'98 C2S
Vesuvio / Black
Manual, Aerokit II
72k miles, $86,900
Ad states the car is all original, one owner and original paint, although it is for sale by a dealer not a private party.
EDIT: Googled the VIN and it is also listed at RMC for $99,500 and they claim the car is in Miami... that is a bit strange as the Cars ad has it in NYC. FYI and do your DD as always

Bottom line, if this car is of ANY interest to you, I suggest you speak with Matt, reach some kind of understanding re price, and get a great PPI. I am pretty sure he wants to move this car, so keep that in mind.
Good luck and let me know if I can HelpUHelpMe. :-)

Yes, it's been around for awhile. Something about the dealer didn't sit right with me. He was asking 95k earlier this year... For a C2S in Vesuvio, this is a great price IMO. Obviously needs to be checked out thoroughly. Proceed with caution RL...

Interesting about the Real Muscle connection. My strong and reasonably informed impression was that Matt of Allthingsporsches had it and I thought the car was in the NY area, but I do know he has cars here (NY area) and in FL, so don't know about this one.

I inquired about this car back when it was originally for sale by another seller. This car was originally for sale in FL then Matt, allthingsporsche, whoever they are acquired it (unless they are the same person as the original seller in FL). This car is in NYC as I know where the photos were taken. They have been sitting on this car for almost a year now.
For personal direct experience, I tried to buy a porsche from them a while back. I looked at the car which was being kept at a house and then they told me they had the car sold but if I gave them selling price plus X they'd cancel the deal on the 1st seller. I was not interested in doing business with someone like that. Additionally, allthingsporsche was kicked off eBay recently they would put up no reserve auctions (most recently repeatedly the Polar C2S and this Vesuvio) then when they didn't get the price they wanted they simply would not sell the car to the winning bidder or something along those lines, this was all in the eBay feedback. Anyone looking at a car for sale by them tread carefully.

Personally, I wouldn't necessarily conclude that. I have met the seller and have had various interactions with him, some of which were less than stellar. But if he had a car in which I was interested--AND THE CAR CHECKED OUT--I would not let him get in the way of a good car. I will say that some how he is able to land a host of very interesting cars.
(One little anecdote that is more humorous than anything...about 18 mos. ago I went on a test drive with him in a 993 and while on the drive, he wanted to stop for a pizza. So we stopped and then he brought a full-size pizza into this relatively little car. It was a first for me.)

Rennlist is an amazing resource. Perhaps the original owner can be found and someone could learn more about the car. I know Matt would like to sell it and he ain't getting the kind of dough he expected.

I bought a 993 from RMC earlier this year and it has easily been the biggest nightmare of my car buying life. PM me if anyone wants a laundry list of reasons not to deal with them.
For what it's worth, I bought it as a project knowing I was going to restore it. Not looking for an investment car at all. It's still a total disaster. Yes I had a PPI. No I didn't use their recommended shop.
