They will ask for 30-40 good pictures, each 1MB should be fine. The more transparency you can create, the better the result. For a 911, it might be worthwhile to have compression and leakdown tests performed, as well as take photos with a paint meter showing readings at different spots on the body. Anything you can do to reduce the risk of a transaction that you hope will get you in the range of your asking price is worth it to do.

Best of luck with the sale however you choose to transact. Just know that BaT is a better marketplace than eBay any day of the week.

If I or the buyer wants to perform a compression or leak down test don't the spark plugs have to be removed? From what I understand that's an expensive job. Also, the car is 30 years old, what if the plugs break inside the head? Now I have a bigger problem on my hands. Then once the test is done am I expected to put 30 year old spark plugs back in? Granted the car only has under 45k miles but still. At that point you might as well put new plugs in, now you have a 1000 dollar plus job just to test the health of the engine. If you disagree let me know
