Appreciate the input guys.

Also have to weigh in the current owner sold the aero cup wing () so I have to buy a replacement ($1300~), repaint the front spoiler he took off and its in Los Angelos ($1500~ to ship).

Have to add in $4000.00~ just in shipping and putting it back to stock.

Hmmm.

Having a 991 GTS makes me realize that the 997 GTS may have been the best of the non-track water cooled P cars. Add in the manual transmission....I can understand your dilemma.

Steve McQueen sold his beloved Jaguar XKSS and then bought it back later.

IF you can afford it and want it - why not?

I would pass, unless you're really emotionally attached to it. Your list of other toys seem to trump this buy-back.

With the additonal issues as noted I would offer him $62kish. He likely won't take so it will be on to the next.

If you have the space and cash why not?

BTW exactly where would you find a GTS aero wing for ~$1300?

Something tells me that your memory of what the car was is greater than the actual driving experience. I would drive it again before committing... you may feel differently. IMHO.
