Yeah we discussed it already (no US MkI GT3s and no such thing as a 996 GT3RS so not sure what it is a tribute too). Based on the (outrageous) price its still the same person trying to sell it.

I agree and think it maybe a great price. Almost too great actually. I'd wanna check the undersides for any advanced corrosion and check the bores since he does live up in Canada.

Those are not stock GT2 wheels. For that price I would make sure the OEM GT2 wheels come with it. However those 19" Champion's(lighter than GT2 wheels) are the shiz as well. Yes lowered.

Curious, what are the worst states to buy a Porsche from?... meaning, when climate effects on the car.

gnat

They are pretty well treated from the factory so corrosion isn't much of a worry even in the salt loving states (unlike buying an e30 ).

Really bore scoring being more likely due to cold temps in areas that see near or below freezing temps is the only climate based issue I can think of that is remotely common.

What y'all think about these? It's an Aero kit...

It's the body that's only galvanized from the factory. Not the mechanical parts. If you DIY, you're not gonna want to fight every frozen bolt here and there when working on the car.

Personally, the best states are the states that hasn't had any major flooding and moderate temps like CA, GA, TN, KY, etc.

I love the wheels. They are the right color everything. I agree with B3freak. Oh shiz, did I just say that?:P

First one doesn't have a horn or airbag which may be an issue to some owners or states that have road worthy tests.

Second one is a frankenstein wanna-be-mk2 from a mk1. Not sure if there's any hidden damage or how well the conversion was carried out. Plus it's way too high.

Not too thrilled with color unless you wanna pay tribute to Prince. Also too much for a base model essentially. The hottest thing on that car is the silver/white dials.

That one sounds like a good deal. The fact that the owner put on Michelin Pilot Sports would seem to indicate that he gives a damn about maintaining it well possibly.

Can you tell it's a Friday and I'm going through all the motions of being at work?

What do you guys think about this:

The first one doesn't seem bad, but for that price I'd want it to come with the original steering wheel and airbag. Might be a tad high if the odometer value listed is missing 3 zeros.

The second one I wouldn't touch, especially for the price. There is a lot of work required for a MkI -> MkII face lift. Was it done right? Also not a fan of NB cars with the 4S treatment as it just ends up looking strange. What's with the wear on the top of the steering wheel? Doesn't look right for the milage.

This was a member here and he picked it up recently IIRC. If you search around, I'm sure you can find his postings here.

My wife would love you if I walked upstairs and said "do you want to go to Calvert Cliffs this weekend", so if you are interested in that one and can convince the owner to meet us at the cliffs I'd rennfax it for you. You better be serious though as I fvcking hate hiking, the beach, and having to go through PG county...
