Congratulations DK, I actually called on that car a couple days ago. It has more miles that I'd normally consider, but that EVOMS GT 660 kit on there was quite enticing, especially since it was done by EVOMS themselves, so you know it was done correctly. Just out of curiousity, how many miles were on it when the kit was installed. That was one of the questions i asked when I originally emailed them regarding the car. But when they got back to me, it had already been sold. I'm glad that it went to a fellow RL'er!! Congratulations again!
Like you, the miles initially pushed me away, but the mods/upgrades really made me strongly reconsider, and I'm glad I did. The GT660 kit was installed around 72K, but the actual installation of the majority of parts was done by Vivid. EVOMS did work on it later, and changed some things that they felt suited their kit better. Before I went to check out the car in person, I requested copies of the invoices for all of the work done, and I also spoke with Sam at EVOMS to get his take on the car and also get verification of the "claimed" dyno numbers. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that the claims were backed up. I was, however, disappointed to learn that even with all of the upgrades/modifications that had been done to the car, a short shifter wasn't 1 of them. I also need to sort out the tune, as I live in a completely different climate than AZ, and have slightly "better" gas (93 octane vs 91). I saw 1.5 bar on the dash in cool, 70* weather, which felt great, but made me a bit nervous.

I have the opportunity to purchase a 03' 996TT X50 Silver/Black w/ minimal options with very low miles less than 10,000. The seller is asking in the mid $60's. Its a lightly optioned car besides the X50. I've been looking for a while and this is without a doubt the cleanest (cosmetically) of the dozen or so cars I've looked at. It's pristine inside and out. Downside is that the car has no maintenance records. It has a clean carfax from with two prior owners from a dry warm climate state. Thoughts?

Maybe high 50s if you can't live without it? How long has it been on the market?

I dno if this one has been posted. Its at my local dealer and i drove it last month. Not in the market yet but i did like it. Needed brakes though and i feel the price is high. Carfax says accident, dealer says fender bender.

I'd bet if he had an offer for over $60K from a dealer he'd have already taken it. and btw, how is a dealer going to make money on this car paying $60-$62K?
If you're looking for a car you can drive and put some miles on, this probably isn't it, not at $60K. I'm not saying it's not worth $60K as 10K mile X50 garage queens are pretty rare, but I'd rather spend $10K less and buy something more useable.
How old are the tires btw? If they're 6 years or older, I would not recommend any spirited driving on them, so factor that in if you are going to make an offer.
