Default Top Gear Porsche Rennfax

I know there is a lot of speculation with Top Gear Porsche in NJ but I was wondering if anyone has seen this car in person:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1998-...item19d82d3937

OR

If anyone lives close

OR

If anyone is planning to visit Top Gear Porsche

....if they wouldn't mind doing a once over of the car??

Thanks for any and all help...proceeding with extreme caution!

For a little bit more they have a nice 96 Turbo for sale:

There was a member from California who recently bought a 993 from them and has been over the moon with it...still get any car you look at in for an independent PPI

When you go, watch out that you don't slip and fall from all the greasy tire shine on the floor.

They ALL look "NICE" on the internet. Unfortunately the turbo is outside of my budget. I am more than happy with a C2S but thanks for the info!

Be curious to hear feedback on condition etc. One thing for sure, this place knows how to take pics of their cars, perfect lighting and angles, literally all their cars look like new.

That's quite a premium (~$50k) for a 59kmi car..... It is a 1998 C2S in Arena Red (rare, so worth something), but quite a markup for that given the mileage. That said, it is gorgeous!
