Yikes! A new clutch after just 12,000 miles....clutches don't need replacement because of age, do they? If not, I'd suspect abuse elsewhere, and lots of it. ??

Probably just changed it out when they did RMS and Solution. Mine only had 25k miles on it, clutch was still fine, but they had it apart so I had it replaced anyways.

My guess it will be over this by a fair amount. It does include the luggage which will definitely boost the price, but my gut tells me someone will pay a lot more for the 7k mile car when they could have just bought this one.

For anyone curious, this is my local dealer and they are heavily involved in the PCA. I normally don't go to bat for dealers but I will for them. I'm happy to check the car out for anyone looking to buy it.

Ha! I didn't even notice the BaT thing. Must have been subliminal, but it doesn't help I am on there every day.

It's a 12/98 build. Ambers were gone by 8/98 I do believe

No. The Litronics were not ready for production when the 996 was released.

Someone swapped. Ambers were gone by mid-late 98 production

You didn't drive it right. Keep it in Vtec 6000-9000 rpms, not underpowered. Heck, my 996 needs some time to spool up too.

Had an RSX-S with a 75 shot back in the day. Hitting VTEC was ridiculously good fun. Still miss that car.

Yup: Amber lenses early-build dates were 11/97 - 08/98. Every car built after that date (09/98 and later) was clear lenses.

Someone must have swapped them if an '01 came with them. Mine is a 5/99 build and came with clears.
