Red face 996 doesn't look like it's gonna happen

VIN: WP0AA2994XS625921

I've been keeping this a big secret, as I have been torn between an 03' Cobra and a 99' 996. After seeing what Chip did to the 02' Cobra I'm gonna have to pass...LOL.

Really that doesn't have anything to do with it, but that was just amazing!

I'm just such a Porsche nut that I think I need another!

Hopefully everything checks out OK and I can get the deal the way I want it. I would love to add it to my stable.

Thanks,

A 996? Nice. If you do get it be careful. Fishey is in your neighborhood and you know what happens to trannys when he's around.

For got to add, take the Carfax with a grain of salt. It also says mine is 100%, but I've found several inaccuracies which would disqualify it for the $5000 guarantee!

Yeah, I'm gonna be real careful on this one. I have a full history on the car and it all looks too good!

Price is very good and the car is a gem.

Hope it all works out OK.

Joe,

Thanks a million! I have discovered that the dealership has had this vehicle for sale for over a year now. Wonder why? This may work to my advantage as long as everything checks out OK.

Thanks again,

The dealer and I are still $4500 apart on price. I guess I'm just a tighta$$, but I want a sweet deal (not to mention I really can't afford anymore).

Just thought I'd update for anyone who cares!

Especially if it's been for sale for a year. Most of the time the people who have the $$ to buy these cars are going for newer models, sot he dealers can't move ones a few years old very easily. This was the case when my dad bought his 993TT a couple years ago. It had been on the lot for about a year also. He kept saying no and they kept calling him back and sweetening the deal..got outta there almost $15k less than they originally wanted and with a 1 year warranty to boot.
