Take a look at your options sticker on the inside of the frunk lid. That'll tell you if the taco is factory or aftermarket. Mine is factory and does not move.

Oil pressure is fine. I show 4.5 bar at 3.5k rom in 6th gear. Drops to 1.75 bar at normal idle, and around 1.5 at hot idle.

 

Beautiful aero Porsche. Congrats on your purchase.

 

HA! Funny guy! I feel like your username reminds me of someone I know, but since I'm not 100% positive, I'll keep my regressions towards you to the side for now.

A little north of KBB excellent value, mind you from a dealership as well.




Also, thanks for all the information and kind words everyone. Excited to hold on to it for a long time and slowly chip away and things here and there.

 

Thanks! I'm going in the garage to install a headunit in a few minutes here so I'll take a look and see what it says. The dealer sticker definitely says "air activated spoiler", so interested to see what it's supposed to be.

The oil pressure threw me off, I hadn't looked until the drive home that I noticed the oil change sticker said 5w30 and that could have been a cause. Knowing yours is stable in the same shown range is more comforting.

 

As far as what you paid for that pristine example of a 996, it doesn't matter if you paid a lot over "book or current pricing".

As long as you are happy, that's all that matters.

Many of us here on these forums pay more for what we want.

Outstanding car!

 

It was definitely on the high side, but completely worth it. The only thing I wish it had was ebony interior, but since that's all I've ever had, the beige is a nice change on the weekends.

Appreciate the kind words!

 

You may want to look into getting some factory red seat belts, I saw one last year at WGI with Guards Red over Savannah it was really nice.

 

IMSB takes precedent over seat belts, but will keep it in mind for the future.

 

"XAA" on the sticker will indicate the factory Aerokit.
