No matter how much ugly you put in the rest of the car you still can't outdo the front end!

"Female owned and driven"....meaning, I assume, all of the fluids and filters are original, and it's never gone over 3k RPM.

I looked at this post expecting it to be about some 993, why are we posting ads for a 996 here?

my buddy just bought a 99 with a 1/4 of the miles, white over black coupe, for a few grand less than the starting bid.
It is an "s" though - go figure, and it's "pimp"
didn't know turbo wheels were worth 15k - puts speed lines to shame.

Gotta love it. "Salvaged title, not an accident; will explain to a serious buyer"

So if you're one of those buyers who is easy going, jovial and not "serious" you don't get an explanation.

I can hear the 'explanation' now: went to register the title at the DMV and the jerk at the counter was a die hard Porsche guy who insisted on having a good look at this rare beauty. He took one look at the one-of-a-kind white dash and his face turned a pale color almost matching the dash perfectly. He refused to give this car a normal title so it's stuck with the salvage title. That watermark you see circling the entire interior has nothing to do with the salvage title, that was put there on purpose by the one-of-a-kind shop that installed that white dash as a trademark to prevent copies.

I always chuckle at that claim. It isn't like it is a positive (no offense to the lady gearheads out there).

Consider this my defense of women everwhere who know how to drive and pay good money to keep their car professionally and meticiously maintained...

Accidentally drive off the end of the pier? "conditional warranty"? Ah, yes...Oklahoma Guarantee: 30 mi. or 30 min., whichever occurs first!

That car needs more color, maybe this set of wheels can help. It matches the red S badge perfectly.
