160k miles, awesome GT1 lights, most reliable year for 996, etc. But holy hell what a deal! Why wouldn't you at that price - for a track toy if nothing else!
For everyone who was gushing over $10k being cheap for 99, here is your chance to put your money where your mouth is. There were at least two posters saying that they would buy high mileage 99 for 10k cash just because it was a steal. Play ball.
Heck, if it wasn't halfway across the country I would take it for a PPI, and upon getting a clean bill of health I'd buy that without a second thought.

I have a different view on this car Ryan.
The 16 year old car with 160k miles will be far from perfect, so PPI will obviously find a list of things "wrong with it"; which makes the PPI pointless in this case.
If the car runs well, engine sounds fine, it goes through gears and clutch isn't slipping you give the man $10k and drive away. In worst case scenario you are out $6k. If you can't risk $6k on this car and need a PPI, I don't believe this is the car for you.
This is the 911 you buy to beat the **** out of, not baby and maintain long term. You can clutch dump it, over rev it cold, park it in walmart parking lot, drive it off road, drive it in the snow, drive in 2 feet of water and not worry about it breaking. If it breaks, you dump it for $4k and you are out $6k, period. If this car lasts even 8 months of abuse, you got your money's worth out of it and you can keep on beating on it until it quits; when it quits, dump it for $4k.

This listing is for a 2002 Porsche 911 with a blown engine due to an IMS failure (very common in Porsches from 1999-2008). It also needs a repaint and it has a couple of dings on the drivers side (some tile fell on the car, long story). The windshield is cracked and needs replacement as well. The transmission is perfect and this car was always reliable and ran great until the sudden IMS failure. This car can be fixed with under $10,000 and you'll have a Porsche with a brand new engine and paint job and many factory options plus upgrades. There exists an IMS retrofit from LN Engineering that'll make the car bulletproof. If you are mechanically inclined, this is a great project car. It's also a great opportunity if you're looking to build a track car.
Here are the details:

I also had the center console painted in exterior color, calipers painted red with white Porsche logo, and more (overall this car has over $10,000 in tasteful mods)

I wouldn't be looking for it to be perfect, mainly just making sure it's got good compression and isn't hiding any major frame damage from an unreported accident. Drive it hard for 1-3 years and then either dump it, or send out the motor for a rebuild and start replacing bits and pieces.
I think that is also on Ebay, where he says it has a noisey first gear, hence the cheapness
That is 6ta1 from this board selling his 40th Nr. 0251. If you search his posts you'll find that he did an extensive thread on all the work done to that car. Lots of history for anyone interested in it.
