Red is the fastest color!
If the PPI checks out try to buy it in the $20s even though it might be worth the $33K asking price cuz mkts are still pretty depressed right now...
Let us know how the negotiations go and Good Luck!

Not sure if its just poor photo quality but interior looks a tired and very faded. I'm also not crazy about the aftermarket stuff (shift ****, speakers/holes in door panels, steering wheel). Also, I wonder what happened to the rear windshield wiper. Its was standard equipment on the coupes, and it looks like it was replaced with the plug used on a Turbo Cabriolet rear spoilers (Cabriolets didn't have the rear windshield wiper). Maybe it was removed to save weight, maybe it was damaged? I like my cars 100% stock, but if you like it, if the PPI checks out, and if you can get a good deal then maybe its something to consider.
Best regards,

If all checks out (ppi) then proceed forward. Price is definetly in the ball park. The aftermarket items are not horrible. They can always be reversed. If I were in the market I would give this car a consideration(as long as the original OP passes on it). It looks like a car one could actually enjoy, without paying an outrageuos price and than having the fear of driving it to avoid depreciation.
Buy it...than drive it like you stole it...GL

A good site to at least see what asking prices are.......on the other hand doing a completed listings search on EBAY shows an entirely different picture of what bidders are buying for.

Looks like a nice car and I wouldn't worry about any cosmetic mods because you can undo them if you like. As for me I had the same steering wheel and it's a lot better than the fake airbag model Porsche put on them originally. I would imagine that the IC interfered with the wiper motor and that is why its gone. I had the same interior and it always photographs like it's faded but it's probably not. It's called a champagne not a tan. PPI PPI PPI PPI PPI PPI!

They didn't mention that the AC compressor is not in the car. Offer them 10K less on account of the non-running condition and other mechanical issues...but only if you're willing to tackle them yourself. Otherwise.....run Forest, run!!!
