Wow is right. Very nice. Priced right, too.
Not to worry, though. Someone here will poo-poo it. |

That one is worth preserving... Love the wheels treatment!
It still looks very special. A true super car. Looking at the pictures it's hard to imagine the company we call Porsche today ever making a car this good. Maybe the new management should have a look at this car.

Look at it this way, it only cost $165.00 per year to own it if he gets the $55,000.00 sell price (and I think he will).

"100% Original."
Those tires look new.  Although this car is very clean, what kind of person buys it? Does it become a museum piece? Too many miles to really be a collectible (wait... the 930 isn't a collectible, as Porsche made 17,831 of them), and too few miles to be comfortable turning it into a daily driver (I mean, the thing is frickin' mint). So, assuming it is worth $55,000 to the right buyer (not me)... who buys this? What do they do with it? - Mike

I would put it up for auction at the big auction houses with a huge reserve and wait for the payday.

That car looks fabulous!
I did notice, the ad states that it has a "$4000 Chrome Alloy Wheel upgrade." Someone ruined some fuchs.

I'm not going to poo poo what is clearly a nice car, but those photographs have been massaged. The things you can do with photoshop...

Very nice looking car, but if I were going to pay that kind of dough for a 930, I'd go for this one, Kiln Red with Olive interior. Yeah baby!
ok this one is more $$$, but that's because of exhange rates:   For Sale: Porsche 911 Turbo (930)

Kiln Red with Olive. That was a special wishes car for someone who was profoundly color blind.

one thing for sure... it's for an investor who would prefer looking and talking about his holdings rather than enjoying and riding in it.

Oh come on - if you have the money, why not get a really nice example of a car you have always enjoyed. If I had the money, I would get the "mintiest" example of whatever I wanted to drive. Why not?
