Also there is a small dent on the fender lip drivers side. Visible in the picture I posted above. Also drivers side bolster shows a lot of cracks.

Transmission leak is probably pentosin from a bad accumulator and/or slave.. Spoiler up might indicate bad ram cylinders. That cinnamon interior doesn't look nearly as good in pictures as I thought it might.
Add in the carfax blem and possible accident history, and IMHO it's definitely not a steal when you bake-in ram repair/replacement, slave cyl & accumulator, and the other things surely also needing attention if both of those items were never repaired.
Still, it's getting harder and harder to find anything decent under $45K, and the GT3 wheels are a plus (though not on the build sheet).

Not sure if these are considered “deals” as per this thread, but they are local to me via craigslist. Not sure if anyone has looked at these or has any more info.
Dealer 03 Black 47k miles 6 speed at $47,9k, maybe HRE Wheels or knockoffs, but looks decent. CF interior package. It says new arrival but I swear it’s been listed for a few weeks.
https://phoenix.craigslist.org/ctd/d...529668390.html
private party 02 seal gray 60k miles 6 speed manual listed at $44,9k seems to have been listed for a bit so may have room to negotiate. Vin shows in second to last picture.

Ninja edit:01 on eBay with only 25k miles, current bid is $43k with bin at $52

On the PPI front, a couple of thoughts...
Sure, a thorough and top quality PPI is ideal, but:
.
If you want to be even more thorough, get yourself a durametric to check for codes and overrevs and a semi-inexpensive paint meter to check for panel resprays (or learn how to spot them by eye), and you can do a more thorough PPI yourself in 30-60 minutes right in the sellers driveway than many PPI's I've seen...

- Cash on the spot will get often get you a car that you might otherwise miss out on... Case in point above.
- PPI scheduling is a often a pain, especially this time of year as good P-car shops are BOOKED...
- PPI quality and thoroughness really varies, especially with their knowledge of issues highly specific to the 996 turbo...
- Even with a PPI, your going to find things after purchase that were missed by the PPI, you can't avoid all risk with or without a PPI.

I do wonder why it hasn't sold already, but f it's as clean as it looks in the pictures and relatively issue free and I was local and looking, I would be over there today checking it out.

Found this car the other day and thought it would be worth posting.

Anyway, not saying I wouldn't do a PPI again if need arises, but it doesn't completely mitigate risk.

Bought my turbo 4 months ago sight unseen after several conversations with the seller. Gained enough confidence, and sent a check out of state. It could have been a nightmare, I know.. But it wasn't. Full disclosure, haven't found a single thing that wasn't pointed out up front. Couldn't be happier with the purchase. It was a deal, and I knew I had to move or it would go after it got some internet traction. It was only listed on C-list at the time.
Anyway, not saying I wouldn't do a PPI again if need arises, but it doesn't completely mitigate risk.
