Hmmm.. It has PCCB. My guess is he A) found out it needs a brake job and B) what those bastards cost!

What's with the front spoiler being multi colored?

Probably turbo damage or a clueless owner that got really scared off by coolant pipe issues and just wants to unload it before it blows up his motor.

I'm not sure I even want to know how much those cost. I can imagine it approaching five figures for a brake job.

Exhaust tips also look to be a bit crooked, now that I look at it again.

The ad says that he's running steel rotors, so he's already bitten that particular bullet.

Follow at your own risk, but it's not so much "approaching" as trying to find it in your rear view mirror...

They are supposed to be good for 80k or so if I remember correctly. This car is about 70k...

Do they get saggy on the TT like they do with the M96 when new motor mounts are needed?

gnat

Ahh. Then WTF does he advertise PCCB for?

OK, I see how I missed it. He says it has PCCB in the first line. Then later he says it has PCCB, but follows that with it not really having PCCB anymore

The second sentence negates the first...

If he took off the rotors before they got too pitted you are good to go. It's easy to do and preserves the resale. They are capable of 150k+ if you treat them right and always change the pads at around 50% wear.

And don't track with them. Apparently tracking burns through them FAST from what I've read.

Ouch. You could buy another clean 996 for that money. There is a 2 year, unlimited mileage warranty on them though. Wonder if you can get enough track use in to get a second set for free in that time period.

Looks like it's wet in the picture? Seems like a pretty solid deal, almost suspiciously so... listed in charlotte craigslist, but is WAY up in roanoke, VA

clean carfax no accidents... Someone needs to be movin' on up outta this 996 NA forum

alpine003

Not so fast Ace. I don't know how I first missed this but this is a VERY BIG red flag.

Slakker

Not to mention he claims his rotors are made out of steel when obviously they are made out of cast iron. Asshat.

That is a fair asking price for the car. The 04TT I was looking at before the C4S started out around this price point. It was a cab, X50, TipS. More miles. Got a sketchy PPI (~$10k worth of work) so I passed. The TT's are pricey to maintain. BTW, it looks like the front splitter in aftermarket.

Seems reasonable to me...
