I wouldn't touch this car, let alone pay what you could buy a nice 987 for.
Agreed. With you and GTA. That's why I called it a shame, and knew GTA was being sarcastic when he called it a 'steal.'

I wouldn't touch it either.

Looks like an excellent example of an early 986. Silver is such a blegh color to me. Who in their right mind would order a 2-seat convertible Porsche sports car in SILVER. My grandma might like it though! I'm sure this will offend someone around here... :dance:

Says the person who owns the little "I'm gay" Yellow car!

Really? Tell me, what's it like to still be living in the '50s?

Dude, lighten up man. I was joking. I guess I didn't use enough emojis.

It's nice if you want a '97. For only a few thousand more you can get a nice '03/'04 S.

Shelton is pretty local to me. If anyone needs eyes on the car, I can probably find some time to go look for you.

$10k for a base 1997 ?
You can get an S for not much more.
Seems like a terrible value
