Default Turbo S for $179K.

Listed on Ebay with a BIN of $180K. 30K miles and non original/aftermarket Protomotive intercooler with SUV ride height. Not sure the CF and cashmere interior work well together.

Surely anyone paying top dollar like this for a Turbo S is going to want the original components.\

I can't believe that a dealer will not check the car before putting it up on the Internet , the muffler tips are backwards

Default mess

from what I hear this car is a mess, new interior due to damage etc... buyer beware etc...that price is a joke for a none clean Turbo S car...hopefully no one gets suckered.

Yes, although if someone didn't like the look its an easy change. If this car has damage history the asking price is a joke.

The dash is warped around the center AC vent and the vent itself is not covered with leather like it is supposed to be. There is a laundry list of things WRONG with this car.

I can. Key word: dealer. Just another greedy, deplorable organization trying to extort someone with more money than brains. Sad that it's this car.

That's a good call ! Good eye.

What,,,,, doesn't the 993 Turbo S have only but a 24hp / 17ftlbs output advantage over a 993 Turbo ? IIRC the specific output variance - isn't compeling for my money. Ok, and theres the air inatkes on the fender's and the additional interior pieces ( the ones nobody order's anyway; carbon fibre trim etc)

$180K Go figure.

I thought the TT-S came with Sports seats?... for $180k... I think I would want the support for my back, since I just got BOHICA'd ;-)

I think Im going to add a TurboS emblem to my C2.. and only ask $100k.. Any takers?

Seriously... What a joke..

+993. Ran by asshats. Google Parin Shah chicago motorcars and see for yourself. I wish I could find it (might have been on 6speed) but there was a huge thread where Shah sold a $100K car without disclosing the frame damage. Buyer called him on it after the purchase and he denied any knowledge in the thread himself.

Another dealer who was at the high end auction in FL broke the code of silence and ratted him out. The car was fully disclosured as frame damaged (even a light comes on at the auction when it goes across the line). Then Shah starts back peddling saying one of his spotters bought it; not him......blah, blah, puke, blah.

All these clowns do is buy POS cars nobody wants and then mark them up 100% for the next poor sap who just got his great aunts inheritance .
