time for my bi-annual mini R56 post https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/...476552992.html
R56 for 6k (it was 6500 the other day).
still the most fun car I've ever owned. right of the box, these things are a blast.
first year R56 = problems but.... it's done 156k. Timing tensioner would have presented itself. New clutc and brakes and laser blue = best colour.

pricing seems crackpipe to me. It’s cool in many ways though. Been for sale at least since the summer.

Call in beforehand if you are interested to find out if it's sold or not.

Unfortunately from a resale perspective, it is to his taste profile Most Porsche guys looking at older 911s want it stock or very close to stock. I personally like the car, but would be scared off because of potential resale. For most guys who like this kind of modded porsche, you are better off getting a built 997 or heck even a 991.

Especially thse hard to find factory parts that weren't readily available. The factory widebody and spoiler on this Porsche are pretty unique. What would worry me is the lack of engine pics. I wonder what it looks like under the hood?

That 911 is crackpipe.
SCs never came with 'factory widebody' unless the guy used OEM fenders and quarters from a 930 and grafted them on which could be the case. More likely they're aftermarket fiberglass jobbers. The insinuation that this is a factory ordered widebody is BS. Didn't exist then.
No one forward dates their 911 either, at least not from a value or desirability perspective.
Interior is just straight rice.
No mention nor work done on the two most expensive items on a 911 when modifying - engine and suspension. "PO did it" doesn't count - bet you the guy has zero receipts to prove it.
At half his ask that car is still overpriced.

Huge difference between the two and for two completely different groups of potential owners, modified or not.

What's it worth? For curiosity sake. Obviously give or a take a little since we're going off of pictures.

This is of course IMO but the fact it's been for sale for months likely means I echo the sentiments of the marketplace  | |

Those "blob" shaped elements in GM cars were created intentionally to hide poor panel fitment.
According to Bob Lutz's book, the big increase in interior quality in GM cars happened roughly in 2 stages.
First stage was setting the cost targets to the equivalent Japanese car instead of some arbitrary and kinda ridiculous GM standard. Design term team was then also given a lot more control over the vehicle

How about a reasonably priced Mazdaspeed Miata with hardtop? Some nice FM mods on it, throw on a set of 15x8 6UL’’s or RPF1’s and that would be a pretty well sorted ride. https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/rds/...479096010.html
WTS/WTT 2004 Mazdaspeed miata w/ hardtop - $9500 (Surrey) 
2004 mazdaspeed miata

Recent maintenance are: Oil change(5w-30 Synthetic), diff flush(75w-90 syn gear oil) and trnny fluid still fairly new, brakes still got lots of life left, timing belt and water pump was done around 170km according to the last owner also the clutch was done at some point when p.o owned it, tires are 2 years old with lots of life left(all season), soft top w/ glass and defrost in good shape no leaks, comes with a red hard top(not color matched but close) . no problem with the car i daily it to work so the kms will go up. reason for selling is i need a sedan/ 4 seater for work and life. Willing to trade for a 4seater such as is300, e30, etc (has to be manual)
Current mods to the car is:
-Flying miata intake kit ( https://www.flyinmiata.com/fm-msm-co...ntake-kit.html)

-Shifter rebuild kit(OEM)
-brakes at 80%

the car is set at 9psi with the manual boost controller. it makes around 200whp according to flying miata (with the mods) ( https://www.flyinmiata.com/miata-per...-packages.html)

300ZX looks decent but i wonder even if you babied it and maintenance it every 10k it would still turn into a Money Pit with repairs.

I had a 90 300ZX NA and it had a full motor rebuild about 180kms. Cost the previous owner around $5500 with a new clutch. They are complicated cars but that 300ZX would go for a lot more on BAT.
