I definitely have a penchant for asking GRMers to talk me out of buying 944s and 951s. So far, ya'll have been successful. But every couple of months another 951 pops up close to me. So I bring you the newest temptation: The first 951 of 2013 that I need my defacto automotive support group to tell me is a bad idea.

Look where its parked on the street, its probably parked there all the time, hence the numerous fluid leak stains on the ground.
Don't buy that.
Wonder how much boost he's pushing with that awesome boost controller setup.
It's rough unless you're going to make it a track car. If you're going to make it a track car then it seems kind of expensive.
I would offer $3500 and if he does not take it move on.
The seat is ripped, how could you even think of buying it now?
There, do you feel better now?

Is that what the red/blue thing is sitting on the intake?
What group are you talking to? 
Seriously, as a previous 951 owner, run away. Lowered too much, there will be issues, non Porsche wheels generally lower value, one year over due on timing belt replacement. That is not just a suggestion either. Mine broke just over 2 years. If that is not up to spec, you can rest assured most other maintenance on the car is not either. I bought one like that once, and it took a ton of money to make it right. You'd be money ahead waiting on the right car.
I love these things, but would never, ever, buy another one without proper maintenance and paperwork to back it up.

Yuuuuup.
Looks driven hard and put away wet, I'd pass. There are plenty out there that have led pampered lives in garages. I'd find one of them--- it will save you $$ in the long run.
If you can get it for 4, you can part it out for 10...
Don't buy this.
If the pixels were good I would buy it
Oh boy, lowered too much, eBay "brake kit", knock-off wheels, shredded interior, dead cluster x2, "boost controller" and "CAI", and zero service records and a current owner who's done no maintenance, plus all the leaks in the road. I wouldn't touch this thing for more than $2K, personally.
The wheels should tell you everything you need to know. If that's not a big enough clue, check the section 8 housing in the background. I bet that car smells bad.
Haha. Thanks everyone. Irrational auto-lust sufficiently slaked for now.
Datsun, both. I just needed to be berated for a bit so that I didn't make a dumb decision.
Porsches aren't terribly expensive to own. But the interest rate for putting maintenance on layaway is horrendous.
u guys are kidding about the leaks in the road, right, what did I miss? Did someone see some spots on the road where the photo was taken and jump to the conclusion that the vehicle leaks fluid? Seriously?
Wheels are ugly and doesn't look right lowered. Don't buy it.
what leaks do you speak of?
Don't buy that.
I'd offer him $3-3500, then have it towed home to start fixing the broken stuff/deferred maintenance.
It doesn't look too bad and you can sell the stupid springs and wheels to some sucker on eBay.
Solid rotors/pads aren't too bad online through Pelican or RockAuto, etc.
Seat upholstery kits are available.
Timing belt parts are readily available and should be absolutely done before starting the motor.
Boost controller is fine, I've used them on my 'murican turbo cars without issue, even made them from Grainger or McMaster-Carr parts. There is a concernt that he may have it turned up too high, so a good compression check is required before purchasing.
I would try to avoid anything being sold in Cockeyesville! 
Are you nuts? Don't buy that. feel better?
