I always thought "Inexpensive Porsche" was an oxymoron?

That's what i say, the cost of admission isn't bad, but it's the rides you have to pay for.

Have your friend PM me the details. I'd be very interested. I've had my eye on 996 coupes for a while, but there haven't been many clean ones around for those prices.

Thanks for the tip. Nice clean body and interior with a recent engine rebuild. Deposit sent.

Well I guess I learned a few things from this post. I still think for the DIY this could be a good deal. Most of the parts needed can be sourced used on EBay. I doubt it would be 10K to fix that right quarter though. Really who cares about accident history on a 12+ year old car. Fix it and drive the wheels off it.
