Default If you want to own a Mexico Blue...

I just saw this ad. No affiliation.

Mexico blue. It doesn't say if it's manual or tip but it has an OBC.

$48k CAD (or about $36k US). 138k km (86k miles).

First thing I would do is install CLEAR corners...

It is just me, or did they go through great pains to not show if it's a manual or auto?

think it mite have to do with how non-US cars are sold....I remember in HK a 1994 911 was a 993 whereas in the US it is a 964...

I just called the number and left a voicemail...everything was in French!

Looking at the last picture, it appears it's a be manual if you look at the center console.

I never knew that. IDK man no VarioRam for a 96 is something I've never seen; must perform much diligence on this one with matching numbers for engine i believe.
SCREAMS in person inspection; pretty though.

Just do some extra due diligence. Quebec is our Florida as far as title washing, and just plain automotive sketchiness.

Interesting things on this car--as noted, no vario ram. It also has the OBC which would give a higher likelihood to being a Tip, but the lack of controls on the steering wheel indicates otherwise (and as Paddy mentioned, the console pic looks like it is a manual).

Not exactly, the 993 was never labeled a 964 (and vice-versa)--the 993 was available as a 1994 MY ROW on the very early production, but was a 1995 in the US.
