The c2s is now sold pending the buyers inspection.... damn that was fast!

Trinitony, thats my 2nd e55. I had a 99 before my first 911, I traded it for a new 02 c4s, which became the gt3, which necessitated a sedan to haul the kids around in.... ah, full circle indeed.

Those aren't leak down test results. They are compression test results. I guess it doesn't matter now.

I know the buyer has not been disclosed yet, but I'm betting this car (which happens to be a virtual clone of mine) winds up on RPM, Wilhoit or one of those sites after the sale.

Ha. Betting it's not. I sent the sale link to the buyer who is close friend of mine in NorCal. We're already planning a few mild mods. Can't wait to con him into trading with me for a week.

I'll introduce him to rennlist membership shortly...

Nice! Glad it went to a "civilian"...otherwise RPM or Wilhoit would be asking $60 for it a week from now.

Yes. A proper car guy as well. Apparently, the shipping availability out of that area is slow due to some auction. Its gonna be a while before he gets it in the garage. I don't know if i have that kind of patience!

I offered to go pick it up and drive it home. My home. No luck thus far.

Assuming the deal goes through, it is not going to a reseller but no a very nice guy on the west coast. I feel for him as I have been on the receiving end of waiting for a new car to show up.... I was in the garage looking at the car last night and lamenting the fact that this will be the first time since 2001 there has not been a 911 in my life....

For what its worth, my friend has been agonizing about which car to buy for some time. It's going to a loving home. He's probably the finest, most honorable person I've ever met and deserves a car as nice as yours.

I'm glad he came to his senses. He almost decided to pursue an F-car. I'll give myself credit for pushing over the edge...

Nor should any of the "good" ones. The dealers also grind you on price. I expect that most dealers forgo the inspection. They also jump on good ones really fast, so it doesn't take too much ***** to pocket their lowball offers and wait a couple weeks for a private party enthusiast to come along. Is all of this "convenience" worth losing $5K? (or whatever) Not to me.

Congratulations to your friend, looks like he's getting a very special car. If your friend needs a shipper I can recommend one. I recently bought a motorcycle in New York. I shopped around for shippers and got excellent service from Incognito Express out of Arkansas. They do bikes and cars. The driver was a guy named Tony and he took great care of the bike. The seller called me after it was picked up to comment on how well the guy loaded and handled it. The bike showed up without a mark. I'll use them again.

The car is sold and will soon be on its way to the new owner. A true car guy is getting a very nice car, I hope it serves him well! Best to all of you on the 993 board. Shrews
