Saw this add a couple of weeks ago http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/p...
I was driving past Hendon way the other day and it was still there, so popped in there to check the car out (I've been looking around for a clean one for a couple of months now but I'm in no hurry to buy).

I spoke to a chap who didn't have a clue of what was going on. I asked for the price of the car (as there is no price on the add ......... no surprises there LOL) and it had a price tag of £85K. Isn't that a bit tooooo much ?? and how are they to deal with in general ??

£85k for a 993turboS does seem on the cheap side. Before plunging on that...do make sure you do a very serious check on that car! Could be an expensive mistake.

If mint its worth £85k day night long. The car is not mint and has definitely has a story to tell. I'd buy it for £60k as a not straight example. at anything above this I would wamt a car that hasn't had what looks like a large impact. Just my opinion on he impact as it has a lot of paint on it including the inner frame where the door sits on drivers side. Paint on roof is woeful too. and paint n rear bumper doesn't quite match rest of the car. I'd still buy it at right money though - its very pretty

Yeah - linked above.

Is it true as the ad says - only 23 produced for UK market?

I was thinking about £60k too.....I haven't actually checked the car out, might have to go back with my mate Matt from Fearnsport to check the car out !!

Do seem to remember hearing that price last time it was mentioned on here actually.
