No affiliation, just saw this. I wonder what $17k in major service was, top end?

I wonder too--$17K? I emailed the seller to ask. Thanks for posting.

Wow, could be a nice one!

 

Very nice, but then I'm biased.

 

Would be happy to check it out for you...plus can make a good recommendation on PPI mechanic in the area.

 

major service aka 30k, $1,700 is my guess. Looks like a nice one!

 

I think it is posted on Pelican as well.

"water pump"???? I'm sure it's probably a typo, but that is probably the last thing I'd goof up on with a 993.

 

According to Pelican, it sold! Wow, that was fast.

 

Maybe someone got a good deal here.

But hard to understand why a car with such low mileage needed so much work. Top end at 43K sounds crazy.

 

I had spoken to the seller. Not the owner. One of those situations. Owner had CEL light come on. It was taken to Jim Ellis Porsche dealership in ATL and they sold him a top end, etc. $17K RO.

The seller was a friend of the owner and he was showing the car to someone when we were speaking. That person bought the car.

The car was rear ended, $3800 repair which is fairly light. Accident label on Carfax. Front had some light scrapes and lower grill was damaged. No big deal. So, when you see a great deal for $26K, there tends to be a story that makes it not a steal.

Overall, sold for a fair value.

Seller was quick to offer up "PCA owner," but a dick not to disclose accident...come on! Did he think no one runs a Carfax on an almost $30K car? Wastes a lot of time.

 

Agree completely.

Is there any honor among theives? My first clue to ask that question is when someone is selling a car on behalf of a friend, brother, father (religious and family), and others. Is a light hit in the rear a deal closer? No. Does it affect value? Sure by about 10-15%. But at $26,000, the valuation adjustment was reflected in the price, I think!

If that person did not buy it "on the spot", I would have committed subject to a Rennfax and a PPI. Jim Ellis doing a top end, steering rack, etc. made it appealing.
