Nice car. What is up with the center console? Almost looks like a bat phone console.

Some nice Turbo S mods.

95k bid, but all the bids are by the same guy? The seller?

That is actually the factory consol if you had the built in cell phone.

and notice he has no feedback. Probably a dummy account set up by the seller to drive up the price.

The bid history looks bogus, but the car is immaculate. I'd say it's fairly in the upper ranges of Turbo prices for this mileage and if all the details can be validated and verified, surely it's worth well north of the initial $80K starting price. Things like listing the mileage as with a prefixal dollar sign makes me wonder. Still, at $95K, you're touching the bottom of the scruffy range of Turbo S prices and in such a depressed market, you might even find a decent Turbo S -- if you're the type to keep one of these cars and not drive it, then you're better off with the resale trajectory of throwing your money into an S. : )

Personally, I really like this car. The S polished wheels and calipers alone appeal. The seemingly immaculate cabin and engine bay are impressive in the photos. If the car in real life lives up to these pics, even if someone does pay $10K too much, they've got a helluva time capsule example. Me, I like 'em like that -- I can fix (and improve) the mechanicals, but if the chassis, body and cabin trim aren't up to snuff, there's no way to (affordably) wind back the hands of time.

Agree 100%, 85k would be a fair price. (95k, hell that's worth more than my car!) You're right, that is S money.

You actually point out a couple of the reasons for me to like this car less. I don't think that is a factory script on those calipers. And those wheels are not S finish, and even if they were, I don't think that it was available on non-Ss from the factory. If I were selling this car, I would restore it to factory original condition.

I don't think the bids are real. There have been no bids that high on the Mashall Goldman car that has far lower miles. Why would someone be bidding 95k on this and no where near that much on the other, similar, car?

I think it could be 80s, but 95 is not the right price for that car.

How can it have such little mileage?
