Was not expecting RNM, crazy. I’d be.VERY surprised if he EVER sells it for more than $31k.

i can’t claim a beer on a RNM auction, but thanks!

yes on to the next one indeed...

Perfrxt miles, decent color combo, most the PM done including imsb solution which is nice. I’d almost guess RNM on this one too but will say bidding stops at $25.5k

8hr away from closing and currently at 20k. Wonder if it will go super cheap (RNM) or bidders will come to the table at the end? Case of the Monday’s?

Possibly the price has not gone up quickly due to the common color.
But IMS Solution should help sell it.
But that is what I paid for my 996 with the IMS Solution, Fabspeed exhaust, and clear bra with a little more mileage about a year and a half ago.
So it could sell for that much, but I'd expect it to go for higher.

My 996 sold (to me) 1 day after it was listed for sale.
When I saw it priced for $20K locally, I texted him immediately and grabbed my Durametric cable and laptop and got going!

I don’t figure bid will climb to $23,000. Interior soft touch is beat up, tips sag, no Carrera II’s, no flares. No value-added items like suspension upgrades, 997 engine parts updates, skid plate, shifter, Bose, Fister, etc. No DME readout. Basic, low mile 996-$21,500, add $3,000 for IMS Solution; so $24,500 at high end. I believe max bid of $22,996 is possible. But I also thought Super Bowl O/U of 58 was too low. So bidding should end at $21,000.

I'm watching this one as well. Sitting right now at $20k. Will be interesting to see how much love the IMS solution provides compared to the standard LN retrofit bearing kit. Looks like a nice car though - I would definitely have been following this once very closely if I had not found mine in December. No prediction on price - BAT has been all over the place in the last couple of weeks on 996's.

BAT well loved 99. Low miles, lo optioned, taco aero added. Shows love, but IMS not addressed. I'm gonna say $20,749.

5 hours left, get your bids in now(no affiliation, not bidding, wrong color for me).

Agree with docmirror. IMS (if desired) and ATB or LSD (~$6) and this is one fine 99 (built 1/98). Gotta say $20,000, top $21,000.

"Factory-style Aero-kit."
Definitely not a factory Taco, but I like it!
I like all kinds of Tacos!

I'm going to guess $22K.
I wish I could find a silver early 98 with aero-kit with more miles and fewer $$ locally.
I'd jump on it!
In fact if I could find a cheap early 98 locally I'd jump on it no matter the color with or without aero-kit.

This is an interesting one, was looking at it over this morning's coffee. Seems early aero cars are rather en vogue right now, but how bad will the aftermarket aero hurt. Also seems really quiet w/ the bidding, either lots of folks in the weeds or this one will be RNM. Gonna say the bidding stops at 22,996 and RNM.

My thinking on aftermarket body modes(including aero) is a crappy one will really have a negative affect. Nicely done aftermarket will have little or maybe no positive affect.

I like your number - if that is RNM on a car that has not had the IMS done, I would be surprised. This looks like a nice car overall; I'm not a fan of the aftermarket aero kit but at least it is decent looking. $23k seems like all the money for this one; if the seller were to get than and RNM I would question their sanity.

I agree, an aftermarket aerokit-like kit it will have a minimal or negative affect on the price.
A factory aerokit added after it left the factory will have a greater affect on the price.
A factory aerokit added At the factory will have a much greater affect on the price.

A mis-matched aerokit, like mine, would really be a crap shoot.
I have a factory Aerokit II front bumper, factory Aerokit II side skirts, but an aftermarket aerokit I (Taco) spoiler.
But most people would not know mine is an aftermarket Taco, even if they got a good look at it.
Especially since it has all the factory stickers underneath.
It is only missing the manufacture's markings.

Headlight-wise, I have 2 sets of headlights.
One set with headlight covers and one set without.
If I were to sell mine the new owner could choose the look they liked.
I also have my factory rear deck, so except for the fron bumper, it could easily be put back to factory specs.
But I don't plan on ever selling mine.
I'm hoping rather to add to my Porsche collection.
