Not sure if Jake is at liberty to share details but would be cool to see what's happening with that. It was quite a thread!
Its in queue here.. I'm not sharing any other details until the seller decides to show his hand. Gotta save the best for last.

At the end of the day they were base $75k+ new from the showroom floor. They were never cheap cars and the performance has always been prevalent. Similar to other elder Porsche's that caught grief, those owners that sold 10 years ago now are saying "oh man if only I had held on to my such and such.....".

My purchase wasn't for an investment, but because it was an awesome deal for an awesome car that I never expected to have in the garage. If it appreciates, which time will only tell, would just be cream cheese icing on the voluptuous red velvet cake this ownership has been.

I can't believe that kind of money was spent and nobody publicly got the IMS clarified...."the shop in Florida confirmed it was the LN Kit"....which LN kit? Solution or retrofit? 57k miles and the car only has 60k, but was it done in 2006 or 2018??? This one sat for way too long for this kind of money.....was driven less than 2k miles in 14 years.

I've been stocking up on some cars that I think will go up in value. I am buying the ones that are in need of a lot of work right now. Preparing to buy the nice ones when the economy takes a turn for the worse. I don't want to it to turn bad, but I can't see how it won't.
