Bought my latest Turbo off CL in Greenwich, CT from a retired NYC Lawyer. Safest transaction ever, and amazing car. Not the cheapest deal but Speed Yellow manual Turbos don’t come up every day, not even on BaT. Shudder to think what it would have cost there 🥺😱🤑
Optionman that’s why I bought it but it was setup for Florida not Brooklyn I actually lifted it about 1.2 inches since delivery and I still have to remove the lip to get in the storage driveway
That must be borderline un-drivable on NYC roads, looks amazing though. I really have begun to love white 911s. Hope to meet up someday, maybe a RL NY/NJ/PA group meet.
I sold a C2 on BaT last year and not one person came in person to see the car. I was shocked. Couple FT video calls, and lots of contact but the car sold without being seen in person at all.
FWIW at least on BaT there is “time” to see & PPI the car if desired. These days I call on cars and they’re already sold first day they hit the website.
PPI, test drives, etc.. are now relics. And the truth is if you’ve got DME, cam deviations, leakdown, oil analysis, & service history then sophisticated buyers feel secure.
Not sure how that all stacks up against actually driving the car.
IE QUESTION: If mutually exclusive, which would YOU rather have: a test drive or all that data??

I would love to meet the gruppe it’s also my first white car ever
actually the car rides amazing even at the dropped level if the lip wasn’t scraping the ground I wouldn’t of lifted it
my purchase was also long distance no video call bought all done by text brave but dumb idea thank god the seller was trustworthy

I've been on the hunt for a manual Speed Yellow 996 for a while. They are definitely hard to come by. You made the right choice! haha
typical craigslist scam probably. giveaways are just a few random photos and price thats too good to be true
Still worth checking out if you're local and interested. When I got my C4S, the guy I bought it from said that a few people contacted him just to accuse his CL ad of being a scam because the price was too good to be true. Jokes on them for not taking the time to check it out because I got a steal.
