The exterior looks good, but the interior is a little rough looking!

Do you know where this car came from? This looks like one I looked at from Nevada over a year ago but then the guy had a GT3 emblem on the back...but it was SC'd and had the same tan interior...but only 8K miles on it. Anyone run a carfax on it? If it's the same car, it's had some serious track time on it.

The mileage and the seat wear don't match in my book. I think the wheels are no name but am not sure, and it's the wrong wing for the car. It's also a full leather vehicle which is nice though. They want $37K for it, and what does a low mileage 2000 MY 996 go for these days? I'm guessing mid 20's? You could buy the 3.4 superchager currently on ebay and get it installed for probably $7K all in and drop it into a car you buy locally and can trust. I'd call it an average deal but would worry about the cars past.

Like the wheels. Agree about the missing taco wing.

That wing looks great on that car... but I like correct year kits. Maybe this is a new engine. Though savanah beige has a tendency to get dirty fast if you dont clean it often... this car might be all original.

Looks good. I agree with the taco wing.

The big question is... What's wrong with it?

There's probably nothing wrong with it. But I mentioned the seats, they don't look like 18K miles seats to me, and Chuck thought it looked like a track car he's seen before. Unfortunately they don't give detailed pictures of the exterior to shown any scratches or nicks, etc. They're all kind of from far away. It's a good looking car that has some expensive options and add ons, but it also has a pretty premium price. With a PPI it could be a nice turn key car for someone.

Looks nice, I'm just not fond of tan interiors.

that car is from Louisiana and had tranny and RMS replaced multiple times - judging by mileage, it's probably due again

I don't think I'd buy any used car from MS or LA. How do you know this about the car? Simple carfax check?

Add to that list Houston, Galveston, etc.. (any coastal or near coastal town) - too many chances it's been affected by weather

Yes, I clicked the Carfax report and read about the trans. and RMS
