I am looking at purchasing a 951 and wanted to run some things by you guys for some thoughts.
1986 951 $10,000
New belts/rollers/water pump/front seals 2 months ago
New rack and tie rods
New plugs/wires/cap&rotor/filters
New motor mounts
New speakers
Vaccuum lines replaced and updated
New brakes
115,000 miles. Car was garaged and not driven for 10 years (Says owner). Which is not necissarily a good thing. The owner is a mechanic and has done a pretty good ammount of recent service...he uses it as a daily driver now. Is there anything I should be looking at with a car that sat garaged for 10 years? This was in the past....it has been regularly driven as of recently.
Also as you can see from the photos above, two of the 16" phonedials are bent up from hitting a curb....They look like they got whacked pretty hard....Should I be concerned about this? Could a hit this hard bend the frame/axles....anything like that? The owner has 17" turbo twist replicas on order and new michelin tires. He will sell the car with or without the rims/tires but wants $2000 for the set. The car is 10,000 without new rims/tires.
Interior and exterior are described as being in excellent condition.
I have not seen this car in person. I wanted to get some feedback before I went any further with this.
So what do you think? Seller is not very motivated so I don't think I can bargain down too far on this one...may $1000 less or so.
Thanks
