    13.5k what?

    In US Dollars, A real 959 Komfort in good condition should set you back twenty times that...

    Even in euros, that's way too good to be true.

    More info/pics?

    Last I saw 959's were about 12,000,000 rubles. That must be a 911 with a body kit for that cheap.

    Ah. Then it will most certainly take you well down the road... to fiscal self-immolation.

    Unless you have LOTS more money to burn (and I mean LOTS), and a mechanic truly capable of putting it right, I vote 'Nyet'.

    Still seems a very low number, unless it's been rolled, burned, or stolen. Twice.

    Great car, but my inner accountant tells me 'Beware of Enzos on eBay, Gullwings in Indonesia and 959s in Mockba.'

    If its real then why don't you buy them and sell them, make yourself a nice profit.
    A real 959 must be worth 250-300,000 euros and LM about 65-80,000euros.

    Sounds like a scam to me. Or just plain old BS

    I am feeling that you are going to be in up to your shoulders if you can buy a Porsche 959 for 13.5K. That number would be less than the sales tax that you would pay on a 959. Car should be going in the $300k - $350K usd range. But for 13 grand what the hell, how much could you loose, it's gotta be worth something if you get it and its a piece of junk, sell it off...no matter the condition it's gotta be worth 13 grand in parts.

    BTW: Tell this guy that is selling that should he move to the US with a Rosso Scuderia F430 Spyder that he should give me a ring before selling. :)

    hmm.
    I am not surprised such by price - he rich enough since Soviet times (1970 -1980th) (about 300-350mln $ official , non official - more) - at us often cars simply give whom or crash. Russians money do not like to consider - advantage above it. We saying " more spend = more the profit " .Therefore everyone tries to throw out as much as possible money. For us money mean nothing.

    Obviously there is NO 959 for sale for that money. And, because someone is supposedly rich is no reason they'd sell it cheap (even at 250k). They got rich by making the right decisions and not throwing money away. Please don't waste our time with this total B.S. If you want to show us the pictures of 959's that's great, we'd like to see them. So either you're B.S.'ing us which (hopefully) nobody here would buy, or you are the most naive person I've heard of.

    hahahaha, i was thinking the same thing.

    Every time someone tries to tell her that it is a scam, she just goes on about how she knows it's a legit deal. If it's the real deal, why is she still asking for our opinion? Any moron can Google "Porsche 959" and see that they are worth upwards of $1,000,000 when in good condition.

    And to this comment...
    If the thought of selling it even crossed his mind, I'm sure there would be so many collectors fighting over it that he wouldn't be able to sell it for anything less than the original 230k msrp, even if restoration is needed...unless it's 1/5 scale.

    I don't speak English as a main language and only through the internet and college but your English makes my head hurt.

    A rich guy, which is a friend of yours, has a 959 - which he wants to sell to you for 13.500 United States dollars - the only condition being that you drive the car yourself and not selling it? Am I correct?


    I don't believe this at all, actually. If you want any credit from us you have to prove this deal. You could buy it for 13.500 USD now and even if lousy shape it's probably worth 10 times more in 10 years from now. It is a collectors car and extremely rare machine.
