Ah.

I suspect they'll have plenty of time to correct the typo. That price is a bit strong.

As for the advice, I need to chime in with a +1 on the comments that you must negotiate your price before the PPI. Otherwise it's just a waste of money.

Funny. I didn't catch that. My auto search grabs 95-98 model listings. The rs wing is unbecoming. Probably a guy trying to make his green car look a bit more sporty. Its like the kid who puts aftermarket rims on his inherited grandmas beige camry.

True, good point, forgot it's 95. SAI still can be clogged but no CEL.

Thank you all, your replies have been very useful. Would the price for the following 993 be justified by the work and history of the car? Curious to get yur thoughts as part of my learning curve.

Looks nice enough - interesting history. I'm amazed and then again not really about the SAI related engine rebuild being covered by Porsche.

Joe Schmo 993 owner surely didn't get that kind of consideration from Porsche three years after the warranty expired. It's all in who you know. Or, as the Germans say "every customer is the same, some are just "same-r""...

I'm not sure what bump in value that car deserves being owned by a service manager. If Hurley owned it, different story. I think I can negate whatever positive spin they are weaving by speculating that the car had hard miles put on it during that time.

The statement about it being the fastest 993 they have driven is purely speculative. If a dyno run proved it was making gobs of power, then value may be there-but not a lot more.

At face value, this is another well-crafted story by a used car dealer, trying to elevate a car's value by ~50%.

Justified from whose perspective?

That's a 35-40k car in private market. Being FL car is not a positive. I would skip it, this kind of car will always pop up. I would much rather consider the black 993 from staten island mentioned here / being sold on RL for 13k less. That's enough money to fund any potential problems plus you can ask for the nice set of fuchs and duck tail.

Porsche roslyn regularly has a few 993. Priced in the 50s, but always pristine low mile....

Seems like a pretty tall request of someone.
