Default Would you buy a 993TT with or without OEM mufflers and wheels?

I'm close to purchasing a 993TT and am wondering whether I should buy the car with the original Porsche Turbo mufflers and wheels or the aftermarket ones that are on the car now (I prefer the wheels but don't know anything about mufflers)?

If I ever were to sell that car again, would not having OEM mufflers and wheels lower the car value?

What would be a fair price for the mufflers and the wheels individually?

i'd take aftermarket mufflers over stock.

wheels are too personal to say for certain.

for some reason most potential purchasers of 993tts want the car all original and then they do the mods later...so you would be better off when selling with original stuff, but you probably will want to mod these things so if you go aftermarket then you may save yourself time and money.

yes I would. You can find all the original parts later if you want them.

I did. And have the spare OEM parts for the future, if I want to change back.

I would most certainly get the original wheels. The muffler is not as important in my opinion. Of course the originality, mileage and condition of the rest of the car is most important for its resale value. Best of luck.

Both 993Ts I bought had two sets of everything. I ended up storing all of that crap in my garage for the next owner with Frank.
I am currently in the process of selling off all of my stock stuff, 'cause I know it's never going back on the car in my stewardship.

Thanks for your replies. If it's not too difficult and expensive to find these parts later, I won't bother now. Thanks!
