Default Famous 964R TT Finally Available

After all the magazine shoots, events, attention and fun I am finally able to let someone else share the spotlight with this amazing work of art. As many of you followed the build or contacted me through Rennlist, I thought I'd put it up here....They don't get much prettier, faster or fun than this.

If given a blank slate and blank check this wouldn't have been my vision. But I must say what a terrific end result! Very cool car, good luck with the sale!

While I certainly know alot about your car and a huge admirer. Your eBay ad is very poor, the pictures are poor, small and too few for a $100K car and your ad is very non descript. There might be potential bidders who know nothing about the car and even the build or the magazine features.

I typically put myself in the shoes of the buyer and give every detail possible and photograph the car from every angle possible, you do not even show a photo of the beautiful 993TT motor. As we live in a very visual world any detail that can assist in this department always contributes in a successful sale and getting you your price.

Good luck and sorry to see that it is up for sale, I would love to have it!

Yasin....thanks for the constructive thoughts.

By the way...as you know, there isn't anything to see in a 993TT engine bay but a big black and rather dull and unimpressive looking intercooler.....possibly one of the most ugly engine bays in the land...so I didn't add any....pics. Anyone who is even remotely interested in this car will come see it in the flesh....then they'll be able to see the totally trick gold foil airbox and some of the other nifty little bits. But thanks again for the suggestions...

Yassin....by the way, the pics are all from either the Excellence or Total911 photo shoot, so while they may be low res...as they were taken by pros...I am a bit concerned that you find them "poor"... which leads me to wonder then, what else one can do?

Damn wrong time...right car..(for me at least). I have always been an admirer of your car. The level to detail is amazing. I would LOVE to see this in my garage..but at the moment life is a bit unfair with me..lol. At the moment my second home has the perfect garage for this beast but timing is not right. DAMN again..

Good luck with the sale brother...

One "s" please in my name. Sorry if I was being harsh but you took the feedback well. Any $150 digital camera will give you pictures that will make any pro "blush" a quick page through on the 964 picture thread brings a few eamples:

First off, amazing car. But you need to step your add up in a BIG way. It currently reads like a $20,000 car with a $15,000 engine for $99,000.00. The fact that it was in a couple of magazine articles is neat for conversation, but by no means makes the car worth more. The other thing is the mileage. This is not a 100 point Nethercutt car. List the proper mileage. By putting 7500 it makes the car look like it was a salvage brought back to life.

I am in the same boat you are. I have an otherwise normal 964T with a very fancy engine put in it. The only thing this gets me is admission to the "More money than brains club".

Your car is a unique beast. Take some better pictures and put together a super detailed description and I am sure you will get a buyer.

Y65...maybe you and Yasin can start a new service where you write compelling ads w/spectacular pictures....It goes w/o saying that you are more than welcome to use my car as a test case if you like!

I would be happy too and already have such service offerings available...I have sold lots of cars for friends and co-workers on eBay (15 I believe now)...if you pay for me to fly out to California I will gladly help you out. Here is a link to the last car I sold on eBay..reserve was met on Day 3 of bidding.
