Default FS Feeler: 996 Turbo S, Black, Techart Wheels

Car has 62k miles and is used as a daily driver. I've never tracked it. Rear tires were done in the last few weeks. Fronts will be due next time rears are done. Clutch was replaced at about 55k miles. Brake fluid is fresh. Car is well maintained. CPO warranty expires August 2011.

I have yet to meet a passenger who can continue speaking when I go WOT. I think the speech center of their brains get compressed, and their tongues get mashed against the backs of their throats. Speech becomes impossible until I let off the gas. Always good for a laugh.

Asking $65k. But honestly not sure if I can part with it. This has been my favorite car so far, and I confess I'm a bit emotionally attached.

Mods:
• Performance Software
• Bilstein PSS9 Coil-Over Suspension System -- I have the stock suspension as well
• Techart Formula GT Wheels
• Techart Spacers (20mm rear; 15mm front)
• Sachs Stage II Clutch Kit and Dual Mass Flywheel (installed 55k miles)
• mObridge iPod Integration Kit
• mods4cars remoteTOP
• MASHAW GT2 Carbon Fiber Wing Blade
• Techart-Style Turbo Intake Splitters
• EVO No-Logo Aluminum Pedals - I might take these with me
• Porsche Silver Hood Crest - I'd take this with me as a good luck charm, but it's pictured, so I should be upfront about it
• Clear Side Markers
• BumperPlugs
• Porsche Crest Valve Stem Caps with Sleeves
• Premier Paint Protection Film - full bumper, hood, front fenders, rocker panels, mirrors

Before Spacers:


With Spacers:

If Darth Vader had a car, that's what it would look like!

Stunning.

A terrific car with many great features. I have always struggled to sell my toys and some much more than others. I don't know what your future plans are but to replace this car will be difficult. GLWS.

Aaahhhh, that sticker brings back memories. Seriously too nice to pass on.

Do what I did, make your family promise to bury you in it.

You will regret it if you sell. As someone said earlier, I also have a hard time selling my toys.

Yeah, I really have mixed feelings about this. For those who've expressed curiosity about why I would consider selling: I'm looking at a new 997.2 GT3 or used 997.1 GT2. And even though there are some really good things about the 997s, I'd still miss my 996. I can't decide.

Nope. Both outside pics are in Windemere in San Ramon.
