The pictures on top of the mountains with the snowcaps in the background definitely make me think you made the right choice putting the original wheels back on. So clean!

Congrats on the car! How have you been liking it so far? I love the way the turbo twists look on Porsches. Just my opinion. Have you warmed up to them yet? Maybe a nice new color would sway your judgment...

If you want to meet up one day and do a test fit, you're more than welcome to.

Yeah I don't understand the hate on the twists, I think they look just right.

Car is for sale...

I unexpectedly came across a car I cannot pass up to buy. Sadly this perfect 996 C4S must go. I'll have an ad up soon.
Installed H&R lowering springs, Bilstein B8 struts/shocks, lowered/aligned with new set of Bridgestone Tires a few weeks ago.

This is a needs nothing car, and probably one of the nicest in existence $41,995 obo

PM me if you are interested.

My friend has test driven (8) C4's in the last month, but unfortunately he isn't willing to go that high in price for an N/A 996....

Hope you get what you are asking, but if you do a price drop feel free to PM me. We are also Colorado Porsche owners...

So you kept it all of 6 weeks huh? I have a hard time believing this is priced 5k over dealer trade-in. Flipping for a quick profit? Not accusing, just asking.

What a gorgeous car. Good luck!

Clean, low-mile C4S cars are definitely creeping into 996TT range now, price-wise. The widebody stuff is just worth more.
