The 951 I turned down for 4k was in better shape than that by far.

I got an 87 951 that had been T-boned for $2,000. 116,000 easy miles (till he got hit). LSD, sport seats (in great shape), M474 suspension, plus a couple extra sets of wheels (phonies and sewer lids) and a bunch of other stuff.

This guy's car has been severely abused - at 176,000 miles, the engine and LSD trans are probably good as cores but not a helluva lot else.

I wouldn't even pay $1,000.

A very sad car. People like that shouldn't be allowed to own Porsches.

Haha that last one was funny. "original rims" yeah right. But I think he should have told me one more time how he doesn't want to sell it, just to make me more interested...

$10,000 - That is a massive amount of money for a pretty basic car with faults..also 'original rims on the tires'...?? How do you put a rim on a tyre? Isn't it the other way round?

Guy's a muppet...

The car in the first OP add looks pretty nice except for the body damage all along the side and front of it, but needs a lot of expensive maintenance on a motor that already has 170,000 miles.........truly a $2000 car.

The car in the second add doesn't look that nice, needs an expensive clutch replacement, and who knows what else, with faded paint, and to top it off, a non-turbo.........truly a $2000 car.

He was right about one thing but for the wrong reason: if you want "to be respectable among the fellow Porsche community" you wouldn't pay $4500!

That's it, I'm selling my 1984, with 107k miles for... Let's see... Yeah OK, $$$. In fact, I take the loss with a trade for any Lambo (must be 2013 or newer) or acreage in Hawaii. I'll even throw in a rear glass hatch for an additional Ferrari (any model) or unclaimed winning lottery ticket although I would be getting the bad end of the deal, right?

Ok, I'm awake now...

Yeah. Every post he's made is just a one line snippet of text from earlier in the thread.

There was another one of these maybe a month ago. Can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would do this.

But it's obviously a bot.
