Only if you want to buy it! Price does seem aspirational.

This car is being sold by the Newport Beach, CA Porsche dealer. I'm in norcal but had a car buddy of mine in socal take a look. He said it's a nice car. Primary issues are some driver seat wear and the chromed wheels. I called them and they said they'd take $89K which is still too high. I gave them some market data supporting a mid $70K price. They weren't very professional via email or on the phone. I passed.

Is it the original 993 turbo badge? Maybe it's just the pic. One can get chromed wheels painted pretty inexpensively. I think it's worth $104......and the first $130K Canadian/ $133K US takes mine!

I actually think mid hi 80s is a fair price given the low miles.

FWIW....This car lived within a few miles of me which I found odd. How many Artic Silver/Rubicon Grey w/ sport seats were actually produced? I wouldn't think that there were very many. IIRC, the Rear seat delete and Black calipers were OE options on that particuliar car. It was listed on EBay for $75k 12 months ago-ish by a local PP and I thought it sold to a PP/RLister in Florida. The Carfax confirms it is the same car (serviced at Hoehn) but doesn't support the PP-PP sale.
