Vehicle Detail
I am a Florida car dealer who is selling this 911 for an old eccentric friend who lives in Colorado. I’ve known the seller for 28 years ~ he is a self-made older gentleman who lives in the Aspen valley. He asked me to sell the car for him because of my knowledge of these cars and the ‘inability’ to do it himself. Yesterday, after spending a few days with my friend (seller) I drove the car down from Aspen to Denver where it is stored in a garage ready to ship. I returned to Florida today. Anyone needing to have the car inspected is welcome to do so, but the car will need to be flat-bedded to wherever the inspection occurs ~ unfortunately, no one is there to drive the car to an inspection...only a person to open the storage facility’s doors. Leaving the car in Aspen would not give a buyer the vast selection of inspection and shipping opportunities as there are in Denver. The seller used the car in the summer for frequently driving down to Denver to visit friends and business partners ~ about 400-miles round trip, hence the miles put on the car. He tells me that the car was never valet parked and that no one else ever drove the car (except me to take it to where it’s currently stored). He has obviously taken care of the car. I have driven many air-cooled 911’s from almost every production year. I can tell you with all certainty that this car is tight as a 25,000-mile C4 would feel. I’m serious. It shifts so smooth and tight ~ I was very impressed because every 911 with around 95,000 miles that I’ve driven has a little play in the tranny/shifter. The suspension is tight with no shakes or rattles going over a bumpy section of a road. The steering wheel is dead on center when the car is going dead straight. There’s nothing worse than a 911 who’s steering wheel is even a snidge turned when the car is going dead straight. New tires were put on the car last September just before the car was stored for the winter in the Aspen area. They are virtually new. Last summer the car had a new clutch installed ~ exactly what is expected at around 95,000 miles. You’ll see by the pictures that the car has absolutely no aftermarket anything on it ~ the wheels are factory original, no goofy aftermarket whale tail, no speakers cut into the doors or rear deck, no hands-free phone system, no built-in radar detector, and heaven forbid no aftermarket white gauges. Only the original Blaupunkt stereo was swaped out because it was not capable of getting a strong stereo signal in the mountains. Everything works as it should ~ air conditioning, strong window regulators, strong sunroof motor, excellent brakes that do not pull to one side when applied heavily, perfect central lock, and perfect power tail. No shimmy at any speed up to the 90mph I experienced down the freeway. I ran a Carfax on this 911 and it came up as an accident-free car. If you do not have access to Carfax I can email you a copy of the report. Here are the factory options the car was built with: Code Option Description 139 Seat Heating - Left 158 Radio "Monterey" - 86 "Reno" – 87 340 Seat heating – Right 454 Automatic speed control 494 2 speakers on back shelf 945 Amplifier System C02 Equipped with catalytic converter The seller is letting it go for less than I would if it were mine…but it’s his car. It’s not at all a case where he is financially strapped, he simply is unable to enjoy the car any longer and wants the buyer to get a good deal. Bless his heart. Therefore, the reserve is set low. Please don’t hesitate to email me your questions. In my experience with selling cars on eBay it’s imperative that the inspection is done prior to the end of the auction. Here’s why; there are people out there that use an inspection as a re-negotiating tool after all the other buyers are gone…not cool. Please inspect the car prior to bidding, or buy it sight unseen based on what you are willing to pay for taking the risk. Bid to buy and be willing to pay what you bid. Please don’t bid on the car if you are uncomfortable. Many thanks in advance. Tom
