Vehicle Description
This is a project car that roomate trade me for back rent that he owed....I am not a Porsche expert but will try to answer any questions to the best of my knowledge.
The car ran fine and he was driving it when he moved out and signed it over to me for the rent that he owed me. Since then the car has sat in my driveway and has not been started and that has been a little over a year now. I was considering fixing it up but like I said I have no idea about Porsches and would have to have all the work done and it would just not be feasable for me.
The car has a 2L engine that he had just put into it before signing it over to me. From what I understand from others I guess that is a very desirable type of engine. It has a manual transmission. The body is straight with no damage, however the paint is faded and there may be some minor rusting. The interior would need to be completely redone in my opinion.
I have had a couple of guys who are into these type of cars locally that have looked at it and said it would be a great project car and have suggested a price which is my beginning bid on this auction.
Also included in this deal are the original 1.8L engine that was in the car before he put the 2L in it. It was also running fine when it was removed. There is also an extra transmission which he replaced. The extra transmission (the origial one) had a problem with 1st gear if I recall what he told me correctlly.
That is about the extent of my knowledge about this car and the extra engine and tranny. If anyone has questions I will do my best to answer them or find out the answer and let you know.
This a no reserve auction and the car and extra parts will sell to the highest bidder above the opening bid of $1500.00. LOCAL PICK UP ONLY/I AM NOT ABLE TO SHIP. AND IT WILL NEED TO BE HAULED BY TRAILER OR TRUCK.
If you can pick the car up within 5 days of the close of the auction I will accept cash at the time of pickup. Otherwise I will need a $500.00 down payment made via paypal and the balance at pickup.
