Price and car looks good value even if a few things wrong, cars are very reliable unless totally abused, personally I had never heard of RSJ until the Blue car was put about. I would read the old posting and ask about it, if they are not honest about it, you wont be able to trust there inspection.
I've used Northways near Reading for over 10 years they know 993 Turbos inside out and Mr Northway had one as his last personal car of choice until an 86 year old OAP wrote it off by driving in to it!
The following are fairly std and need checking, as to what state they are in, you should also expect to find in the FSH
- at least one Clutch replacement, two would be around normal.- c£1k
- 2 sets of brakes and discs - c£1k
- leaky cam covers£300
- Most people would have refurbished the turbo's by now c£1k
- First gear linkage if it 'bangs a bit' when takes off it has done many a fast start, not life threatening and can be lived with
- Door stays c£800
- Interior should show wear but not worn ouot.
- replaced boost pipes c£400
- check for rust around windscreen, lift rubbers, I would expect a respray in 50%+ of cars in this area
- I would have expected the front PU and bonnet to have been resprayed at least once.
- Also do a leakdown tests.
When you put ypour foot down in the car there should be no tyre slippage in dry and the car should just fly with no hesitation/hiccups and c30mph/gear.
