It is your OP, after all.

Just not a big fan of the ones that appear to be outright scams:

PLEASE DISREGARD THE THREE LAST PICTURES THAT I ADDED BY MISTAKE WHICH ARE NOT FROM THE CORRECT VEHICLE I REQUESTED THESE PICTURES FROM MY MECHANIC THE LAST TIME MY CAR WAS OVER THERE AND HE SENT ME PICTURES OF ANOTHER VEHICLE BY MISTAKE I WILL GO HOME TO MY CAR AND TAKE MORE INTERIOR PICTURES AND REVISE THEM AGAIN. I CONTACTED E BAY AND UNFORTUNATLEY THOSE PICTURES CAN NOT BE REMOVED .

Yup. This one's pretty sketchy, even if his story was true.

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.

did anybody ever check this car out or talk to the owner? Seems like a nice driver. Looks to be in good condition for the miles.

Low miles, lets see where the price goes..... The GT3 wheels are original to the car per VIN Decoderz.

sorry I just did a quick flip thru on my cell.
Atleast they aren’t sofas unless my eyes have totally gone. 😊

The driver side spoiler ram looks to be leaking, but maybe it's the exposure. Passenger side ram not shown.

The white 2003 is also a prestige thread car. And well worth that asking price.

WOW is right. The $57K asking price is realistic, that car will sell FAST....

I agree that is what most common color 30-50k cars go for.

It's white on Natural Brown Leather (peanut butter sandwich)

Super desirable, IMO.

very hard to find in a 6spd for a white on brown. I'm not sure if that's natural brown or not though. I forget the other name of the brown that is close in color to that.
