seemed they were shady/flakey and putting you thru a lot of BS regarding the title - didn't realize you got title - congrads - my comment about color was a joke to make light of your not getting car - glad you have title and new car to cruise in!

How else do you think you could afford a 996TT. Price definitely showed the quality there...

Yeah, the sad part is your GPIMSB is worth more than my entire car.

Congrats on the car, good to hear it all came though.

Interesting you should mention the clutch being very heavy, mine started to feel like that because it needed to be replaced or maybe you're not used to it yet!

Anyway, enjoy!!

Sadly, I'm out of town fixing the internet. If you are in NC or VA and your internet is effed up, sorry I'll have it going in a few hours.

Yep, mine too, except it is 5 mph regardless of how fast I am going, does not seem to be a percentage.

Post 7 is pictures of the actual car. He snagged them from the ad placed for purchase. It was on autotrader. Since the car VIN was posted to the public already, not much sense in trying to hide it now.
