This car has been for sale since April on eBay and their website. I called and spoke to Steve who identified himself as the owner of legend auto group a month ago. I asked him a few questions which he said he had to get answers for and then to send me the carfax and any records he had for the car. He told me he had very limited service records and didn't know what work was done on the car beyond that. I left my email and phone number but never received a reply back. So not exactly an inspiring sales expirence in this instance.

Just add 10K on top of that price + shipping and Taxes to get the car in top shape. You are $90k+ which sounds about right.

Probably needs a new front bumper and front-end respray judging from the 2 impacts and pitting. EBay ad suggests the Carfax is available on the website but couldn't find a link or any description, just more pics.

The car looks pretty good - looks like to air wall is broken which is no biggie, and yeah a front end respray along with new stone guards look to be in order. Great price for the mileage and If the engine is in good shape, I think you add $ 5k and it's good! Suspension looks original so that may need an upgrade too I guess... I love that color through.
I did the respray on the front and stone guards for under 5k - air wall was $ 110 bucks I think..

4 owners clean carfax. The first owner only had the car about 10 months and 1000 miles. Car looks to have been regularly serviced according to the carfax. Selling dealer has had the car nearly a year which is odd. I suspect he had it listed a lot higher at first.
Looks like a pretty nice driver in a good color that you could address the small stuff over time. Little work on the front bumper and respray that would clean it up well, maybe a grand there. The rest is in the details. A new round of rubber, a round of pads and rotors is a couple of grand. The orange peel in the pic below suggests some poor paint work? Hard to tell just from that photo. Price is pretty fair for todays market.

That dealer/danny/jhm legend, bought my very similar midnight 993 c4s,was a easy transaction. I honestly think the price is about right..air cooled market has definitely softened.

I've come back to that listing on the Legend Car Company website a few times. The carfax is on there. The thing that caught my eye, other then the multiple bumps to the nose, is the recurring A/C recharges in the carfax service history. Is that typical, or a sign of kicking the repair can down the road? It's only accumulated a few K miles in the past three years, which is when the last A/C recharge is listed.
I will say that the asking price is among the lowest out there, given the miles, but the lack of records, and the multiple knocks to the nose makes my spidey sense tingle. Something about the paint doesn't look quite right in a few of the pics, either.
Just one man's thoughts....

$75,900 ... so original with zero mods. Prob needs several thousand to get it well sorted just my guess.
