I don't believe there has been an Oxford Green M5 on BAT yet. I would go there, or put it on M5 board. Unicorn colors do well, especially if you have addressed the '00's "quirks".

That M5 and the silver TT w/ GT3 wheels both look awesome (and like good values).

This one looks interesting - https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds...ml?refer=alert
Agree, looks like a nice car at a reasonable price, if it's as nice as it looks in the pictures, carfax is clean, and the car is mechanically well sorted. Hard to find really nice ones with reasonable miles under $50K these days.
Do you suppose they just painted the rear bumperettes, or a sign of more extensive body/paintwork?

Yep, nice looking, low mileage car asking under $50k.
Painted bumperettes are very common. I would not consider it an indicator of other paint or body work.

If VIN is the one on the Hood in the Image from the link https://www.carsclassic.com/inventory/details/48490707
Then AutoCheck reports no accidents and it being a Cali car. AutoCheck not the best. Shows several years where car was not registered.
Worth a look???

Yeah, that is a good buy unless there is something not there on listing that a PPI/DME report will uncover. I bought a 70k '02 with full history & some X-50 level mods for $10k less, but I'm about to spend $6k on a carbon upgrade.
Aside from the common-silver color, I would rather have bought this......

I'm actually considering looking at this car (Charlotte CL, above). There are several red flags, especially for a 996 noob like me but it's close enough to me to warrant a look. I wish I knew someone who could do a PPI on it.

Hmm, well, that's a LOT of car for sub-$30k money. If it is in good shape, it won't last at that price. Rebuilt title is a 20 to 25% hit on value. So, assuming you could snag it for $28k, that means the same car with a non-branded title should sell for around $35 or $36k. If the title were clear, I think that's a $45k car. The red wheels and Y-pipe setup might also scare some folks away. But, assuming the car is in good condition with quality repairs, I think it's a very good deal.

My 996tt just got totaled. That blk 996tt in NC is actually pretty interesting. I learned whats the point of having a nice low mileage mint 996tt when someone will just crash into it :/
Anyone local to it

Losing a low mileage tt, due to someone else's lack of judgement sucks.. Hopefully insurance can somewhat ease the loss.. The NC craigslist tt for under 30k is definitely worth a look. At that price it's a great driver.
