If you would not just ban me without explanation, you would learn that have a US Dealership, if you are scared for the reasons above mentioned. Your Ride would be sold by now... oh well.
On a previous vehicle I sold I was scammed out of $5,500 due to bad funds from out of country hence my hesitation. It also tied up the sale for two weeks and I had to deal with banks for a month and was a nightmare.

There are too many scams going around nowadays with vehicles.

Beautiful car. When I got mine a few years ago, I thought about if I should have looked for Green over Natural Brown, then I thought I might buy a second, but since prices have come up, I'll just drool over yours

Beautiful spec! More pics, please

The get back on topic, there is another 18k-Mile 996 Turbo on BaT: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...911-turbo-158/

Not really fan of the Arctic Silver or the bumperettes, also not as clean, as I would want, but maybe worth a shot at a correct price.

There always seems to be a lot of nice high end cars coming out of the SLC area. Is there a concentration of wealthy people in the area?

Any 911 Turbo in a unique (and desirable) color is a priceless gem that will ultimately be worth a small fortune. Great score!

Yes, if you are wealthy and Mormon SLC is where you live or have a second, or third, home.

There are also a few world-class ski resorts nearby that also attract the well moneyed folks.

The ski areas like Park City are some of the wealthiest 'small cities' in the country. It's like Telluride, Aspen, Taos, etc. and ~30 miles from SLC. Not just Mormons either.

Not just “like” IMO Deer Valley is the poshest ski resort in the U.S., and Alta is the best skiing on the entire continent. HUGE ski money from the whole world pilgrimages to that region.

From a pure skiing perspective, and IMHO and experience, Alta just may have the best terrain and snow quality in the entire world. The back bowl is skier heaven. Stunningly beautiful. And oddly no snow boarding allowed.

Question 2005 Cab on BAT

Hi All, what are your thoughts on this model, it is beautiful, there are some questions about the quick flip but that could have just been taking advantage of someone who needed cash, driving it for three months and then flipping it at a profit. My main concern is the leaking around the mirror, the convertible top is flawless and everything else is just awesome. It is automatic but it is a rare 2005 cab. Its sitting at 45k with one day left which means just about nothing but any thoughts?

The mirror is a $100 fix.

Anything below $60k is a steal for that car.
