I admit I'm out of th eloop on 964 prices, but this seems to good to be true.

looks like a pristine example.
'95 993 prices in the high $20ks have pushed the 964 prices down to the high teens to mid twenties. The worry of big $$ engine tear down for head/cyl leaks and cyl/case leaks has had an impact on prices as well ( debatable if it is an over-reaction by the market). This '90 model would have the failure prone dual-mass fly-wheel too, unless already changed by a PO.
IMO, finding a nice 964 now can be the biggest bang for the 911 buck. .... you just have to have a few extra dollars tucked away 'just in case' I guess that last sentence goes for any 911

.
There are probably not too many 30k mile 964s out there to compare its' price to. The thing with the 964s is that sometimes buying a somewhat higher mile car means the two aforementioned repair$ have been done.

just my 2 cents

I see what you mean, Max. If all the updates have been done, this car looks like a deal. As a purveyor of buying used cars, I always like to keep a little 'just in case' stash. Perhaps it's time to hunt the archives for some 964 information.

By the way, just saw the picture thread you started a while back- Dig the photo of your car looking up from the flowers!

Paul, seeing your White Stripes avatar and quote, I should have known you would stash away some extra funds

You may want to do some reading on the rennlist 964 discussion forum
A good book to read through would be Adrian Streather's 964 book
EDIT: the book is available right here at Pelican Parts, item # PEL-GP64

Lol, I could be coy and say that's what I was intending to imply all along, but in all honesty that was the only Stripes lyric I could think of that fit! A happy coincedence nontheless

Now if only their DVD would come out already!

....anywho, thanks for the tip about Adrian's book. I was a rennlist addict prior to finding pelican, but I must admit I don't make it over much. I do recall the 964 section gets high traffic!
