Someone help talk me into or out of this, GT4 Options

[Quidam]

Check this GT4 out

I'm agonisng over whether to go for it or not. I've just finished paying off my mortgage but still have a couple of smaller debts I was intending to clean up before buying a new toy (I was actually thinking of going for a older model 911 964 in 6 months to a years time). Then I saw this and kind of wished I hadn't because I doubt a better one will come along again any time soon.

If I did decide to get it, I'd probably keep my current GT4 as a work-horse (will have to live outside)

Thoughts?

ps. can't view the car because it's out of town, but looks like a pretty accurate representation of what it is.

I think its a pretty good deal $10,000 worth of parts and a GT4 for $15,000. Did he tell you if there was anything else that weren't on his list

did you get a check over of it? ie AA check, just to make sure no mishaps etc


yeah the other one is a 94, from the info you found, plus prefacelift rear lights and spoiler

Hi Rusty,

Well I ended up having to fight a bit harder for this car. He was offered 3K for the turbo and 800 for the projectors, which meant he changed his mind on accepting 15K. So the choice was I pull out of the deal (at 15K) or I step up to 16K (which I decided to do) at which point he said he would also throw in an (indoor) car-cover. I could tell he felt pretty guilty about changing his mind, but then again it was nice dealing with someone who actually has a conscience, unlike nearly every car dealer I've ever had the misfortune to purchase a car off. Perhaps oddly, I've decided not to do an AA check -he did have a MTA check done on it before he bought it and the only negative was the fact that it did not have the original toolkit.

I also discussed with him whether I should keep or onsell the parts, and frankly, I think it would be short-sighted of me to sell them, as far as I'm concerned, they belong with the car and if for whatever reason I end up selling, I will also offer them as part of the deal (those parts I have not used -ie those projectors are going on as I think they add so much to the look of the car)

One thing I'm not sure about is the spoiler -keep as is or go WRC with riser-blocks?!?
