I know it's a cat d but looks good for the money?
It has been for sale for a couple of weeks now so could possibly get it for less:

I think it looks and sounds a nice example.
Cheers

I'd want to know more about what's throwing the warning light on. I once bought a 993 (a polar silver tip coupe as it happens) where the warning light did not illuminate at all - upon checking I noticed the ABS light didn't light up either. Sure enough, with bulbs in there was an ABS fault present - cured with a new sensor, once the old one had been drilled out and the hole re-threaded etc. It wasn't the end of the world but clearly the owner had avoided it, so makes you wonder what else they avoided, especially as it was a safety item.
Ive had a cat d 944 once as it was a tempting bargin but had to give it away as took 6 months to sell just couldnt get rid of it, spend another couple of grand and you could have a straight one with no hassle when you want to move it on, unless its a keeper and you dont intend to sell it on as long as it stops in a straight line what the hell go for it. but well worth getting it fully checked over. good luck you may need it,,,,
A 'cheap selling price' does not necessarily mean a 'cheap car'.
It looks clean enough in the photos, but you need to get it inspected and price up those faults mentioned along with any of the other common maintenance issues.
This can all add up into the thousands very quickly, so go in with your eyes open!

2nd that I bought one for 12500 then spent the best part of 5k getting up to scratch should have just bought one for 18k and not had the hassle,

If you are going to keep it long term, I'm not so sure that always rings true. In some respects if I had an 18K budget and found a reasonable car for 13K, at least I knew that with the 5k left, most things important could be replaced and was as good as new.mollytherocker said:

After all, you could blow the 18K and then find out it still needs a tidy sum to make it A1.

There is no right or wrong or general rule to follow in my view. The point is, you must appraise each car on its own merits and condition etc and decide on its value from there.After all, you could blow the 18K and then find out it still needs a tidy sum to make it A1.
You can spend over £20k and still have a shed. Spending more does not guarantee anything! Sellers dont always know what they have got. Its shiny so it must be mint.....right?
I know its been discussed many times on here, but trying to buy a 'cheap 911' can end in tears VERY easily.
