What about this one?...

Seems very cheap... although without the docs perhaps a bit risky. Is it possible to chase down a cars service history and use a replacement book? or will this car always be a little "grey"?

Cars like this really do need history, unless you can get an expert to go over it with a fine toothcombe and be happy its sound I'd look elsewhere.

I could live without the supporting documents as long as the service book was with the car and showed it had been serviced regularly by an OPC (or latterly by a recognised independent.)

I did buy my own 993 despite it not having a lot in the way of invoices etc. It did have all its old MOTs and stamps in the service book though, and it sailed through a PPI without problems, so it didn't bother me overly.

Surely no one clocks a car to 96k miles so it probably has genuine mileage. At that mileage it could need expensive work. Without s/history the value's always going to be lower though. One sold through PH a few months ago at around this figure with full history too. The car would be good value at £25k, but not at £29,995. Just IMHO of course

Could be a finance repo where they repsossed the car but the 'owner' still had the documents.

He's a bit light on details about this and the "supersport" he's also selling...

Buy on condition? Looks like a bargain.
