Thanks JP. I guess I gravitate towards these type of cars.

Yes .. where Angels fear to tread! If you know what you're looking at, there's a LOT of pleasure and value in a well maintained higher mileage Porsche ..

I see a car that would make a good 2WD conversion and track beast in those pics.

Holy crap. You did the right thing. Looks like the prior/current owner was hauling lumber with his steel toed work boots in that thing.

Good luck finding your new car!!!

Was at autotrader. Walked in several other stores afterwards and it seems the car has been for sale for some time now. Started at the high 40 last year and is down to $ 39 k now.

Even if you can get it all fixed up for $10k, then you still end up with a higher mileage 993TT with accident history, 2 full repaints, and a sketchy history. Thats a $45k car at most at that point.

Don't think 10K will do it.

Not sure how I missed this! Wow, that was a bit rough. If it were mechanically sound it would've been nice to beat the tar out of at the track or build a race car out of but I think you made the right choice. And that's a good looking 930! Congrats!
