Default Ruf R Conversion 4 sale. a STEAL

No affiliation, but here's another bargain advertised in Auoweek:

Cripes, if someone will buy my car, I'll buy this Ruf.

In return for this tip, please post all findings about this car.

Steve,

You could always buy the Ruf first, and THEN sell your car! Screw the cash flow. That way, you can personally write the findings rather rely on someone else

I am investigating seriously already. Someone out there may scoop me, of course.

Anyone want a sweet 97 C4S? 22k miles.

I would love a "sweet 97 C4S" as long as somebody buys my 97 C2 first!

Stedge,

I'm also getting interested. Can you give me first dibs, since I was the one that found the ad? We can PM each other if you wish.

Stedge, What about the guy who offered you in the $60s a short time ago? Could be an even trade!

I spoke with the owner the car has 90,000 miles and he spent $50,000 last year to do the conversion.
Go to www.autobahntech.com photos 993 to view.

It's been converted by a Ruf technician sent from Germany 12,000 miles ago. Coilover suspension and Ruf sway bars/strut brace. Ruf 19" magnesium wheels, pedals, carpet mats, badges, Roock exhaust, GT2 clutch assembly. Car has 98,000 total miles on it.

Go to www.autobahntech.com for all pics (click on photo gallery and then look for 993 twin turbo Ruf gallery for actual pics).

Arena red with grey supple leather with full carbon kit inside. CD changer, no accidents, no track time.

Car is located in Birmingham Alabama.

All information is from the owner of the car (I called the number in the post).

This should make someone a happy camper if they don't mind the mileage.

Wow! Base on the website, it is a RUF converted 993TT! Steve, it's your car all modded up! Someone jump on it, it's a great deal. Heck, maybe my wife wants an Arena Red twin of my TT in the garage.
