********************************************************
This car is in great mechanical condition. I bought it with about 100K on it and have owned it since 2000, putting mostly highway miles on it. It does have 180K, but has only had 30K in the last 9 years, though I drive it regularly and continue having it serviced.
It has been maintained by Gulf Performance in Pompano, FL. Records are available. Timing belt and clutch have been replaced on schedule.
Non-stock parts are limited to strut brace, Speed Force Racing stainless headers, pipe, and muffler, a rebuilt computer control, and euro-spec driving / city lights.
Paint and leather seating surfaces need some restoration, as you can see by the pictures, I haven't had the seats re-done, and the previous owner had the driver's side resprayed, but it needs a fresh coat.
The car is in the Charlotte, NC area, please contact me for more information or a showing.
Thanks for looking,
Eric

Your car might be priced a little high. There is a Turbo S in great shape with half the miles selling for 8300$. Knowing that you need a 5000$ paint job and 2000$ of repairs to the interior, I would price your car at between 3000$ and 4500$ retail. 2000$ wholesale.
Have you looked at the price of similar cars? Cars with the same condition as yours but with 90000 miles took half a year to sell a dealer and they were priced at 3999$... I don't want to rain on your parade and I am not dissing you, I'm just telling you as I see it.

Ryan, thanks for your comments. I have an estimate of $3000 from a quality paint shop and redoing the seat squabs shouldn't be that pricey.
Yes, I've kept up with the mechanicals, which have always been well-maintained, but the car will need some cosmetic work to be perfect. I could never decide whether to change the paint color and whether to swap in race-type seats.
I know from looking around for possible replacements that there are not many cars with the qualities of the 951 for less than $10K, so I hope I can get something near $8K, but of course I am flexible on the price.

Is it a Turbo S cause that will increase the value. The real problem is the miles that will scare people off.
This might sound crazy but I developped a spreadsheet that will give me an idea of the sale price the car will mostly likely sell. I used over 100 sales from EBAY, Autotrader and on this site (some I estimated though) to come up with my formula. You just type in the year, mileage, price, colour and condition and it will give you a probability score ranging from 99% chance of selling to 1%. Not that you won't sell a car with a 1% rating but the odds are against you.
Of course some things play in your favor. The paint looks like it went through hell but there doesn't seem to be any rust and the seats and dash can easily be redone for about 1500$ in all new leather.

I hope this listing is still searchable.
The car is still available in the DC area for $5900 or reasonable offer. Let me know if anyone would like to come see it.
Thanks,
Eric
