This car is in immaculate condition, and I\u2019m thrilled to share it with you. Below, I\u2019ve addressed some of the questions and comments that have come up so far:\r\n\r\n@JerVegas: ABS was introduced in 1987, and Porsche switched to the late offset design that year to make room for the ABS sensors. \r\n\r\n@Jamespw1: The car is fitted with Design 90 wheels installed by the previous owner. Since this is an early offset car, spacers are required and are included with the vehicle. Regarding the branded title: the car has never been in an accident. The branding is due to an odometer discrepancy, which is a common issue with these models. The trip odometer reset button, located near the air vents, can break the plastic gear that drives the odometer when pressed, leading to discrepancies like this one.\r\n\r\n@SewaneeAbides: Both the air conditioning and cruise control are fully functional, and the AC blows cold. As for the stereo, the head unit was removed and replaced with a sleek black storage unit. However, the original door speakers are still in place if you\u2019d like to reinstall a stereo.\r\n\r\nHappy Bidding!", "likes": 3, "timestamp": 1736113368, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 16518041, "authorName": "TommyC", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/tommyc/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "After not having owned one for over twenty years I got the urge again and recently bought one on BaT.

He had shown me some photos to help me feel confident in the purchase. In hindsight, if I had known I\u2019d be selling the car, those pictures would\u2019ve been great to have! That said, I did inspect the timing belt tension when I got the car, and everything seemed fresh with proper tension.\r\n\r\nPlease feel free to reach out if you have any other questions, and I\u2019ll do my best to get you any additional info or photos as soon as I can!", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1736152852, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 16521170, "authorName": "Longforlineup", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/longforlineup/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "With no way to know miles since timing belt/water pump replacement and no receipt for timing belt/water pump it\u2019s tough to give value to those services unfortunately.", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1736186925, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 16522392, "authorName": "fasterthanschnell (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/fasterthanschnell/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@Longforlineup I 100% agree with you.
