Dudes, the feelgood-o-meter is running high right now.

I just committed a huge sin in the eyes of flippers and money grubbers...but pulled a huge solid for a stranger who is a true Porsche enthusiast.

Story:
My uncle owns a large used car dealership, only deals in high end late model cars, but has personal special interest in vintage american muscle...so he has no clue about the Porsche scene. Excitedly calls me the other day about an '83 coupe, dark charcoal (excellent orig color respray) 2nd/3rd owner, 113k, dutifully maintained by Auto Assoc here in CT (great shop if you've not heard of them)...

This 69y/o uninformed seller is only selling because he's only put 12k on it in 14/15years...he want's $18.500.

So, I talked to Mrs Saucy, told her what i was going to do and if she was comfortable with me passing on the $ that's available. She told me with the new baby coming, go for the do good.

I just spent 30mins on the phone with this guy informing him of what his car is actually worth. He told me he heard something about the values changing but doesn't own a computer but reads car magazines. In the end he told me the I "was a God send" and we're scheduled to meet-up, go through the car, and write an ad which I'll post in the FS here for starters.

Flippers be haters but if the tables were turned I would hope someone would help me instead of take me.

I hope this works out for this guy as he's a great dude.
