The fact that it's a 911 means it could be called a boonet, lol

I asked the seller for a copy of the carfax and I'll see if they come through. I like the color, feel the screens give it a sporty look, actually like the wing and carerra decal, the interior shows little wear.


My only concern is when I Google earthed the address in the add it comes back to a body shop. I asked specifically if there was any paint work or accidents that would not have been reported to carfax.

I was referring to the Joyzee car. The one in Lapis. The Chicago car also looks nice and lower mileage. I just like the lapis blue color.

I know someone who had a car with the cinnamon interior. It's got more of a reddish hue than the natural brown, but it's not as red as it photographs. I'd characterize it as a dark tan with a tinge of red.

I think that color only came in full leather, i.e. acres of dead cow. IMO it's a much nicer interior than the base Tupperware. I think it looks great.

I have the radiator screens and like them. I've been meaning to pull the screens to see if there's any difference in cooling with them on or off, but didn't notice any difference after I first installed them.

I'd love to see more pics if it is cinnamon and not NBL. I have a friend with terra cotta leather interior, and that's pretty unique.

MSGGrunt

Is this terra cotta?

Thoughts on this car? I will be going to look at it sometime this weekend unless running the Carfax shows something out of the ordinary.

I know I said I wanted a bright color but, 23,000 miles is attractive. I asked the seller and he did say that the car did not sit for long periods of time.

I guess red is a love it or leave it color. Funny thing is one of the first cars I drove was my parents 1964 Thunderbird (in 1983) that was bright red with bright red interior and I owned a BMW E30 that was silver with cardinal red interior so maybe red interiors have a way of finding me???

NO IMS or RMS but, the cam chain guides have been done. Should I be concerned that they were or needed to be done at such low miles?

Mike Murphy

23k is quite low, and even if driven weekly still only represents 24 miles per week, which is an absolute minimum for a car like this. Even if only driven on nice days, it sat a LOT.

MSGGrunt

Yeah, I like low miles but.... What would a car with this few miles have for surprises and would a PPI catch theses issues?

Would this just be full of issues or is there no knowing?

Mike Murphy

A PPI would only catch some issues. The biggest problem is that low mileage cars don't always get the same frequency of fluid changes that higher mileage cars get. And the seals on these cars can wear out faster when not used.

It's best to look at the maintenance history to be sure.

Or maybe a respected auction site like this one

LOL, you will find yourself on that slippery slope of 911-LOVE. Which is cool btw given that afterwards you will sink considerable money in it. But it is worth it everytime you take it for a drive.

It is a pristine, very low mileage car and IMHO one that 5-10 years from now will hold its value. Yes, you would need to do a major maintenance on it with all fluids changed, RMS/IMS/AOS and keep some change on the bank for bits&pieces falling off. But I think it is a great car, provided you like the interior colour! Good luck!

FWIW, I bought my C2 about a month ago in TN with 23k miles on it. Carfax was clear and nothing that stood out. Only issue I had was a bad battery that didn't come about until after I swapped the radio.

Only thing is it is scheduled for IMS, AOS, RMS, and a few other things first week of August just for peace of mind. People say the low miles are a concern, but I've been driving the **** out of mine. But like it's been stated, regardless of miles, get ready to dump money into it. Exhaust, window tint, wheels, preventative maintenance...., it adds up fast.

Since this has the super rare mid-engine mod I guess you should have a look at it. If you don't want silver, don't get silver. Low miles, priced about right, maybe a little high. He's going to have a hard time selling with that interior. No aero, Most people will run the other way. Not my cup of tea, meh.

MSGGrunt

Mid-engine huh? I too caught that. Why is it that a small thing like that sets off all kinds of alarms to me? Wouldn't a Porsche owner know the difference between mid and rear engine?


I ran a car fax and it does come back as a one owner car. No accidents. The last noted "Dealer" service was a brake flush in 2006. I asked the owner about this and he told me that he had the car serviced at an indy and has the records to prove it when and if I look at the car in person.


I don't hate silver and I don't mind the red interior. Maybe worth a trip to go and look at it.

MSGGrunt

The Chicago car had a front end collision in 2010 that required it to be towed but, no mention of airbag deployment. How much should or would this effect the overall value.

Still exploring the red Aero optioned car.
