'930 slant nose for that Miami Vice feel.

No interest what so ever in a non factory slant cab.

A 993 with average mileage and hokey aftermarket body panels/tail, turbo script on a non turbo car says run like the wind...

the red 993 is listed as fwd? What other surprises lurk there in?

Both SCM and Excellence value the 1985 at ~$25K (+10 to 15% for low mileage). So, $27,500 - $28,750 would seem reasonable. The car truely is near mint.

Having said all that, I would probably offer up to $26,000 max.

What would you offer for this car, assuming no skeletons and a passing PPI? Thius car has averaged barely 1,000 miles a year!
