Killeen, Texas. Should be a known car here.

It's amazing that the ODO has worked for that many km/miles.

Very interesting car apart from the mileage.
What I have been looking for. Has the full S4 suspension and brakes but the mileage is too high for me.
I asked about the VIN and it does not compute in the Porsche system fully. One digit wrong. Checking further.

It would be interesting to know the service history for this car - what has been required to keep it going this many miles. I would love to see the insides of that engine.

Amsoil or the run away odo issue.

Got the VIN sorted. Has Rogerbox with shorter gear ratio 13/30 251. Also wider rear track 415.

A lot of rust where the original rear wing was removed. That big *** wing would have to go and the expanded rear arches.

Looks like someone put the Club Sports on without removing the rear spacers, had clearance issues, and then solved them with a crowbar.

Roger,
I think you need another project. This one is in Texas and is calling your name.

OK "brains trust" what's it worth???

Rare ROW 16v with S4 running gear - poor condition with bad rust spots. HIGH mileage. Rogerbox adds value.

Already at $1750 and no reserve on eBay.
