don't think the seats look good in white. also don't think they had stitching avail in white.
in ontario 87 and older do not require emission test not sure what the rule is in quebec.
there is a low miles one advertised (30k miles) in panorama this month, it is red and in NJ (no affiliation). it is very reasonably priced at 15k. what is your budget? since it is over 15 you avoid RIV.
many of these cars are in good condition not many are pristine. good luck with the search.

Thanks, do you have by any chance the details of the Ad?

I know white or creme is more demanding on cleaning, but a black interior can do the job also

My bugget is around 13 000$ according to Pelican, I should be able to find a good one.

No test for emissions here in Qc.

Hi Guy

I have been driving and wrenching those 951 for almost ten years now in the Montreal area and I can tell you that pristine 944 turbo are pretty rare. From my experience 13,000$ will not get you a top shape 951 in Quebec unless you are pretty lucky. The offer across the border is much better and importing car in Canada is now very easy. Remember that paperwork is almost the same if you get a car in GTA.

Good luck and keep us inform on your find

About 8 years ago I was shopping with similar requirements... it took me 18 months and I had to comprimise in more then a few areas to get the 951 I wanted, and the price was close to $20K.... damn I loved that car...

My advice would be to go south... contact Christien to help...

I have a fairly pristine 951S (Siler Rose)which is in amazing shape and all original mechanics. The only changes to the car are a Fabspeed exhaust and cat, new steroe, Recaro seats and a factory racing steering wheel. I have been toying with selling it to get into something else. PM me if interested. Being a rare 951S $13K won't do it.

I kinda agree with others here, for 13K you could get CPR's https://rennlist.com/forums/944-turb...nd-modded.html but after shipping, tax, inspection, etc. you'd be over your 13K limit. A mint Canadian 951 for this amount will be hard to find in my opinion.

There is also a sweet looking turbo s for $10750 in charcoal.
Also a white '87 for $10900

Good luck

Take a look at this one

https://rennlist.com/forums/for-sale...987-951-a.html

Price is good and with your budget leftover maybe you can make it almost pristine.

Did you check the one available on lespacs?.

if your not confident or your experience is limited with this particular model get a good PPI prepared before buying. The are very good car but remember they are almost 25 years old.

Good luck

The one on LesPacs is bizarre.. Hood does not align with the rest of the front fender, 210 000miles on it...
Will prefer to pay more for a good exemple than one without a dark past history...
was advertised last summer at 8500$, now pricier...

Your link

does not work


Thank you all.

Sorry! I just notice that you are not a registered (paying) member and that why you do not have access to this section (for sale members to members) of Rennlist.
