I like this line in the ad, guy is straight up: Please expect normal patina on the interior and exterior which includes wear on seats - rock chips etc. This is an affordable driver - not a PCA concours winner.
I've seen several cars on their site that have interested me and they typically have reasonable prices. Last October I planned to stop there on my way home from vacation to look at a car but it had sold during vacation week. It turned out okay because I found my 99 on Craigslist the following week!

Yes. Yes you should have many. (me too)

Mostly looking to see keep a pulse on the market should I want to sell. Happy to share deals I find for the benefit (bank acct detriment?) of the community.
Even though I just bought my 996 I still have a saved Craigslist search just so I can keep an eye on the market.

But it's a turbo with relatively low mileage and a 6sp manual.

If it’s not a sub-$15K aero car with low miles and a complete service history, most cheapskates on this thread are quick to poo poo it. This is one of the better priced turbos I’ve seen lately, nice job finding and sharing it!

So helping other find the possible "smoking deal" makes us cheapskates?

Not necessarily, but I did refer to “most” not “all”. Smoking deals aren’t as prevalent as they seem to have been since this thread was introduced.

Respectfully completely disagree. I've been introduced to some bargains from this thread, and I know of several sales of bargain 996s as a direct result of this thread. I check this thread several times a week, just to find my cheapskate deal. If I don't buy it, doesn't mean I'm not shopping. I seriously doubt this thread has been populated with overpriced cars, however I have seen reference to some BaT cars that I found were not what I call a 'find', but I let it slide.
