This 930 carries a numbers matching European market 3.3 L turbocharged flat-six engine which sends a factory claimed 300 HP to the rear wheels by way of a number’s matching 4-speed manual transmission.

@efexforever We haven't had the car listed on our site for a while and it was listed at $84,999 and then $79,999. As for worth it? I most definitely think it is. I have driven this car various times and have sold a lot of other 930s, so I have a good understanding of the the value. I think you would be hard pressed to find one that drivers and performs this well for under $80k. Just my opinion.
@efexforever We are down to the last few hours. Feel free to ask any questions. This is a great opportunity to own a very well sorted 930 with tons of performance upgrades. A perfect 930 driver! As always, we are willing to work with the buyer on any parts or service they would like to have done prior to shipping out. Thanks and good luck!
