This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion

I think it was an '02 even though the guy said it might be an '04 or an '05 (I saw 10/02 on the doorjamb). $32k w/ 66k miles in I would say fair condition. The front bumper has a circular plate about 1.5-2" missing. Is that a tow point? How easy is it to order those and put it back on?
yup - tow hook cap
check with Eric over at bumperplugs.com and see if he has them pre-painted ready to ship - Many of us have bought stuff from him and are happy with the service and quality. - I picked up a key hole plug and license plate "bumperplugs" from him...
that er stick a cigar in the hole and light er up
Fair condition? Anyone who wouldn't even replace a $4.25 cap before putting the car on the market--you have to wonder what else they neglected. New PS2s cost $1300 for these cars. Brakes? How about the clutch? RMS?
With 66k miles in really great condition it's a low $30s car. With "driver" Porsches (more than 5k miles per year), condition and maintenance is EVERYTHING. If it needs the usual stuff from being neglected, it could be worth as low as mid-$20s.
Yeah, apparently it is the owner's car and it's not even listed yet but I happen to be driving by and saw it so checked it out but didn't drive it. Definitely asking too much for it but because the supply around here is lower the cars are usually overpriced. Who knows what else would turn up after an inspection.
