Ad text:San Francisco - High-Mileage 2001 911 Turbo Coupe - 6-speed, Strong Compression
A gorgeous, early-build 996 Twin-Turbo finished in Lapis Blue Metallic. Aside from the GT2, these cars topped out the 996 range when they hit showroom floors, and the current enthusiast owner upgraded lots of components to keep pace with harder-edged, newer 911s.
Along with a GT2 clutch and GT2 exhaust, it wears gorgeous 996 GT3 rims which hide upgraded 997 Turbo brakes. In stock form, this car produced 415 horsepower from its 3.6-liter turbocharged flat-six, and AWD delivered a 0-60 time of just under 4.0 seconds. Expect even better results from this improved example.
The cosmetics look really nice on this car, with minimal leather creasing, even on the driver's site bolsters. The owner even sourced a Carrera GT key to pair to this car, which is a super rare (and expensive) touch.
And despite its nearly 125k miles, the car looks to have a clean bill of health, with no more than 3% variance between cylinder compressions.
Advertised at $33.5k from a 10-year owner, this car is the performance bargain of the century. See photos below.

If that car was cobalt blue over metropol, I'd have to go buy it and sell my car.

Seems too good to be true. Unless salvage title.

Nicely priced, the back end scares me a little....
too many rodeos?

Possibly, but it really depends on the overall condition. A few months back I looked at that low mileage high option gray Cab in SF that was listed for $40K. It was a cosmetic mess, both inside and out. It sold quickly @ $40K, but most of us would have passed given the Rennfax I provided.
If anyone actually sets eyeballs on this 'Texas' car please post your observations, it would very interesting to hear how clean or not so clean it is...

I found the actual car - it's in GA. I notified the seller of the scam listing. Craigslist is pretty good at taking bogus ads down, so here it is for posterity.
