Son of a bitch. I had a PPI set up for the Red 993 for tomorrow, and the seller e-mails me to tell me that he just accepted a deposit to buy the car without the PPI.

If someone else is that thirsty you're not gonna be able to buy that car right. It sucks, but it is what is is unless you want to spend way too much.

Cue some guy bitching on a forum in a few weeks about buying a 993 with a ton of issues and being mocked for not getting a PPI.

Motronic posted:This is a good point. It is not a good point.  Although I’m still butt hurt over the guy selling it literally the day before the PPI. Not sure I’d want to buy a car across the country without one/seeing it. Red_Fred posted:This means you need to buy the green 996 turbo Jymmybob posted:Join the guided missile club Yeah still considering it, but I think my heart still wants something less practical/driveable. I’ve been getting jealous of all the old air cooled cars I’ve been seeing around the neighborhood. This is the twin of the car: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1997-porsche-911-46/ But paying 70-80k for a base 993 seems bonkers, although it is a garage queen.

I'm looking at a few Arena Red 993s and maybe an Aventurine green one. I think that's what I'm shooting for, especially since a 993 was my dream car at 12.

Got a line on an affordable-ish 2011 GT3 RS with an annoying DME report: Stage 1: 435 at 289 hours Stage 2: 95 at 285 hours Stage 3: 21 at 285 hours Stage 4: 6 at 285 hours Stage 5: 0 Stage 6: 0 Currently 562 hours on the engine. Seller makes the argument that if the engine hasn't blown up in the 270+ hours since the over-rev event, it is unlikely to do so because of this. Haven't done a PPI yet, but would this be an automatic disqualifier?

That was babby's first (possibly only) track day. E: just to make sure you know, the total combined time of range 2-4 events is well under one second. I didn't bother looking up the ranges to do the math.....it's that far under. As I recall, range 3 on that car should be like 360 ignitions per second.

I offered 57k for a 993 they're asking 65k for:quote:I’ll try to have them tomorrow, serviced by Lufteknic in Richmond, VA during prior ownership. I’m sure they’d be more than happy to vouch for the car as well. gently caress used car salesmen so hard. edit: told him nicely to gently caress off.

Bajaha posted:As they say, nothing more expensive than a cheap Porsche. That thing isn't really all that cheap. Certainly not for that level of damage. It needs $6k in engine work and brakes alone. Potentially more. Then it needs an unknown amount of bodywork and a $4k respray. So by the time you're done you've spent at least $25k on a car that's gonna be worth $20k on a good day due to the body damage, and will never be truly right again. And could have just spent $25k or less on any number of other 35-50k mile C4s that haven't been hit, repsrayed and left to leak all over the place.
