Tempting Porsches #25

Tempting Porsche #1

porsche-911-sc-1983-red

The first Tempting Porsche for today is a 1983 911 SC. It’s got a tea tray spoiler and is a classic red with black interior. Just under 80k miles on it. Here’s some info from the Craigslist ad:

Air conditioning; AM/FM stereo; Single CD player; Power windows; Power door locks; Power seats; Leather seats; Tinted windows; Moon roof; Driving/fog lights; Alloy wheels; Rear spoiler

Asking Price: $12,990

I have to say, this car was love at first sight for me the moment I saw the ad on Craigslist. I absolutely loved everything about this car, even the 80′s mesh alloy wheels. It’s the epitomy of the Porsches I grew up loving and dreaming about. I haven’t been out to look at this car, and probably won’t, because I’m afraid I’ll end up buying it. I don’t have space for it at the moment, otherwise I would have been first in line to drive this thing and seriously consider buying it.

It’s been up on Craigslist for a few weeks, and I’m guessing you could pick it up for around $11,500, maybe even a little less. Be a great buy if it checked out and a heck of a lot of fun to drive.

Tempting Porsche #2

porsche-911-1999-black

The second Tempting Porsche for today is a black on black 1999 911 Carrera Coupe. It’s a little higher on the mileage scale with just over 106k miles. Here are some of the options listed in the ad:

Local Car traded in on 911 Convertible, Black with Black leather. Runs and drives outstanding.

- ABS (4-Wheel)
- Air Conditioning
- Alloy Wheels
- AM/FM Stereo
- Cassette
- Cruise Control
- Dual Front Air Bags
- Dual Power Seats
- Leather
- Power Door Locks
- Power Steering
- Power Sun Roof
- Power Windows
- Premium Sound

Asking Price: $15,995

This Tempting Porsche is a “Sid” Porsche, so it would need to be checked out first, but could prove to be an excellent deal. At under $16k, even with the mileage, if nothing major turned up in the Pre Purchase Inspection, you’d have a great ride at a very very reasonable price. Makes me want to buy it and fire up another Porsche Giveaway on the blog!

    • Ryan says:

      @James – I don’t know how many times I’ve looked at those pictures and the Craigslist ad. There’s just something about that car.

  2. Lyndon says:

    I just love the first car, it’s so clean for a car that has that amount of miles on it.

  3. Jeff W says:

    I love the Red one also. Those are just beautiful cars.

  4. Joe says:

    Red 911. Goes together like bacon and peanut butter. (It’s good – trust me)

  5. James O says:

    Bacon and peanut butter, sounds good. Ryan I think in honor of the 500 mark plus a little Christmas spirit you need to, besides what could possibly be more important that is taking up garage space?

    • Ryan says:

      I can’t say that bacon and peanut butter sounds good. Are you talking about a PB&B sandwich??? Well, I have 3 cars in my garage already.

  6. Brad says:

    If any of the three cars in your garage are not a Porsche, You have run out of excuses Ryan, wimp….BUY IT !! lol

  7. Joe says:

    Ryan, just straight up peanut butter on some bacon. Don’t knock it till you try it! It fits right into my beer and ice cream diet.

  8. James O says:

    Ryan, I was thinking it would be cool if you filmed yourself road testing and reviewing these cars for sale and posted the video.

  9. love the SC – that and the Targa, and the 912′s are perfect cars to customize and update – this looks like it was nicely done
