Hey guys

Life has been crazy lately, but quite good. Unfortunately the 960 isn't worth keeping right now.. too many other cars on the go.

You've seen it before, nothing has changed with the car since I bought it. We've been driving it this year a fair amount and it's been working great. It still has the valve tick and smokes the odd time when you start it, but it's apparently a top end issue says the dealer. It should be fixed to get some efficiency from the car, but we've been rolling it to Regina and back like it isn't there.

Boguth the car with 66,000 on it, had a full safety inspection done. It only has 67,xxx on it now. Will sell with the stock wheels, the pegs rub a bit on the rear.
Just take a few days ago.. bit of mud on the front fender

Same car, stock wheels before tint

I haven't seen a more mint 960 anywhere.. If anyone on cvc wants it let me know, otherwise it's hitting kijiji

Thanks Raz.. it really is a beautiful car. Kills me to sell it, but I have to get over that. I bought this car from california, it only saw snow once.. when I drove it back from North Dakota then parked it till spring.

Factory locker in it too :D I also added a trans cooler.. since it was going to be my tow rig.

lol but that would leave me with a rwd daily driver in winter...

...which scares me. My experiences with RWD have always been the 'perfect' driving conditions...

I have a 19 and 16 YO female drivers both driving RWD and stick... don't be a wuss. Get some studded Nokians and a few sandbags in the back, done.

Edit: Do your homework, at $3000 this is priced well below KBB PP values. With all of the problems you've had with that pink POS compared to getting a wagon for your dog with only 67K (~108K km) looks mint and pretty much straight across, IT'S A NO BRAINER!! OK, I'm done, if i shine this on anymore I'm going to buy it... :shock:

Edit2: Gorgeous car, at that price someone is getting a smoking deal.

rwd is way better balanced. alot less likely to make you do an un intentional 360 when it's slippery!

yup, I hate the way WWD plows ahead in a skid, much easier/predictable to bring a RWD back in to line. oversteer FTL.

Edit: Sorry, Geoff going off topic in typical CVC fashion GL with your sale!!

hardly off topic when we're trying to sell the car for him!

i'd think about buying it myself, but I already have that car with a different motor and front end.

And rear suspension, and front suspension, and... It's hardly the same car!

And no wonder the Pegs rub on the rear... it's supposed to have FWD offset wheels on it!

Why does that bit concern me.

Guys, easy now. The fact is, this guy needs the money. And I don't have the money. I also lack time and patience to try to sell Christine. Would be unfair for me to show interest, because it's simply not going to happen.
