Friend needs help when buying a 964 Cabrio

[NicD]

A good friend of Ali's is looking at buying this car off his friend, wants some opinion on whether price is reasonable, and what the repairs, particularly a replacement hood will cost.
1991 964 Cabrio, black, 2 owners, 72,000 miles
Full service history latterly through Autostrasse in Essex, last service was only minor
The front bumper needs to be resprayed as scraped and the rear boot lid has a small rust patch
The main cost would be hood as frayed and the rear window is starting to crack

Finally, can anyone recommend someone to inspect the car - based in Essex/East London area

Thtis chap will be most greatful and a new Club member if he purchases []

and the price asked is £15,000

Replacement cost for my 993 hood is £1200 fitted at Southbound Trimmers

The 964 hood may be cheaper as it is in two parts? I had just the rear window part of my 3.2 Cab hood replaced for approx £400

A 944 hood is about £1k, so I'd have thought the £1k to £1,200 range is about right.

Dunno on value as I wasn't looking for a cab, but they didn't seem to command any more than coupes a month or so ago from the ones I happened to see. That being the case the price sounds about right assuming RHD, nice leather and no nasties anywhere.

Thanks guys, very useful, will pass it on, sounds like a nice car

Nic, whereabouts is the car? If close there maybe one or two of us who could give our opinions.....strictly as a addition to the usual PPI of course.

Nic would be a little more concerned with any oil leaks as a 91 Car.

Nic I would suggest the price of the car your looking at is a fair bit overpriced. As the guy above proves. Sounds like the car needs maybe 2-3k's worth of work doing. I would offer accordingly.
