Default 1997 993 C2S Vesuvius $25k for sale on CL Seattle

There is a 1997 C2S for sale of CL Seattle: http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/cto/3442288439.html

I passed on the car for $25k, crazy huh?... Salvage title, with not such a great repair and a total respray. Maybe a fellow Rlister wants it. When the seller told me that even after the windshield was replaced it still leaks and the shop told him the A Pillar SHOULD have been replaced but was instead "patched", I ran...

I love the ad: "never tracked or raced". Forgot to mention the fact it was totalled for some reason, somewhere along the line.

Spend the money, do the repairs and you still have a C2S with a salvage title. No thanks ....

Now your just getting caught up in the minor details...

Reminds me of the time I literally saw two guys that chained the back of a car to a tree and were using a come along to straighten out the front frame rails... God I wished I had a video cam at that moment, instant UTube classic!

No, same town but different sellers. The TT was at least fixed by a Porsche pro, the C2S not so much... The TT would make a great driver/track car for someone, the C2S I would be worried would fold up like a pop can on impact.
