Default FS: '96 coupe, 6 spd. Midnight blue 19K mi.! So Cal

No affiliation. For those with the low miles fetish. I haven't seen miles this low in a while for reasonable money. Rare-ish Marble/Blue 2-tone interior:

You can pull out the bat phone, right?

Wow!, you scared me for a sec Chuck, I saw you posted a FS Midnight Blue 96 and I thought you were selling YOUR car! I know you have more miles than that though.

Get an independant PPI, I shopped at chequered flag a few years ago and looked at an aventurine green 993 that supposedly had the top end done. I got several different answers from chequered flag and ended up passing on the car, something just didn't feel quite right.

They do have some pretty interesting cars

Seems like a great price with those low miles.I've seen them for $20K more with low miles like that. Very stange that the seat should be worn like that?

I would think that bat phone base could serve as a great foundation to install a pretty cool custom NAV screen setup.

I actually drove a 993 today for the first time.Had to see what it was like after reading all you guys threads for a year.I own a 08 C2S for about a year now.I drove a 97 C4 with 60 K miles.Price was $39K which makes this 1996 above a bargain.
Anyway i always thought I was a purist but in this case I'll keep the refinements of my 08.Maybe the car I drove was not the best example but as you guys put it definitley a rawer, in your face feel.

That does look like a good value....I just am not sure I like the blue steering wheel/dash. That aside, nice car for the $$$.

And it certainly is the finest exterior color ever made.....

That shop is a nightmare, I would not touch a thing that comes from there. I used to laugh at the crap on their lot when I lived in Santa Monica. I dont think that car is any fantastic bargain, in fact I would go for one with some more miles and a heck of a lot lower price.

Car changed hands earlier this year. Was for sale at a Volvo dealer for about $45k.

Be careful with that seller. I won't bore you with the details but I do not have good things to say.

Very nice color combo. I like it. This is the second car for sale in as many days where the seat wear is not consistent with the mileage. What's up?

Colorplus? and/or whatever Rome used to beautify his seats!
