Default Thank You

I wanted to give a shout out to the forum and say thanks - i found it very helpful in my search for a car that ended today

I pulled the trigger on a 2004 996TT X50, manual, coupe, 26K mi, with the following options:

410 - 18" Turbo II Wheel
513 - Passenger Lumbar Support
586 - Driver Lumbar Support
BASE - Porsche Base Model
CZ - Full Leather - Graphite Grey
E70 - Leather package (large)
G1 - Guards Red
X50 - Turbo Power Kit
X70 - Door Sills in Stainless Steel
X71 - Instrument Dials in Aluminum Look
XMZ - Rear Center Console in Leather
XNS - Steering Column in Leather
XPA - Steering Wheel in Leather
XSX - Red Seat Belts
XX2 - Footwell Lighting
Y06 - Alum. Look/Leather Gear Shift **** & Brake Handle

I look forward to contributing to the community but have much to learn first with this being my first Porsche

thanks

I am told that the only item not original to the car is the radio

wouldn't know enough to know if this is true

any sharp eyes out there spot anything else?

(engine pics to follow in the next day or two)

Thanks Dave

Wing is already down - these are the seller's pics...he was trying to show it

Speaking of the wing, the plastic casing around these two lines (electric? hydraulic?) have dried, cracked and mostly flaked away - is that an issue? - need to be replaced?



thanks!
