just a heads up. a car that old and with that many miles will definitely need the suspension refreshed. All that rubber is bound to be worn out.

Yep, I planned on upgrading the suspension.

Looks like a pretty nice example at a decent price, at a Porsche dealer no less... Clean carfax polar silver six speed coupe! The've had it for sale for over three months, wonder why they haven't been able to sell it. Might be the price history (see below)

Here's the direct link: PorscheOfArlingtonTurbo

Thanks Guys. I've actually seen that car and inquired, but it's not the right car for me.

Hopefully you didn't buy the black car at Keeler benz in LATHAM NY buy it sure sounds like it. Check the roof. Its full of bondo and poor repairs. There were a few other dents they filled as well. I saw it come off the truck.

Question
What do you know about that particular car? I tried to piece together the history. Did it arrive damaged or repaired? Just curious what happened to that one, and who did the repairs.

You sure it wasnt the car? They may have moved it to another dealer. Last i knew they couldn't even find a buyer at auction for $30k. They advertised new water pump and brand new tires. The tires were general brand. I lost faith in keeler after i saw that mess being sold there. Will never buy a car from them. And BAT cars are sold way to high, great place for a seller horible for a buyer.

FYI this car is back up on their web site with a new higher price lol. They must've done more work to cover up the damage. Hood, roof and rear lid were all damaged. www.keelermercedesbenz.com/used-Latham-2002-Porsche-911+Carrera-Turbo-WP0AB29942S687583
