Default 993 Twin Turbo S Bargain?

As shocking as it may seem, this actually looks like a bargain in today's market. I wonder if this is a "no stories" car.

I believe that is the "story car" that was on autotrader for a few years and over 8,000 views.

Lots of horror stories on Google about Top Gear Imports.. Plus I remember that they use to cover flaws on their car photos with Photoshop. So that said, I wouldn't be surprised that this car has some sort of a story attach to it.

I believe it has a salvage title. It was originally an LA Dismantler car, don't hold me on that.

Top gear buys storied cars. But never do shy away if you want to do a ppi. They let the buyer determine if they want to move forward or not... if you call and ask they will tell you about the car. But always do your own due diligence. This particular car. Sold full ask and did have history with it. U won't find a no stories no paint turbo s for 250k. Anymore. With that kinda miles.

The name is a ripoff of a world famous TV show. How do businesses do that with a clear head? So deceiving to the general public pretending to have some sort of affiliation or association. I would think that they have been made aware of this by the show at some point. It's like starting a soft drink company called Coke a Cola but pretending to not be trying to ride it's tails...

anyone know the owners? I used to have a polar silver andial 993TT and wish I never sold it, although it helped me get a CGT. I'm not really into the turquoise but I'm interested. the andial mods were outrageous
