911 - I know I should not like this but I do

porsche 911 - $25000 (ohio)

I like.

I like it and don't know why you "shouldn't" (other than price).

Wait... why shouldn't you like it? The PMY paintjob? The "why yes I do sell coke" slant-nosedness? The late-model motor swap?

In my book those are all bonus

Wait...it's the wing, right? You shouldn't like it because of the big wing?

I like it. I feel the need to wear sunglasses looking at it, but I like it.

The rear looks wrong for the slantnose.... Anyone else getting this?

Needs better wheels...like these

that is awesomeness!

The only issue I'd have is with the wheels. And that could be fixed.

Nice, but I'll take this one, and keep the 10k change. ;)

As long as we're giving away free internet Porches, I'll take one of those as well.

It is the color and the wheels but it is still cool.

Yeah...I like it, but I don't 25 grand like it.

Ah hah i was right! The back end isn't right on the first car! The one Evan posted is right.

And here I was expecting a 911 prank call.

That's a pretty safe buy at 15 grand..

I am not sure how I missed the slant nose since it is listed on my hometown CL list. Spring must be springing because today this showed up on the otherwise quiet local CL list.

Owned by local hotel chain owner. I have seen it on the road locally (rarely)

Slant nose is my favorite of the older 911s. Those wheels are too large/shiny.

I didn't read it all that carefully, but it sounds like the guy will sell you the nice looking car or a much E36 M3tier one for $15K either way.

Dude sounds like a complete liar - claims the black car has cold a/c and the other car has a 915 that shifts great.

The slantnose looks killer with the Roofie wheels. Not so much with the polished wheels, but still nice.

Odd to see a TR on CL, though. I'd think seller would have to reach out to a more national audience (maybe he did). I wonder how much that fender will cost to respray to Ferrari standards.

Wow. $41.5k for that car?? We need to let wearymicrobe know about that one.

Testarossas have not held their value very well relative to other Ferraris.

And didn't somebody (forza?) post that these are brutal maintenence-wise compared to some of the other "affordable" Ferraris?

When I was young, I really liked the slant-nose 911 (935 wannabe). Now... not so much... I think I'd rather have a more standard version.

VERY easy to put $18-20k of maintenance into a Testarossa.

Testarossa's look much worse in my mind than they do in real life and pictures. I always think of them and they remind me of 80s terribleness, of kirk cameron and whale tail porsches and such. And then I see them and go ahhhhhhhhh.
