Default Finally got a 996

Thanks to everyone that provided invaluable advice. Picked up a 2003 45000 mile 72000 km black 996 this past week. No accidents. I think the only options is Bose cdr23. That’s the way I wanted it. Very clean example. Ppi was clean. Leak down and borescope were clean. Even has a 2017 Porsche branded battery. IMS Solution being installed in a couple weeks. Likely clutch, rms and aos for sure.

here are some pics

Beautiful! I love your wheels! They're my favorite! I wish my car had been that shiny and prepped when I picked it up, you should have seen it, swirls everywhere, very rough. And that was from a "reputable" high end used car lot.

Great looking car! Smart move to go with the IMS Solution and take the entire conversation off the table. Enjoy!
