People like that are frustrating as hell. Like, are you trying to sell the car or not?

Did he name his price?

Speed yellow C4 (I think?), tip but full leather for $18k

Both high mileage, no affiliation.

I think it's a C2. C4 usually have Carrera 4 script on the door sills and I don't see the hump in the frunk

sublm8

Yep, you're correct.

Kinda a lot for a heavily modified/personalized E99 ?

It’s the option codes:

• 00501 – Special order color
• 09981 – Option from Porsche Exclusive Program
• 09991 – Option from Porsche Exclusive Program

Actually pretty well bought, would not take much to return to stock.

Nice car, but seems a bit high for a tip.
But XAA does add some too.
Maybe it is more inline than I think.
I’m surprised that tips don’t typically sell for more.
There are a lot of people who don’t know how to drive manuals, or choose not to.

Meh. Once you get into reverting the lights (they seem to be stock later halogens that were "smoked" and an HID kit retrofitted into), plus the gross LED fogs in the bumper that are clearly drilled in, and interior back to stock (who sticks a CARRERA sticker to the center stack ?) and undoing the large touch screen install, is it worth it ?

The more pixs I look at the worse it gets. WHO DRILLS AN AEROKIT BUMPER FOR LED FOG LAMPS

I don’t disagree but that’s prob why it didn’t go for more. Not to my taste either :P

market is nuts for anything sonderwunsch adjacent.

Easy to revert, and likely you can sell the upgrades for enough to almost pay for replacements.
Pretty easy to fixBatwings are cheap. I have a couple of spares. The sticker will probably come right off, just like the Porsche Key emblem near the shifter.
The weird mats have kept the carpet underneath is good condition.
I bet you can sell the mats on eBay for a chunk of change.
The touchscreen hopefully is not too tough to fix.
When these cars hit rock bottom, lots of them were not treated well.
This one wasn't treated too badly.
There are some things I would change, but overall it's a great starting point.

TexSquirrel

Yep, definitely a C2.

Are we forgetting about labor costs ? Now that the 996 is in the upper echelon I bet most buyers aren't DIYers like they were five six years ago. Idk. It all adds up to me. Esp for a 33k or whatever buy in plus fees.

What the heck are these lol

Overpriced mirror bras.

I have a Bra™️ on my Golf. Never seen one for a 996
