Default 996TT in Reno...any thoughts

Hello everybody,
Found a 996TT in Reno that Im looking at purchasing

http://www.sierraclassics.com/detail...d-7547579.html

Anyone have any knowledge of this car?

Also, the dealership told me it has a GT2 interior with roll bars in the back seats??
Can this be removed? and what is it exactly??

Thanks,
Jon

The front spoiler at the air inlet on the passenger side seems to be damaged.

The used car lot is just making crap up. It looks like a TT with a roll bar without a cross member.... so...

Assume everything the dealer says is wrong or is a lie. Find a shop to do a PPI, maybe ask a friend/member to do a driveby, focus on bodywork... then fly out and drive it, buy it. Drive home or truck it.

How many owners?

The car has had 4 owners.
Definitely having a PPI done on Monday, then plan to fly out pending the results of the PPI.

Good luck

It is impossible to tell anything about the metallic paint in these pics, it all seems to match in the pics of the nose from the side.

Call Reno Rennsport for the PPI. They are in Sparks about 10 minutes away from this dealer. Excellent shop!
