This will be interesting. Factory Aero parts but not factory equipped according to the options sticker. Plus the headlight covers. Mine had them - first thing I removed. They were 3M glued to the headlights so I had to replace the whole assembly. I wouldn't be surprised if those are attached in a similar fashion, despite what the seller says
I wouldn't touch that one with a ten foot pole.

Headlight covers are the worst not because of what they potentially do to the headlights, but for what they reveal about the previous owner

I hope it works out for that buyer. There’s an FB post where someone has had their car for 100 miles and already tearing the motor apart because it needs a rebuild.

That same post showed up here two days ago. Word-for-word. Poor guy.

Buy it Now for ONLY $40k!...
https://www.pcarmarket.com/auction/d...ari-cabriolet/

VS

Buy it Now for (a very realistic) $23k ... if the 'Fuchs' were 18" it would look so much better

I'm an originality guy and not typically fond of Fuchs on 996's, but this is really tastefully done. A lot of miles, but otherwise looks like a nice car (at a glimpse, didn't read the detailed description)

Was this the guy who bought the cab on BaT last year?

8k miles C4S sells for $70k on BaT
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...a-4s-coupe-27/

Super cool spec and in mint condition. The market may be trending down in general, but these gem examples still seem to do as good as ever.

Almost any "museum" car will find another high-paying buyer.

However, looking at the link is like a backward time warp to the days when the 996 was new.

70k for a like new 996 lol that’s cheap when considering other models with similar miles, condition and spec. It’s only 70k because like the seats it’s Porsches red headed step child.
