G50 trans, cab, looks nice. I don't know the Italian market on pricing.....

The cab top if electrical can be a pain.....get the car inspected. Are the flares steel or fiberglass?

[Roc Doc]

Sorry Danilo, but my Italian is worse than your English, so I can't read the ad. I would recommend that you have a Pre-Purchase Inspection done by a reputable shop that is local to the car.

Good luck.

The car looks nice and 80k miles isn't bad.
Check if the air conditioning is working. Was a new clutch put in? Check the maintenance records. How is the leather on the seats? Any cracks?
Have a competent Porsche mechanic check the car out for you, especially compression and leak down test.
See if the transmission shifts correctly.
The color is beautiful!!!

thanks!
after tomorrow i send here the pics...yes i like this color..clutch "new" 20000km
but the price is "good" because the "proprietary" is "old" and on Hospital for serious problems, the wife want to sale fast

hood gap looks way off...the poor blue carpet didt wear well...

if you dont want the rear rubber bumpers I will help you with those
overall looks OK...get a PPI!!!

I´d say no not at that price anyway. The interior looks well worn especially the drivers wheel. Its a european turbolook and not an import so it should have 231bhp and not the 218 listed. Get the pre purchase inspection done. Something doesn´t feel right about this one...call it gut feeling

Just noticed its also a non original turbo look. If thats the case and is only has 218bhp then they´ve put European bodyparts on an American import. Big No from me(Non because of the US import just the lack of continuity)

[pplkook]

That seems like a lot of cash for that car - is it that difficult to import one? You could pick up nice cars in the US for that price.

Not sure the difference in market price between Europe and the US. The big thing is that it really takes a closer inspection to tell the difference between a perfect car and an ok car.

Pre Purchase Inspection is your friend.

vai avederla! giusto per non ripetere quanto scritto da altri

aggiungo

verifica che le modifiche alla carrozzeria e le dimensioni dei cerchi siano riportate sul libretto

(gli interni sono un pò vissuti)


ciao!

Hi/ciao All
i look today this car

Positive: interior/seats/capote/fuchs...engine start fast...not oil leak...eletrical options ok
Negative : small CRASH front right but the torsion bars and steering (look) ok, the car is stopped and unsold for a year I will still see it, the feel for a few km, If right deal on the price (-5000Euro= total 15.000), the price is NOT 25K but 20K

the heart says ok but no brain)))

(for Giovanni...le misure gomme sono sul libretto la carrozzeria non credo...è stata urtata davanti ma il mio amico(40anni capofficina alfa+porsche dice che appunto bisogna provarla)
