That looks pretty enticing, even though I'm not the biggest fan of 996.1s. Worth doing due diligence on, certainly.

Yeah, so I don't really know my right and left...

Heck of a deal. Seller says they're widebody fitment. Said he'd even take $1400.

This guy has had this posted for probably 6 months now. It's a good deal if there's a bag with $20k in the trunk.

Pretty nice aero kit 99' stick with 55k or so in that dark blue color (lapis?). Needs some engine work though it says.

I think that makes the 4th time it has made this thread. That has to be approaching a record.

Can we make a new rule that the person that posts a car for the 10th time is required to purchase it?

I'm in!

Correct color, tip, cab, hardtop and stand.

There's a Batmobile - er, customized 911, on eBay currently: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-911-...m=182026592522

You too could own this car which is "simulated" to exceed speeds of 240MPH! Because who doesn't want to go 240MPH in a cabriolet?

BIN of $120k? I think the paint has a serious off gassing problem!

I might go look at this tomorrow.

There are 2 things I see from that pic.

The first is that it looks like the paint is messed up on the rear quarter panel around the light and c-pillar. Hopefully it's just a trick of the light and reflections. If the paint is messed up, I'm told it is expensive to repair due to the high cost of the paint itself and blending it is apparently a PITA and a half.

The second issue is that those are not the factory wheels. The factory wheels where "glossy" turbo look wheel (basically the same wheel, but in a chrome-like finish). This is why the center caps don't match as they are for the original wheels. Most people don't like the glossy wheels, but on a numbered car completeness is king and a replacement set isn't cheap (even used are expensive as there are so few out there).

No mention of the front though. As the ME is a C4, that's something to look at and make sure that the tread isn't too dissimilar or the brand/model tires differ between front and rear. If either is true, walk away as that makes "The car has always been garaged and taken very good care." a lie.

You are always supposed to change your front and rear tires at the same time on an AWD car, but many (myself included) subscribe to the belief that as long as the fronts aren't worn down much then just replacing the rears is fine. In 70k, however, our fronts have always been worn down enough that we've had to do all 4 at once.

Dissimilar tread wear/diameters or mismatched brand/model tires can cause premature wear and failure of the AWD system.

Thanks. I noticed the paint anomaly but put it down to weird reflection. The wheel issue is important. For a numbered car, anything not leaving the factory is going to be an issue(unless one doesn't care about the provenance).

I'm actually not that interested in the ME version but I was doing a search for C4S type cars and this came up. However, it is not a C4S so, that's another mistake he made, although likely on purpose.
