What say you? I may be inclined to opine that it has been hit in the ***.

Condition looks pretty good to me. Price seems fair too.
(although dealer made no mention of it being accident free...)

Seems like a great price and I'd think a little low with those miles. Times have been changing and even the 993TT(s) are feeling it. Nice call on the Mobil sticker but i think you can still order them. My sticker is bubbling up a bit but I have more miles and use.

From the picture, it appears to be a Willhoit car. He has a reputation for being a straight shooter; call him up and ask him the details. If it was hit and he knew it, I believe he would tell you.

Willhoit has been sitting on that car for several months. Market is very slow.

The wheels are a cheap knock-off and the original build options don't match up with the current state of the car.

Was there a Shell sticker on the 1996 TT?

Greg,

By your reckoning then yours must've been hit up the *** too

I would ssy that MOST ppl (esp Porsche Owners minus the REAL enthusiasts) wouldnt give a rats *** if a sticker was there or not - who REALLY knows what has happened over the past 12 or so years ....

I had a discussion with Willhoit about that car some time back and he claims that it is an original paint car. If you are uncertain about it, but still interested, put a paint meter on it. I would not let the absence of a sticker deter me if everything else is right.

Also a thought is that that piece COULD have been replaced. I know I took mine of, cleaned it and painted it and just masked the Mobil sticker so it looked correct
