What do you guys think of this last one here? I am really looking for one but I am in Colorado. I suppose I would travel but this is a nice price and I would prefer a non-silver car.

All I know about Autowerkes is that 2 weeks ago, a guy on the NA 996 forum hired them to do a PPI on a 2006 Cayman and they convinced the seller to back out on the sale and sell it to their tech. And that's not hearsay - the shop owner came into the thread and confirmed that's exactly what happened. Unbelievable but true.

I love black cars . . . just really hard to keep them looking nice. Also I think the unique design cues of the 996tt (turbo intakes and intercooler vents) are kind of lost on the darker colored cars. They stand out better on lighter cars.
I'm not a fan of the Boxster red interior. That one at least has some black pieces to break the red up. On the other hand, that color interior is unique.
Love the Misha GT2 add on wing. That's what I have on mine and I think it looks great. Plus it still goes up and down (sorry, but my inner 10-year-old self likes that).
Not a fan of the smoked taillights - mine came with them. But the Del Ray Customs LED taillights I upgraded to were the best mod I've done to any of my Porsches. They really update/transform the look of the car. Plus you can sell the OEM lights for almost as much as the LED lights cost.
Ipod aux input is a nice mod, but not a big deal.
As nbressette said, no mention of maintenance history. I'd be wanting to know that. Maintenance history is way more important than mileage.

Those are good thoughts, thanks mate. I would prefer speed yellow. I still might call this guy next week after a test drive locally to make sure I even really want this model.

On Craigslist here in KC. I believe that I know who this belongs to based on the location and the floormats. If I am correct, it may very well be worth the lofty price.

At 40 it would be in an interesting buy i think.

I've been looking at various 911s and similar 2+2s as a weekend car for a few months but this catches my interest a bit. http://www.ebay.com/itm/112108641898
Other than the obvious modifications, are there any obvious red flags? The windshield appears to have been replaced a ton of times on the carfax but other than that I can't find anything that sets it apart from a modded but well-maintained higher mileage 996TT.

Lol! I had to! Such a beautiful day, and I left the house late so not too much traffic. I'm just hoping my boss goes out the back side of the building because I'm parked right up front...taking up 2 spots...sideways.

Thanks! That same dealership has 2 other black, 996 turbos if you're interested. They had just gotten in a bone stock '01 with 100K miles when I was there, but I don't think it is listed yet. The other is a lightly modded, black on gray, '01.

Call and talk to Dustin. He is really good about sending information on any of the cars they have on their lot.
