Keep looking KC unless you are just smitten with it.

Way too much money has been put into that car to only ask 33, makes me suspicious. I've personally never been a fan of the Misha GT2 wing as it looks close, but seems to stand out as being wrong. The 997 front bumper also looks out of place as it makes the car look longer and out of proportion.

I'd be interested if it was a PTS car, but I'm too picky about color changes so that is a turn off for me too. Unless they did it right which would have cost close to what they are asking for the car...

As Schnelly recently said, I'd rather have a bone stock car and then do the changing myself. Then you know the standards it was done to and it entirely fits your tastes.

Color is cool, but I have to agree the front bumper looks out of proportion. Like a lot.

Love the color, but I too get weary about all the aftermarket work done to it. Move ahead with caution. I would have a body shop look at it in addition to a mechanic PPI.

Canadians / west coasters. Good opportunity to pick up a parts car. No affiliation, and no room to do it myself.

(this car was for sale a few months ago, and I recall the owner's ad mentioning a bunch of work done)

Well if the guy put a "GT3RS" badge in the back, a similiarly drugged out individual might think he's getting a deal and snap it up in an instant for $35k.

He doesn't list the miles (or I'm blind), so it probably has more than 5 miles on the clock which makes it a roller by 993 standards which explains the price.

Someone will either get a screaming deal on that car or a steaming pile.

Judging by the wear on the shift **** it's probably higher mileage, but considering this is located in the greater LA area the asking price is still pretty low. If they're flexible on the price and you get a thorough ppi...

Hmmm, last registration says Norfolk, VA, but he lists a 703 number which covers the DC area. If anyone is serious about it and he is in the DC area, I'm happy to try to put eyes on it for you if we can work it out. I can even take my Durametric along to check the over revs too.

The ebay ad shows Monterey, CA for the location.
