1997 Porsche 993 Turbo.
Hello everyone,
So as some of you may know i recently sold my 2006 Carrera 4S and was looking at buying a 993 C4S.
After researching i ended up finding the perfect 1997 993 Turbo.
I had been working on the deal for the past 2 weeks and after much deliberation with the wife etc i have decided that it's not the right choice for me at the moment.
Can't afford to spend this kind of money right now. And some of you know the wife is always the boss.
So it is with extreme sadness that i will have to pass on the deal.
I started the whole process on the purchase and had left a 1000$ deposit on the car.
The owner of the car refused at least 10 buyers because of me and at this point i am now taking charge of moving the car for him.
So a little about the car.
This is a 1997 993 Porsche Turbo in Arctic Silver with full burgundy leather ( i think the colour is called flamenco red but don't quote me on it )
It has many desirable options including sport back seats , white gauges with aluminum trim , xenons, sunroof , 6 disc cd changer , aluminum e-brake and shifter and more...
The car is a 2 owner car and has only 41000 miles or 67000km .
This is a Canadian car and has never seen an inch of snow.
Is is absolutely stunning and runs absolutely flawlessly.
I ran a PPI on it and will be providing you with the results.
Everything checks out perfectly. The turbos on the car were changed this year and are OEM and were bought directly from Porsche brand new.
This is a major bonus since you basically have brand new turbos on the car.
I can put you in touch with the people who did the PPI and you can ask them any questions you would like.
They had nothing but amazing things to say on the car and confirmed that it ran flawlessly.
Brakes are new and tires are new.
I just did a complete detailing on the car inside out and it looks brand new.
I ran a carfax,carproof and autocheck report and everything came back perfect. I will provide you with these documents as well.
The car has never been accidented.
Things that need to be done on the car :
- Windshield washer fluid pump needs to be replaced.
- Air conditioning fluid needs to be filled
- Alignment
That's it that's all.
As i said the car is awesome .
So there you have it.
I really can't believe that i had to pass on this amazing car but i know that one day i will have my chance again.
If anyone has any questions please feel free to email me at youval@me.com or pm me.
Asking price is 68000$

I say BS. He did not have "10 buyers". Is he keeping your $1,000 deposit?

Well i did hear a few voicemails of people that called for the car.
If i push he might give it back to me but i honestly feel pretty bad. I've been dragging this for over 2 weeks.
I spent 200$ on the PPI and i spent 200$ on the Detailing job . Which at this point is essentially gone as well...

+1...i am also calling his bluff. Not in this economy is the seller getting ten offers unless it was a ridiculous sale price. Stuff happens...so if you can't afford it right now you should have the right to back out. My vote is that you tell him to move the car. Unless I am not understanding the entire story behind this transaction.

I spent over 2 weeks preparing everything and then backed out last minute...
I know that if i push hard enough i will get my 1000$ deposit back but i figured i would help him move it.
I am sure he will surely call back some of the people but figured why not post it here for you guys as well...

Am I understanding this correctly...you had the car detailed before buying it?
I'd offer to split the deposit...$500 apiece...and walk away. Canadian cars are a tougher sell in the US and the last thing you want is additional liability by "helping" the owner sell the car and god forbid some issue arises after the new buyer takes possession.
