Default Anyone done business w/ BlackBear aka "Dr. Zuffenhausen"?

Interested in a 993 he has. Seems like his business model is buying cars here and exporting to Europe. Seems to have some activity in the usual places, but most activity is listing cars and/or buying parts.

Appreciate any input anyone has, here or via pm.

i drove that car before Christmas. I was concerned with lack of documentation and when or if the clutch had been changed. The engine tray is still in place and there is some oil leaking but it appears to be valve cover gaskets. The right rear rotor has some wear and grabs a little and will need changing. i believe there was only one key. The front bumper will need to be repained as well as a scratch on the right rear fender. With all of that being said i found him to be very upfront about all of the issues and open to offers.

Hey Gary, thanks for the feedback on the specific car. That's super helpful!

I'm considering it for a track rat and not a concourse winner, so the cosmetic issues & high mileage don't scare me. Good to know on the oil/clutch/rotor.

Thanks again!
