New here...looking at car on eBay

[rick3000]

I personally would not buy a car, especially a Porsche on eBay. That one in particular is overpriced. You can get a good condition, clean title running 2.5L for under $10k these days.

What are your goals for the car? If you want a restoration project, Porsche parts are very, very expensive, so it probably is no the best way to go. You could spend the purchase price of the car on just the water seals.

If you want a Spec racer, then I would look for a 2.5L that runs well, since you will tear everything out anyway.

Best!

Its what we refer to as a roller. Body and wheels, nothing more, suitable for building a racer.

If its more than $4k then its overpriced. ...Pass if you dont want to spend 10k more to get a working car worth under $12K.

There are 5K rollers around (not stripped) and 10K working Porsches.

If your making it a track car anyways (at a diffrent time of year) you can get a decent mileage 2.5 for littlery the same price... Do an engine swap for the money it would take for you to just get that one from eBay decent outside of the engine and such

Its a a classic example that you better know what you are buying if you are on eBay. Perhaps the worst deal I've seen. I bought a 2003 roller for $3800 that was complete and just needed an engine rebuild. There is no value in the car you are looking at.

Here is possibly a better deal if you are looking for a roller. I know nothing about this listing. Just saw it out there.
