Same story, but a different car. Have had a good bit of communication with the owner so far. Has tons of records, but also a TON of aftermarket stuff. Had a topend rebuild about 35k miles ago along with a lot of good preventative maintenance done (all done by the owner though, not a shop). Has front/rear Ruf bumpers which I'm not sure how I feel about them; like the weight savings don't love the 964 look.
Any thoughts on the car. More importantly does $35k seem like a fair price or should all that aftermarket stuff not add quite that much? Obviously the 3.6L swap is worth something, but I would imagine that car without a swap would only get mid to high twenties at best given the mileage. Maybe not though, the maintenance has been pretty amazing.
Thanks and pray this one doesn't go to ****.

I think you are over thinking this. You aren't buying a million dollar car here. Its a nice used car. If you are willing to pay $35-ish, so is the next guy. Why are you over analyzing this so much?
You will get the same replies you got in the other thread, as its the same type of car (nonstock)...
Would you beat yourself up this much if you were buying a used minivan?
Most of us have way more in our cars than they are worth... its not all about dollars and cents. Life is short. Just buy a car and go enjoy it... If overpaying by a couple grand causes you sleepless nights,go buy a new car (and the associated depreciation!). Remember, buying the car is just a part of the cost... you still have to fix and maintain it ($-$$$)
