It's in the no-run pile, and not on the schedule yet. Plus, it's in Philadelphia, so...
I've actually bought a couple cars from these folks in DC, and went to Philly a couple of times for the entertainment value.

Not to mention it's misidentified in the listing

It looks like previous owner(s) did a poor job of maintenance. My income is only $9400/yr and I still take good care of my 960. If you are down for the restoration challenge, I strongly encourage you to get it if the non-running obstacles aren't too much for you. Only 133K on the clock (if the gears still tick), top end luxury, and these 960 are the last RWD made. Get Obenaufs leather oil for the seats, new vac/hose lines, coolant bottle, tune up. Have you been able to get info about the issues it has? Is it a locked up engine, misfire, bad trans?

Basically you can count about$500 in fees at these auctions, so,dreams of getting a $100 car at these events are forlorn
