AC/911's

These dealers just help the values stay high for sure, someone will pay $90ish, but most likely not RL member or a patient buyer, I buy all my cars Private Party anyway, no Tax in AZ unless I buy from a Dealer, which I doubt I'd ever do.

Market conditions dictate pricing

Not those RL members who are unwilling to pay

I've had many of these cars to know, 18k 993tt, right now, NOT $93k. Never said RL listers had anything to Do with market either, Just saying most are SMART enough not to pay full retail. My Opinion.

I actually like the car and I'm thinking of going to see it. I'm been looking for a 993tt for some time now. Any thoughts on the dealer? I called and asked if they would allow a PPI inspection at the nearest Porsche dealership. They said the Porsche mechanic would come to them. New to Rennlist. Any help would be appreciated.

I would get an independent to inspect before the dealer - most of the mechanics at the dealerships did not have hair when these cars were made..

Make sure you get a full compression/leakdown, and even if you can an inspection of the exhaust ports to confirm the ceramic liners are in place (optional though - it means a lot of risk because you need to take the heat exchangers off). The compression/leakdown/compression is at least 4 hours of work.

These cars are quite solid though, but for that kind of money, you want peace of mind. If they refuse, then walk.

Good luck!

Cheers,

Mike

Tried to send you a pm.

I have bought 4 cars from MGMSL, and they have always been perfect. MGMSL has a rep for having great cars, but high prices.

The local Porsche dealer is about 10 min away, and I would not be surprised if they did not have a relationship with some of the mechanic's.

If I were buying I would get a PPI at Steinel's, a Porsche only specialty garage.

Thank you guys.

Have it ppi'd. It's been in a front ender.

jcoles

Wow...not good. Do you know that for sure? For that price I thought the car would be in near perfect condition. That changes things.

Jamie140

I know very few things for sure, but I do know this:

1. the previous owner disclosed a front end accident to me

2. I spoke with the dude who owned the body shop that completed the repairs.

3. I obtained a copy of the repair bill.

4. I passed on the car for no reason other than the accident, not the repair. Who knows, the car may be perfect. I never saw the car nor had it inspected.

jcoles

I called MG. Thank you again for the info .

Out of curiosity does the repair/crash not show up on the carfax?

Seems like there are lots of Turbo's on the market now.

Mike J

Well, it is spring. :-)

Not sure that there are that many, and how many I guess depends on your criteria. :-)

I think that Car Fax is a good indicator, but definitely not the only source you should rely on .. seen a few cases of accident damage not being on it.

Cheers,

I was wondering in the case of this particular car with the funky interior - was the damage/repair not listed on the car fax?

I had a 'front end encounter' with a tree and my old e36 M3 and the alignment would never line up properly after that nor did the tires wear evenly/equally as they should have. It did seem to drive nicely however. Great steering feel on those cars.

I must have seen 6 993 Turbo's on cars.com last night although none with the elusive hardback seat, rear wiper delete and sunroof delete ;-) Let alone any one of those items.
