Due to an unfortunate confluence of events, I will be selling my 996. '
I simply do not have the time to properly care for the car. Not having a garage exacerbates the problem. It's time to pass the car along.

I'm essentially the 2nd owner, 2 brothers from CT bought the car new in 1999, and have all service records from new plus the window sticker. The car now has ~43k miles

I've addressed a number of issues and I've know of a couple that still need to be dealt with:

• Things that have been addressed:
  • replace brake booster, brake master cylinder, brake light switch, coolant expansion tank
  • new rotors, pads, wear sensors
  • FSI Stage I
    • 3.4l to 3.6l
    • CP pistons
    • dynamic race-level balancing
    • high performance ignition coils
    • clutch, pressure plate, pilot bearing
    • water pump
    • IMS Solution
  • UAOS (working with Skip on warning light issue)
  • new engine mounts, transmission mount, engine oil level sensor, and clutch slave cylinder
  • new front seat belt buckles (ABS light)
  • Antigravity model AG-H6-40-RS 1500 CCA
  • New Summer tires, winter tires have 3 seasons on them
• Remaining issues:
  • 4-wheel alignment needed
  • HVAC Foam
  • bump stops disintegrating
  • refresh suspension

I plan to get the wheel alignment done but I'm thinking of leaving the suspension related issues for the next owner (I'm not having any problems that I know. The top is in good condition and everything works.

I would like to get $35k. Do you think this is reasonable?

John,
Looks like you have addressed all the issues, so $35K seems fair. We all have the damn foam problem. Post some pictures. Are you a CVR PCA member? We have a coffee run coming up July 8.

Do you have the hard top?

Yes, with stand and cover

and the following:

• Winter tires mounted on staggered turbo look wheels
• Durametric
• New California Car cover SuperWeave cover
• New headlight seals
• bits and bobs

From all the work you've had done, 35k seems like a steal. Is the body/interior in good shape..?

Why sell a sorted out 996 like you've got..? Very possibly car will be worth lots more in the not so distance future with the FSI upgraded engine.
