I agree the dealer is asking very strong money for the car...

Its a good car no issues when I had it.

1Buck,

How is the drive, is it any faster than a standard turbo with that kit, ? What did you do to the suspension? I am in the market and the car looks like just what I would like.

they have always had high prices no other dealership around for a long drive. i went in there once with my 996tt and the service manager was a tool. hope they got rid of him.

This was my car. I think it is a fair price considering all the work that was done by Only1Buck and Ray at RPM. It shows as a car with half the mileage!
The Interior Leather and sports seats are like new. The steering wheel was also replaced and is as new. The paint on this car is immaculate! The car now belongs to the dealership and I have no dog in this hunt! I have had nothing but a stellar relationship with this dealer and service manager and I think maybe the "tool" is another person!
Just trying to give my perspective...

Too bad this car didn't go from Rennlister to another Rennlister and instead ended up in a used car dealer's lap. Shame.

Awesome 993...

The PO is a friend of mine and a stand up long time air-cooled Porsche owner... some 30+ years if memory serves me correctly. Congrats Jeff on your new turbo

Interesting comments regarding the dealer there OS Inspector...

My .02...

Like Jeff, I too have had nothing but a great relationship with Gee and everyone there including service managers since their opening. They have always treated me extremely well and done service work on all my 911's and my `05 Cayenne (they did the dreaded coolant pipe upgrade) to my complete satisfaction. In addition, I know my brother has been satisfied with their handling and sale of his `07 997 gt3 and his new Cayenne.

@lambotex as WhiteHotPepper noted the car shows much better than the mileage would indicate she is a beauty ... I don't recall doing anything with the suspension but if I did it would have been PSS 9 at the time I owned the car. I never had any issues with the ride ... in terms of extra kick because of the kit I think its noticeable but not dramatic ... certainly more dramatic results would have been obtained by going with different upgrades to the engine but I was more interested in staying within the Porsche family so to speak...candidly I have been having conversations with myself (I do this frequently but that's a story for another time) about buying the car back ... as is often the case with me it would be an emotional car purchase ...
