Looks like a good buy, if it checks out.

The car was sold in Houston with 5000mls less for 45000$. (Google the vin) It's either depreciating in free fall or something is fishy...

Looks like it's been for sale for approximately 4 months.

So I just googled the VIN on this one and thank god I did. Appeared to have gotten into a serious wreck at some point a few years back. Google showed some pictures from an auction the showed a lot of damage to the rear end. Autocheck didn't turn up any accidents or anything fishy.

Interestingly, the seller increased the price by 2000 this week. It said for almost 6 months at 36k and it was relisted for 38k right after I posted about it. Maybe the seller thought the relatively low price was scaring people away.

That seems to be the same car as the two posts above were talking about, just pointing it out bc of the accident damage that does not appear to be described in the add.

Hi guys, I'm considering a 996tt that has 19" HRE C93's on it but prefer Turbo Twists, so would likely swap - wondering if any of you know what I could expect to sell the HREs for? That will help me synthesize the final purchase price as I'd like to compartmentalize w/out the HREs. They appear to be in excellent original condition.

Thanks!

I'll trade you my OEM hollow twists for the HRE's if you like. PM if you want.

Rumor is that this car served as the prototype for the 991. Get it while you can.

You guys are too much, lol. That's some agressive 4 wheel steering

Poor car hate to see stuff like that.
