I have never heard of them (If this is the car) http://www.specialtysales.com/1996-p...rbo-c-1782.htm although that car and those wheels do look familiar to me.

Shameless plug: I have a similar car for sale as well.....with a more desirable color interior and more factory options

Don't know the car, but the price should be in the mid $74-75K range.....

I've visited the Benicia location, the basically take any car on consignment and bump the number by 6% or more. Real Mean Garage RMG in Sunnyvale would is your best bet for PPI. Ask for Bob.

I think I know that car. I believe it was Danny Sullivans original car. He bought it in Aspen CO. do a car fax on it and see where it was originally registered. If it is that car you need to have it PPI'd VERY carefully It was Modded heavily if I remember and was kind of a cluge. At any rate $80 for this car is hugely optimistic. I think the reason it only has 20K miles on it is because its never run right. I test drove it in 2002 IF its the same car and it had 17K miles on it.
With the economy the way it is I have seen GT3s fall $15k in the last 3 weeks. So 80K is an aggressive sellers price for a 993TT 8 weeks ago. its almost Turbo S prices today.

I don't think it's almost Turbo S prices, show me any Turbo S's with similar mileage, and I'm buying it all day long...

There were a couple of S's with more milage like in the 70K mile range in the high 80's.
Of course you couldnt an S with with 20K miles at 80K
IF I was in the market and on a TT and a S came along with that high of milage
I would cross shop it.
I never said the same milage. I have just seen a couple in that price range. I am mechanically
knowledgeable enough to take care of it myself if it hasnt been abused.
I have seen 997 GT3 prices fall 15K in 4 weeks I dont think it would be hard to
find a high milage S in the 80-90k Range I am not in the market however
