done, & if I got it for a steel! Like $15k & under. My reason is the hassle to purchase, insure, & resale are all going to be a PITA, & that's if it's solid. In WA state, you will also need the State Patrol to check the car out before you can register it, to make sure it's "safe" & the airbag light will fail it.

If this is your 2nd or 3rd car, & going to be thrashed on the track & it's cheap, then it might be a good buy. If it's going to be street car, then you love & care for, you might want to pass.
