By independent report, the car is very very nice....looks, runs, drives, shifts and stops as it should for being an '89 930 w/ 9,xxx miles.

So, are you relying on 3 year old information or has this car been driven recently?

All 6 911's that my brother and I have bought over the years were bought without a PPI. So, if you know what you are doing and what you are looking for on 911's, you can get by without a PPI. I don't recommend this for people that have not been around these cars much.
However, money fixes all problems with these cars.
$53,500 is a fair price if the car is immaculate cosmetically, has full documentation from day 1, has original paint and interior materials, has a verifiable 9,000 miles and runs and drives reasonably well. These ultra low mileage cars are in a league all of their own and command premium prices since they are collectible at that mileage.
The '89 Turbo's are special too in that they are the only impact bumper 930's with the G-50 5 speed transmission. They are the last of the old school look Turbo's with an updated transmission. Very desireable.
If you want a driver, look elsewhere. As Kurt and Luke say above, it'll depreciate heavily once you start driving it. It's worth the most with miles under 10k and then will start tanking once you hit 20k on the odometer.
Let us know what you find this weekend! Good luck!
