C4S on BAT auction
#31
Alright, someone is thinking just because someone was able to get close to $37k for their C4S off BAT, they could unload their 55k mile TT for probably $60-70k.

Let's see where this ends up. Clearly most of us were off the mark on the first one.

I like the color combo and I will be out in SFO in a few weeks...
Seriously though, WTF is it with the mismatched tires? Bad juju there...

One BIG red flag though is the owner didn't point the Porsche center cap correctly on the rims. This will drastically reduce the pool of proper enthusiast buyers. LOL.

So if pinning indeed requires the motor to come out, why not bite the bullet and get them welded to be done with it?

Maybe I just don't know enough about the actual process, but from what little I've read you have to have the engine out to do either the pin or weld approach and the pin approach doesn't stop the failure, just makes it less catastrophic.

I think we need more spice around here. There's been way to many technical threads lately where people are actually helping each other out. Need to fix that quick

Update: The Turbo closed yesterday at $45k. Kinda ironic that it only fetched 8k more than the C4S. The price difference is even less than a price for aftermarket turbo kit.

Guys for what it's worth the shop that did the LN install on the car in the original post is a RL sponsor as well as being the shop that has maintained all 3 of my porsches for around 15 years. They do great work and are perfectionists.
Don't know if that is the way that bearing is supposed to look or even if they really installed it... But it's a great shop that only works on Porsche and BMW.... And the owner is himself a track junkie and a lurker here.

I guess folks have decided that it's okay to sell 996's on BAT now...

Ok...so on the inspection and work sheets I see at least two references concerning water pump leaking and don't see any documentation that water pump was changed even though the drive belt was...? Maybe I missed it on the sheets as they are hard to read.

thats why it's on auction - unless it is a pristine collector car with history, buying at an auction has to be one of the laziest/stupidest things a buyer can do.
