hey guys, not trying to sell here cause my membership has expired and I know that's against the rules, but I've been kind of out of the loop for a while so I want to know what's fair to sell my car for. If someone here wants it, I suppose I could renew my membership to make things legit.

There's about 140k on it, it's got some dings and dents as per usual. It gets me everywhere I want to go almost every day though. I love it.

pros:
full 3" exhaust
lindsey boost enhancer
chips - running at 15psi
boost and A/F gauges
recent timing & balance belt plus front engine seals
service records since the 90's
brand new battery
uncracked dash
garaged every winter
great tires

cons:
burns a bit of oil.
needs thermofan switch(which I have)
alternator belt squeals intermittently at night, not sure why yet
has a stalling issue which I have narrowed down to the sensors behind the manifold
needs new porsche emblem on the front

I don't want to sell it, at all... in fact the thought is actually downright depressing. I've had this thing for like 5 years and I've loved (almost) every minute of it. But I'm trying to build up my business and unfortunately I think I've gotta get some different priorities for now :-\

Pics would help, but i'm thinking like 4-6k.

Clowd

Roger that. I only have a bunch of outdated pics. I'll make it a point to take some this week.

ps- I paid $6000 for it in 2005

BlueRiver86

Yeah, best case with good paint/interior. My concern is that an engine with 140k that burns oil is not a good starting point for most people.

CPR

Is it the Turbo burning oil, or the motor?

Clowd

I think it's the Turbo. and now that I think about it, I think I have a rear seal leak too cause if the car sits for a day or two, then it gets a bit smoky from the oil on the exhaust burning up.

carlege

rear cam tower seal? or just the cam tower seal?

Just curious what maintenance have you done to this car or had done?

CPR

I think he is referring to the rear main.

The DareDevil

Nice to see you still have the car!

Clowd

yeah rear main.

I've done the timing and balance belts(and the retension) and the front engine seals, plus a bunch of little other odds and ends. The car has been really good to me, hasn't needed too much. the belts were just preventative too.

I have a bunch of service records from before I owned it, it's got a pretty new clutch and a newish head+headgasket(P/O broke the timing belt)

Clowd

hey man!! how have you been?? glad to see you are still around too haha

Clowd

How fast do you guys think I could sell this at like, $4500?

BlueRiver86

You'd have to put it up and see. Look around a bit and see what kind of shape the other 4-5k 951s are in.

You really need to post some picture for a more accurate guesstimate.
