Parting with my guards red low mileage turbo.
Reluctantly parting ways with my 2003 guards red 996 turbo. I bought the car from Ray Joseph (RPM Sports Cars, Houston) in April 2007 with 6,542 on the clock. The present mileage is 26,555. The "Little Red Car" is in excellent condition inside and out. Car is fitted with the turbo power kit 450 HP X50 engine package ($17,880] and Turbo Aero kit ($7980). Total price of the car was $147,185 with sports seats and full leather interior with 18" wheels with colored crest wheel caps. The windows were tinted at RPM Sports Cars and 3M film was installed at the same time on the hood, wings and wing mirrors. A comprehensive log of work performed and service maintenance carried out has been kept from 12/19/2006 to the present. Around 10,000 miles ago I changed the wheels to the present red 19" rims with Vredestein Ultra Sessanta tires, the OE 18: hollow spoke wheels and colored caps come with the car as does Adrian Streather's "996 Porsche - The Essential Companion". Asking price $59,950.

Nice car. Should be able to bring somewhere in the 50s for sure. I would get rid of the (cheap?) aftermarket wheels and off brand tires - I think you will attract more buyers by presenting it as completely stock. GLWS!

Beautiful car! I agree that the aftermarket wheels detract from the attractiveness of the vehicle and you would be better off putting the factory wheels on for the sale of the car.

Like everyone said, stock wheels looks so much better. I smh every time I see after market on a 996tt. Porsche designers have gone iteration after iterations of design concepts for the car internally. Pretty sure one of this after market design was accounted in the concept wheel design.

Buyers currently appear to be very fickle with pricing as it pertains to milage. Even though 26k miles is very low for a 15 year old car 996TT collector buyers seem to consider sub 15k mile cars as the premium collector pieces.
At the price listed this car is priced to sell.
