Pulling the trigger! Any thoughts?

Really? Hmmm. That seems to be a bit of a premium for a 62,000 mile, '95 993 with as-expected paint wear, despite the engine work. FYI, the plates on the LSD are dead and not doing a thing to limit slip on this 60K plus car.
I think there are much better deals out there. My $0.02.

Btw I've got a 60k on mine with LSD, what's the cost to rebuild the LSD?

Looks like a nice, solid car and a pretty good deal considering the top end and expensive 60K service was done.
Note that the work order says the SAI passages were drilled out because they were blocked -- i.e., this car, like so many 993's, was burning oil at a prodigious rate. That's why the top end needed to be rebuilt at 62K. Not really uncommon. It's an expensive job and assuming the rest of the car checks out, that's a reasonable price for a well-sorted 993.
Note also that black paint shows everything, especially on low-to-the-ground cars that pick up every pebble thrown at them on the highway. My car, which I bought at 84K, looked just about exactly 20K miles more stone-chipped than the one you're looking at.

I was concerned about the paint as well and the cost to get that acceptable... also I have to ship, maybe I need to rethink this...

This was my original thinking, that top end done I would be sorted on work/headaches for a while... also I have not found black on black with low miles... plenty at 90-120k, but at 60k, that is 3-5 years of the amount of driving I will put on it before I get to 90k.
Most cars I see that are acceptable, are around $30-33k with more miles and less work... for the $3-4k up front I thought this to be a good deal...
Lots of thoughts out there... love hearing them

What does "replaced clutch disc" mean? The flywheel only? I didn't think anyone would ever replace only the flywheel.
IF the clutch was done properly and engine too, then $36k may be worth it. Otherwise seems a bit high.
This is the shame about buying a bone-stock car from a dealer. A Rennlister PO would have installed a LWF and simply plugged off the SAI passages and tossed out the SAI pump and would have made sure to use the improved aftermarket valve guide materials.
