PREVIOUSLY SALVAGE HISTORY FOR THEFT. They don't give salvage titles to just any car you know. It looks great but God only knows what it looked like after the theft. I would keep looking for an unmolested car and don't let the green makeup seduce you...

No they're still there at the bottom. Unless you have a T1 connection they take forever to load.

Could be lighting. Hard to tell from that angle alone. The rust on the other hand.....

Love the forest green & tan, but would a salvage for theft typically report 'Collision damage' on the CarFax? 8/8/2006: TOTAL LOSS VEHICLE, Vehicle declared a total loss, Collision damage reported. 8/28/2006: Vehicle at automotive recycler facility.

Car looks great. Color combo is fantastic!
Minus for missing the optional board computer (or what do you call it in English?)

Humm, I'm thinking w/ a total loss label in Carfax, whoever the PO or entity that owned the car probably spend upwards of $12-$15k to get the car back to the condition shown on the eBay pics, if not more.

So, if I'm in the market for a used 993 at good price, and don't care about resale, I'd take advantage of the salvage title and offer around 25k-28k for it, subject to PPI, which is probably a 20k discount vs an otherwise clean 97 C4S w/ 45k on odo.

I'll run if there's previous flood damage, otherwise not a bad buy if car passes PPI.

Spare wheel is upside down and not bolted in. Probably hiding the fact that the tool kit, jack and air compressor are missing. CD changer looks hammered up. My CD changer is enveloped in a carpet pouch with a fold over flap to protect it, obviously that's missing here.

I would buy that car for $20k all day long, in fact: I would bet it would sell in a matter of hours for $20k on this forum.

As for Paramus being a "dump", you are either absurdly snobby - or you're confusing it with Paterson.
