The Guards Red paint appears in very good shape throughout the car, with a constant depth and shine across all the body panels. The front bumper and hood show some minor stone peppering and some scuffing present on the lower front spoiler. The rear bumper appears to have been repainted at some point in the car's life but matches the rest of the car well. There are some touch-up spots and minor paint chips on the rear bumper. In addition, there is some paint chipping on the outer edge of the driver's side door which have been touched up. The body of the car remains smooth and straight with appropriate body gaps and panel fitment.

The glass throughout the car appears to be mostly original, with the correct factory markings present. The only exception is the windshield which appears to be a replacement. The trim throughout the exterior of the car appears in good order, with the exception of the passenger side rear quarter window which shows some signs of cracking of the paint in spots. The headlights, taillights, markers, and fogs all appear in good cosmetic order with no signs of cracking or extensive pitting.

All four wheels are in good order with smooth deep painted surfaces and clean polished lips.

The interior presents very nicely for the age. The deeply bolstered sport seats remain in good order with some minor creasing present but overall smooth and clean leather with a smattering of patina. The only exception is the driver's side outer bolster which displays some cracking of the leather. The carpets remain in good order with proper fitment and nice coloring and weave. The dash area has started to show a bit of waviness where it meets the windscreen glass but retains good color and shows no cracks. The door cards remain clean and tidy however the side pocket lids display a bit of deformation to them, however they do appear to close and open properly. The dash front fits well, with no major pulling around the centrally mounted vents. The glove box appears to fit properly and opens and closes as it should. The headliner is in good shape, with some very slight sagging and bulging in places but still perfectly functional.

The functionality of the interior appears in good order. Everything works as it should with the exception of the clock which no longer keeps time. There is an aftermarket stereo mounted in the dash and aftermarket speakers mounted in the doors, both of which appear to function as they should. There is some slight patina so some of the interior controls such as the shifter knob, and some of the other various knobs and switches, which have some slight scuffing and scratching congruent with the mileage.

The engine bay of this 930 appears well kept and looked after. It retains a largely original and factory appearance with no obvious signs of modification. There is some minor paint scuffing and chipping around the outer shut edges of both the engine bay lid as well as where this meets the body of the car. In addition, some factory stickers are still present in the engine bay area. Hoses, clamps, wires, and tubes appear in good cosmetic and mechanical condition. Overall there are no outward signs of any mechanical issues in the engine bay however there is some minor surface corrosion located on various brackets and hardware as one would expect with the mileage.

The front trunk area displays well-fitting correct style carpets. Removing the carpets shows a clean and correct front trunk area with factory spare appropriately mounted in addition to the factory tools and inflator which are included. There is some slight scraping in the paint on the underside of the hood where it appears to have been rubbing a bit. The VIN stamping is present and clear.

The underside of this 930 appears relatively clean and tidy for the age and mileage. There is some minor surface corrosion appearing on some bolt heads and hardware but no mechanical issues appear present. The floor pans straight and smooth with no signs of issues past or present. The underside of the motor has some road dirt accumulation but otherwise displays no signs of leaking or issues. There is some slight denting of the exhaust present, specifically on the muffler, but it appears and sounds to be fine mechanically.

The turbocharged flat-six engine fires to life with ease and settles into a smooth raspy idle as the engine comes up to temperature. Out on the road, it makes excellent power and the Turbo spools up in its dramatic fashion just as you would expect. There are no flat spots or stumbles with acceleration and the car is a blast to drive.

The 4-speed transmission shifts smoothly through gears and holds power well, even when the turbo begins to spool up! The clutch takeup and feedback feel appropriate and allow for easy and direct shifting.

The brakes bring the car to a smooth and controlled stop with no odd behavior or noises noticed during our testing. The suspension feels tight and compliant and displays no odd road behavior or noises. The car tracks straight and the steering is light and responsive.

The tires are an older set of Yokohama A520. The sizing is 225/50ZR16 in the rear and 205/50ZR16 in the front. The DOT date code appears to read that the tires were produced in 2001. Despite their age, they show ample tread and solid sidewalls and are likely good for now but a future owner may want to replace them before spirited driving.
