Good Value?

Car #1:

1988 Targa. 50k miles, newer tires, turbo tail, 996 steering wheel. 2 owners, service records for the last 5 years. Asking $20k.

Car #2:

1988 Cab. 90k miles, wide body conversion (non-factory), RS wing, BBS wheels. No service records, 4 owners. Asking $20k.

Both cars of course would be PPI'd.

What youse think?

#1 sounds reasonable to me.

I'd stay away from #2 just because I don't like the unknown around conversions. Plus, wide body and RS wing sounds way too gaudy to me.

Search is not happening. However, I'm going to see Tim Holt tomorrow to look the Baltic Blue 89 over again. He sent me a note and wanted to discuss pricing again so I'll give him another chance.

Not sure what I'll do tomorrow since my current company is ready to fold. I got a plum of a job offer that I took but was sent a note telling me that my contract had to be reviewed by the board on Monday. Good thing I didn't resign today as I was planning!

That's the job. Not Porsche factory but a company based in Germany; went over for an interview, etc. The board meeting may be a formality and I'm probably worrying over nothing since one of the senior head honchos really wants me on board.

I'm just bummed because the offer is fantastic and I don't want it going south. It was like a punch in the gut this morning when I got that email.

The blue one over at Tim's is a sweet car.


I agree with the pack here, the Number 1 car sounds like a better deal so long as the PPI is reasonable. Lose the 996 wheel not even sure how or why someone would put a 996 ab wheel on an 88.
