But does that set the price? And are more of them available...now?

If an owner decides to sell his mint 10,000 mile 993 for $10K, does that set the price for the rest of them? Hardly! What you have is one lucky buyer.

I bet there's a couple of inches of ground clearance gained with the removal of that amplifier. The price is a bit steep for not having a set of sport seats in it.

I'm just looking at the overall presentation and to me this doesn't represent a $49K car, even with a SG exterior. Versuvio could probably command that sort of number as is.

Just sent Seller email to get paint code. Sellers seems like a relatively sophisticated Porsche enthusiast, would seem weird to me that he would get color incorrect

Seller confirmed that it is Slate Grey and has corrected the ad.

Can't believe that SG turbo is still available!

I've seen this car several times, glad it's now on the west coast. Temptation is ah...

Perhaps the owner got fed up with the dealer and decided to give it a go himself on Pelican. $45K is better, but I'm not a fan of the C2S premium.

Even with 68K on the clock, this TT seems like a "better" buy to me. It seems like there are a great many TTs with 30K or less on the clock and that most TT buyers are very discriminating and don't mind spending $60K+ for the "right" garage queen. So, the cars with more than 50K or so get a stink of death on them for no rational reason.

Have you priced parts for a TT? There is a rational reason.

No, but if I get a strong maintenance history, clean PPI and all things equal, I'd prefer $15K in my pocket to saving 30K miles. But I know I'm not everyone.
