993TT S

I like the 3.8 factor, but will the purist? Did not know you could do that with out rods etc, that sounds a little more than you'd pay for a 3.6 top end, correct? ( without programming). I'd buy it.

The option code for Titanium Calipers is XRE and was a $1,244 option.

$17K for a top end done by a dealership sounds like a fair price. An indy would be more in the $12-15K range. Depending on the "while your in there" items.

This TTS has a history. You will be lucky to get $134,995!!!!

Beautiful car. You should have no trouble selling it even in this economy. And there is no doubt you are being transparent regarding the car. GLWS.

I don't understand what this means: "you will be lucky to get 135" AND "you should have no trouble selling it." Do you mean that 135 is too high or fair? Or am I missing something, like perhaps you know the seller and know that he is willing to sell it at 100k, so that he will not get 135 but will sell it quickly?

I think he means someone will come in and low ball him and try and get $5.00 off the asking price

I have seen this car a few times and it sure is nice! I would love to have it my garage.

I had a great time on that little drive with you Eric. I thought I saw you in the afternoon two weeks ago or so at Whole Foods in Reno.

Lowry, Yes it was probably me " Whole Paycheck Foods " They got some good stuff. We should do another drive , but I remember I could not keep up with that Viper! Scary Fast! You have a beautiful car , I ran the numbers in my head and unfortunatly Im unable to buy it, but who ever does will get a nice car. Plus If I did buy it I would need to lie to my wife and say I repainted mine

What are you planing to replace it with? You have a nice collection. One of these Spyders would look good in your garage

Good luck with the sale. Eric

I have been there a couple of times. It's unbelievable. Eric and I went on a great drive with that 993 TTS and I will say it is one of the cleanest I have ever seen. All of Lowry's cars are very well cared for so whoever get's this one will get a great buy.
