Hi all
This is my first post!

I am researching a silver 993 Registration number M169 MYV which I am thinking of purchasing. The car suffered accident damage to the front in 2016. I have some pics but havent worked out how to load them yet...

The car was repaired and is classified as a cat D. Unfortunately the history was "lost" so I cannot research service info or any repair bills. Also, the repairs were done really badly and panel/bumper/bonnet fit is appallingly out of line. The car drives fine with no pulling or wobbles but has clearly suffered a serious bump.....

Does anyone on this forum recognize the registration number and if so do you have any information about this car, as i am looking to purchase it.

1994 Porsche 993 3.6 Carrera S Tiptronic with sunroof.
Silver with grey leather
Cat. D - front end crash damage in 2016 and repaired very badly

Any info would be hugely appreciated. [/b]
 
Don't know the car but it needs to be less than 20 bags in folding to make it viable :thumb:
 
Thanks for the advice - he is looking for close to double that which is bonkers!
 
Seems optimistic for a cat D tip with no history which will need expensive work to sort properly. I presume its a narrowbody as opposed to an S, on an M reg?
 
Hi Robert

Yes i think you are right - he says it is an S but it looks pretty standard.....
 
The 'S' will relate to the gearbox as the 'S' gives gear change buttons on the steering wheel.

Near £40k for it :eek: Tell him to take Jonttt's rose tinted valuation glasses off :hand:
 
:nooo:

He's having a larrrrrrfffffffff

You can get a nice striaght one with no 'history" for that.

Its a £25k car at most maybe less with no paperwork either :nooo:

Firstly:
:welcome:

Secondly: that has to be understatement of the week - it looks properly shonky, doesn't it?

- The front bumper can be a bit a sod to get sat just right, but that's just all over the place - and it's a different colour to the wings. Also missing the number plate plinth.

- There's also something not quite right where the front wings join the sills - on both sides.

- Looks like a dent in the OSR wing, halfway between the wheelarch and the door - possibly someone being over-enthusiastic changing the oil filter?

- Exhausts tips are seriously wonky - again, they're awkward to get just right - but the NS one is practically tucked up inside the bumper.

- Interior looks tired, especially the seat bolsters - and a super-shiny steering wheel.

It's been crashed, repaired badly on the cheap, and has no history. Leaving aside the personal choice of Tiptronic and interior colours, I wouldn't even pay 20k for that.

Better examples are available, probably for less money...

This ^^^^^. But I'd run for the hills let alone offer even £15K for it.

The seller sounds a right chancer. Avoid imo

Adding to this there is something not quite right about how the NSF Wheel sits in the arch. A tad too far forward to my eyes.
How they can ask £38,990 for that car is a joke considering the two tone paint job and state of past repairs!

Front Bumper inner mesh missing too.
