$33.5K for a n '82SC? 19k miles?

Looks like the original Pirelli's.

That's a LOT of money...

No affiliation whatsoever, just saw it...

If I had 33k to blow, I'd buy something needing a motor for 6-7K, drop 20-22k for one HELL of a motor build, and use the rest as needed. That's just me. It is a very nice example, but I think I might be afraid to drive it

What is that watery stuff under the engine?

Could it be oil?

Maybe the pics are bad, but that left rear end looks like it has seen more than 19k miles.

The price issue aside, somebody lower that car please - it looks higher than my Outback in those pictures.

Only put the 19,000 miles on it, rock crawling! Yep, the tires may be dry, but the engine certainly does not look dry.

For $33K, it better be the nicest SC on the planet rather than something that needs cosmetic fixes. Nevermind what looks like oil soaked card board underneather.

I'd take a well taken care of driven 911 over a car like this any day.

Unless my eyes are failing me, that doesn't look like the OEM steering wheel.

19k miles on a twenty year + car....hmmmm?

Only driven on holidays I guess.

I don't believe the mileage for a second. If that was really the case he would be promoting it to the serious collector.

It's definitely the original steering wheel.

Those are sport seats also.

That's also oil under that motor.

Do you think he'd take $32k ??

What a joke. Change the tires yourself? Polish yourself? Only slight wear? Sounds like he changed the speedometer and added $20k to the price.

That price isn't IMO that far off the mark [-5000?] if the car indeed only has 19,000 miles.
The problem is the minute you put serious miles on it the car depreciates like a lead balloon down to the teens.

The complete lack of attention to detailing would suggest to me that the seller is either looking for a quick flip/score or is a relative of an inattentive owner and is clueless about prepping the car for sale and valuation. Funny, too, is that there's no reference in the ad to a stack of receipts and/or service records.

"Concourse" car? The "cleanest 1982 Porsche 911SC in 'existance'? Not by a long shot.
