For a car with 155K miles on the clock and no obvious engine work I wish him well in getting that sort of price.

I'll bet the wheels get sold separately before the car []

I was really surprised at the tyre choice too. a 205/40 tyre on an 8.5J wheel has got to be (literally) stretching it, as is a 245/35 on a 10J wheel. Apart from being non-N rated, I would think those tyres are a bit risky in terms of coming away from the wheel in any serious cornering. Those wheels should have 225/40 and 265/35 respectively as a minimum. My rears, admittedly on a wide body (conversion), are running 285/30 on the same wheels.
I get the impression from the ad that this car is much more about appearance than function. Given the state of the market the price might be achievable if it were a LHD car and exported to mainland Europe but I doubt any Porsche connoisseur would splash out that kind of money with the knowledge that a £5K-£7K rebuilt was on the cards a few months down the line.
As Nick says, we can live in hopes - maybe we're all sitting on a future gold mine!!!

The stretched rubber is probably for looks or the offsets on the wheels have forced him to stretch to clear the arches. I agree with most on here - a lot of effort and money has gone into it and it looks stunning. The mileage/price combination is the sticking point - at that mileage it needs to be cheaper or at that price the mileage needs to be lower. That being said, I sincerely hope he gets what he's asking for[

hehehe Steve, as Greg says (a personal friend of mine) no offers to sell the wheels separate.
Greg, has spent more than 100 hours of his own time freshening this car, and im sure when you see it you will understand, stunning.
The car has the odd subtle mods like the US spec rear numberplate recess, no indicators on the wing, no washer jets on the front bumper, etc.
I can assure you this is like new, show example car with a big price tag. Worth it if you have the money!

I must admit the tire size is a little too stretch for my liking, but this is more of appearance than function. Most of these young Europeans like to stretch their tires and lower the car more, giving more clearance for wider track offsets.
As for the prices of these 964s, there going up alright going by the LHD cars!

yeah ur maybe right.....but not what is the bodywork like close up, pictures are very desceiving!
I find it strange that he says 'I've just been looking through the service history'! So he didn't bother with it when he brought the car?
If I was spending that much on a car, dam sure I would look at the service history and have it inspected as well. He's only had it 8 months, perhaps he brought it cheap in the slump and is now cashing in?
Looks like it might be a great car, nethertheless [8|]

I can asure you its was not a cheap car in the first place.
The amount of money he has spent, and the hours and effort to source all the parts and the spec. he has gone for all mounts up. Try calculating everything to build this car, then you will realise how much money is spent.

Hope Greg doesnt mind, but this should explain how much effort to get this car the way he wanted it, built back with most things new.
