After reading the 15 previous posts I think the owner should pay you $2k to tow it to the dismantlers for him.

After speaking with him i got him down to $17,200. We also discussed saying the purchase price would be less, to pay less to Uncle Sam.

- No pictures of the accident

- i have the ability to do the brake job in my garage with a good friend. Pricing on pelican parts being the most competitive i have seen so far for Zimmerman rotors front and rear total $526.50

- I get a wholesale discount through a very good friend over at a local Porsche shop who can get me Hawk HPS pads at 30% off. Front and rear pads total $188 plus 2 liters of ATE $30.

So my total brake job will be $745. Add into the mix Stainless Steel lines $70, $815 plus tax.

Very beautiful C2 Aero. Wish you luck with purchasing and shipping it.

We have a selection of brake components for the C2.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to PM me. Can't wait to see some more pics when you get your 996!

Wow, aero kit car for under 20k. You did pretty good. Do you have sport seats in yours? Seems like most of the 99 that had the aero option also had sport seats when I was looking awhile ago.

True Aero Package, Upgraded 18in Sport Classics, Sport seats, Upgraded Sound, Carbon Hand Brake & Shift ****, Stainless Door Sills, Black Interior & Exterior. The only thing she is missing is litronic's, 3 spoke wheel.

However, she is going under a full maintenance overhaul with some very nice upgrades
