Maybe a good deal

Tires...depending on size can run from $600-1200.

Top can run from $300 DIY to maybe $1200.

So take the top of each of those costs...$2400 and add to the $12k...you come out on the OK side.

The temperatures are below freezing. The seller has to be motivated. So insist on a Pre-Purchase-Inspection by a Porsche mechanic. Invest maybe $250 to take much of the uncertainty and risk out of buying a car that old and in that cosmetic condition. Better to know what else the car will cost to get in good maintainable condition up front as only then would you know if the deal was really good. What if, after you bought, you discovered $1500 in repairs it needed...that would set the deal into the bad deal column.

PS...I'd rather have this car from your neck of the woods too.
