Some of you may know the previous owner of Chuck's car, Tim Bromely.

I can attest that this car was well cared for prior to 2007 when it was Tim's. Certainly Chuck has also cared for this car and made some tasteful upgrades (MY 02s and Fister III)

Awesome color combo as well.

I sure hope this car stays in the Rennlist family.

That's what the trunk is for.

Do I see an E63 in your future?

If I was in the market this would be on of those rare opportunities where I would buy a one way ticket, skip the PPI, arrive with a check and smile all the way back home.

GLWS. Cars in this conditon with documented history are becoming increasing harder to find.

back in 2006, when I was deep in my search for a 993, I came across Tim Bromely and this 96 midnight blue 993. the car was perfect back then, top end done, meticulous owner, only thing was the car was in Atlanta, and living in LA, I figured I could find something locally. Eventually I found my current 993, and turned Chuck on to Tim's car, which he obviously acquired.

It is really strange to have a connection with Chuck's car as I didn't buy it, but having seen it, I know I should have bought it back in 2006.

I am happy with my current 993, although someday I know I will have to have the top end done, whoever gets this car won't have to worry about that.

I remember how happy Chuck was when he got this car, even hosted a German themed party!

Someone will get a very very nice 993.

Thanks again for all of the positive thoughts. Car is still available. I have had a handful of inquiries.

Despite all of the comments here about being under-priced, some people still want to negotiate.

I you priced it at $32k, people would still come in at $30k. It's built into the car buying DNA process.

Should have price it at $39k, sold it for $36k by now. It's definitely worth what your asking, easily.

Very clean, well sorted, and fairly priced - my favourite colour too: a guy could recommend this 993 to a chum without losing sleep over it ...

This is truly a nice car, i.e. both visually and mechanically, having personally seen the car.

Car is sold. Thanks so much for all of the supportive posts. That was probably a big reason why the car sold so quickly and a reminder that it's a good idea to make sure that your local Rennlisters know your car!

Garth's friend Lloyd is a class act and has been a pleasure to work with. Hopefully he will introduce himself and share his cross country itinerary with so you northern and middle states guys can meet him along the way and buy him a beer!
