Default 1996 Speed Yellow 993 C4S at Truspeed

Does anyone know anything about this car? Was thinking about buying it. Looks like a perfect car. http://www.truspeedmotorcars.com/car...s.php?cid=2120 Is the price fair?

I saw this car for sale on Autotrader IIRC by the Hawaiian owner about 2 weeks ago for $44K. Either Truespeed bought it or it's on consignment .. either way it's obviously been shipped over to L.A. There's an identical car listed for sale on PCA classifieds for $52K or Best Offer .. I'm thinking it's the same car. Popular color but it's not a 2S so IMHO .. $44K would have been a good price. Here's the PCA ad with same pictures as the Autotrader ad. Looks like Hawaii to me ... :

Beautiful car! Truspeed generally has excellent examples. They do charge a premium for their cars but you end up getting a no stories well taken care of 993. Of course a PPI at an unaffiliated independent shop is a must!

That's a different car, Pope! The Truspeed one doesn't have Litronics or Hi-Fi. Although the tires and clear corners match!

Yeah .. you're probably right but I couldn't tell from the PCA ad or the Autotrader ad if those cars actually had those options .. no interior shots. Seems like an amazing coinkydink to me .... BUT either way .. there's another option and another price point .. still $8K over retail IMHO ..

In the other thread someone vouches for the cleanliness of this car...

Wow...if this 96 C4S is listed at $51,995 with 40k miles then I wonder what my 98 C4S with 56k miles would be worth...no I'm not selling

And you're not TruSpeed, so no dealer premium for you.
