The car looked hideous anyway,
sorry. You will find a nice one and love every
minute of it.

The red center console is hideous. Just as bad as my yellow one.

I like yellow, it just personal opinion, that's all.

But the red one looked like those guys from West Coast Customs go ahold of the
interior...

Wow, I guess my Lapis Blue painted console is hideous too. Wonder why they painted it at the factory? Looks like I have to sell it now.

I've seen some of snoops personal automobiles.

Believe me, he would pass on that ugly red one for at least 2 reasons.

-tip (ghey)
-wood (crackaghey)

Personally, i like the wood in cars, but the wood wheel is way too much.

What you want to do is find one that you really like.

Personally, i like the two tone 996 interiors. that beige on the white car was a little much.

Whats the dark brown called - natural???

Well hopefully I found one this time. I am leaving now to go check it out. She is a 2002 996 turbo, Black on Black, and is supposed to be in mint condition.

I found a company in Los Angeles called velvet touch that does wheel repairs. Has anybody done business with them or do you have a wheel repair place that you can recommend?

Hey shane - I just bought a Seal grey/grey 2002TT Tip with 16,200 miles excellent condition for $79,000....Had the same CF except:had steering wheel/ no door handles, but came with Nav/Bose and HRE 235/315 setup, brand new rears. warranty was good until aug and I bought an extended through Porsche ($3000 for 4 years). You might be able to find a little cheaper, but if you love the car and the condition......

Thanks for the info. It seems like a pretty good deal to me. I am trying to find out the use tax before I pull the trigger. The guy that owns the car is the second owner and paid cash for the car. From what I understand I need to pay the use tax when I buy it also right? So if the car was sold 10 times for 79,000 each new owner would have to pay the full use tax? Am I missing something ??? Does anybody know what the use tax is for orange county california? Also how much is your california registration I thought I saw the price of $2300 on the registration card he showed me.

I am not trying to talk myself out of the car I just want to make sure I don't have any surprises. I already checked my insurance and the price did not go up much at all from what it is now.

As far as I know you always pay tax....I ended up leasing mine for tax reasons - easier to write off - California is one of the highest in terms of taxes.

The "use" tax is pretty much a sales tax. At 8.25%, it'll be around $6500.

I should have some good news and pictures in the next few days. I looked at a lot of cars and decided on one finally. Nothing is set in stone until the car is in my posession so once the keys are in my hands I will post some pictures and details.
