Is this a good deal? 84 911 carrera slant nose

Hello all! I came across this car and did some reading and I am almost positive it is not a factory slant nose. Yet it still seems like a good deal. It has low miles and very clean. I'm just having a hard time finding what it's worth and if it is a good deal so I need your opinions!

Here's the link

It's only as good as whoever did the work... doesn't look factory to me. The rear flares aren't wide like the Turbo's.

Personally, I would pay less for a slantnose... just not a fan of them. But, if the work is well executed and the rest of the car is good, that is a fair price. I'd verify the miles though.... 47k is pretty low and not always good for a car that likes to be driven.

18K for a 1984 with low miles is a good deal

it's a narrow body slant nose = 95% of the slant nose cars were built with Turbo flares -

when the factory did the 505 option - it was done with turbo flares...

make sure the sunroof closes all the way, and lookout for oil leaks on the engine. In one mat, there appears to be a leak, in another pic, there is a second mat. Why move mats around during a photoshoot?
