What are your thoughts on Fair Market Value?

they look like the car was owned by someone with a weight problem and extra rivets on his jeans. Maybe a fat guy who only wore True Religion Jeans and Affliction T-Shirts.

More trying to help a friend/co-worker sell it. If it wasn’t for the sales tax and other necessary post purchase costs I would consider buying it with the intent to flip it for a small gain. Then again I could easily become addicted to the tt and sell one of the 4s models, or given my history buy it and keep all 3. Lol

It can be mine for $60k which i think is a fair price given the current market.

Just like suddenly every 99 for sale suddenly has ambers, now every Turbo for sale is suddenly X50

VIN doesn’t lie and X50 cannot be “added by the dealer”

Not X50

I asked my friend for a photo of the frunk sticker and/or the original window sticker to resolve this anomaly. He’s owned this car for nearly 15 years so I assume if he says it has the X50 he has proof. Is it possible Vinanalytics report is wrong? Time will tell and I will follow up here.

don’t wear that true religion bull sht. Levi’s stretch 42 by 30 special stretch fabric designed for fat boys. No they don’t come with tartar sauce , but they are often on sale at Kroger for $19..99 and I get my fuel points. Yes I know I’m getting calls to take part in orca 3.

I guess you missed the recent "X50" auction on BaT, and the associated commentary. Get PCNA to verify that X50. If not, or if anything other than dealer install at delivery, it's not worth X50 market prices. Even if dealer install, I'd adjust downward.

A good example that shows a build sticker and window sticker for a TT with X50

The only performance pack that was available for installation on 996 by franchise dealers was the original X51 for MKI Carrera that was never sold in the US

I was eating Gushers and drinking Capri Suns n Hi-C when the 996 was new but I find it hard to believe a dealer wouldn't happily take someone's money to put an X50 kit on after.
