If no other major issues And other good records I think it's definitely worth mid 20's so it seems priced right. If not then have the guy part it if it's under 20 and I'll take the interior. I like that color.

 

In case anyone wants to see detailed pictures of the car in question....behold:

I don't understand why a dealer would put a car in that condition on the floor. Assuming the mechanicals are as discussed above, for less than $1000, I could make that car into a 9...He'd have people lining up for $23K.

 

Yeah, no doubt hey. Get those dents remedied, and put a little elbow grease into that bad boy, and it'll clean up nice.

 

Most sellers have a limit of how much money they'll put into a car before they either remove all profit or price themselves out of the market. I imagine that this is the case here.

I am offended by all of you guys who just assume that the car has been beat on simply because the previous owner used it as a car and apparently dropped a lot of things on top of it. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's been neglected. My first Porsche was a 964 with dents in every single body panel except the roof and the engine cover. They were all removed by the dent wizard - I think it cost me about $350 back in 2000 or so, and I later sold that car to a friend who still has it today (I replaced it with the 993). The only serious problem that car ever had was a distributor failure, which I think was rather common. And we tracked the heck out of that poor puppy too.

So yes, cosmetically that car is poor, but the OP isn't worried about that. I'd say a fair price is around 20K, but my only caveat is that if you buy it, don't plan on getting your money back out of it if you decide to sell it any time soon. High mileage 993s don't seem to get much love around here.
