This seems decent if it checks out. 25k mile TT for 59k

That does look really nice.

But I do have some questions

I have had aluminum wheels refurbished on my 996 (have a couple of sets) as well as my Audis. All you need is an expert shop that specializes in it, and it sounds like you have one.

I'm just pointing out that deals can still be found if you're quick as I said before

Be an interesting one to watch. The final price will tell us if the modified cars from "big-name" tuning shops are in demand.

This calls into question if a 996 Carerra with a rebuilt engine by LN, FSI, Hartech or another reputable engine builder will fetch a higher price. I suspect over time it will, but have nothing to base it on.

I've seen modified BMWs from big name companies like Alpina/Hartge/Dinan sell for big bucks there so I think the 996 will follow.

Logically, since a rebuild will cost between 20-30k, and eventually all 996s will need a rebuild, it would make sense to pay a premium knowing you will have another 20+ years of operation. But what about a rebuild by a reputable engine builder that also boosts performance by 80-100 HP? Should be even more.

Whatever you do keep those wheels with that car. That’s a six-figure+ hand you’re holding right there. 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
huh? The 2002 mys are lighter
