Found this on CL in Arizona. He was asking 67,900 for it. I did not pay that much. This car is super special and I am really looking forward to revealing the details on my channel very soon. But for now here are some high-level deets:
Turbo/GT2 Hybrid
Cobb Tuned Stage 1
PCCB
68K miles
Manual
Boxster Red Interior
Black is the original color
I take that back for a $68K 996 Cab, it better come fully detailed and color corrected.
AAAnd, if you were to powder coat the calipers yellow, you could have the SuperMobile! We've sure as s#$t seen enough Bat Mobiles haven't we?
I’m calling it CK so it fits.
The yellow calipers were painted red for some reason.
Again, I felt bad for him but he didn’t get much for all the mods he put in. If anything.
I’m very fortunate to have two 996 cabs on opposite ends of the spectrum for me to draw a baseline. It’s funny to think one lived a life of luxury with mods and TLC, the other one was raised on crack and opioids and left outside wet one too many times. It’s tragic but fascinating to see how these cars aged so differently.
Great deal for a 6 speed manual X50 cab with extensive maintenance. I’ve actually seen it in person and met the owner, he put a lot of work into it to make it perfect.

58 is a little high but seems well maintained. I’d offer 50 and pay no more than 55.

I don’t disagree and I’m sure he’s negotiable, but I thought it was already a great deal for an X50 package car. Normally X50 cars always carry a premium

55 is a deal in my opinion, but I'm biased since I'm prepping my X50 cab to sell. Granted mine is a tip and higher mileage, but it's had a massive amount of recent maintenance done thinking I was going to keep it for a long time. Besides a Europipe, it's bone stock. I think that's a premium.

Dammit, Kleebss, don’t make me make another trip to Chicago! :-)
Having the X50 package is sweet but is it worth the premium over a Turbo S (which it comes standard) AND with PCCB? I'm still kinda new to the Turbo scene so I'm not sure if the limited production numbers may also play a factor. All I know is that I just bought a heavily modded/moderately spec'd Turbo S/GT2 hybrid for $60K @68K miles from Arizona. So unless it's super low mileage AND heavily spec'd then it's a wash and doesn't merit a premium imho.

its the otherway around. The S is worth a premium over the X50.

A comparable S is always going to be worth more than an X50 even if the X50 has PCCB. Once they are significantly modified or have higher miles both X50 and Turbo S's don't add much to the price because the people that pay top dollar don't want high miles or highly modified cars.
