Default 996 Tip coupe for sale in Nashville. 125K $19,499.00

I'm a 993 guy, but saw this on the Nashville Craigslist and thought I would post over here. Don't know anything about the car, just surfing Craigslist. Sounded cheap to me if it's all serviced.

I’d be a little leery about this car. Why would the leather have been replaced?

Don't know. Just posted. Althgough the guy he had do the service is the "GO TO GUY" for anything Porsche. Not that it makes the car a good deal or a good car. I know absolutely nothing about a 996.

^^Rhetorical question, not really directed at you. From your original post I assumed you were not affiliated with the seller.

No problem at all Dream Carrera. Just didn't want anyone to think I knew the car or I was schilling. Over on the 993 board they are calling the car at 15K, But we are known to be a little bias. I like all 911's

Default hi-mile 996

Arena993,

What's your question or point about this?

High mileage 996 tips are like high mileage 993 tips, only more so.

It's way over-priced.

Too bad it seems the air cooled guys can be so unjustified and harsh. Seriously the 996 is an amazing platform, especially from gen 11 onward. I have been in plenty of 993's and don't get the perspective viewed on that thread. In fact from a looks and performance perspective I would take my c4s each and everyday. That said I love all porsches, unfortunate the community does not seem to be exactly that.

I don't know how you can take my comments as unjustified or harsh. I was just posting over here in case anyone was interested. As I said earlier I like all 911's. If I misunderstood your post, my apologies.

Like the color but a TIP not sure if a good deal. I have seen 2 manual transmission Coupes sell under $20k with slightly less miles.
