Love the color, interior look very good and had that crisp new look if that makes sense.
I don't love the lobster forks on the 996 for some reason.
So I went and looked at this, surprise it's an X50! I did do a test drive, wasn't anything out of the ordinary. It does have an after market exhaust. The interior part of the top needs some attention. It has a pull to the right. I did a pull in 3rd gear and saw .9 bar, assuming it has a tune. They are asking $47,900. Body is straight, was dusty, but didn't see any dings or dents. No warning lights on, did about 10 miles in it.

Actually I believe .9 bar is stock the X50. Did if feel kinda soft in the low end / midrange like most stock x50s?

Cleaned up, it's probably priced to market.

Yes it was soft low end/midrange. Felt like mine which is non X50 until about .3 bar then I could feel that it was more power than mine.

.9 bar is stock for x50, but x50 isn't soft midrange at all. Stock x50 at 3.5k to 4.5k rpm pulls like a freaking freight train.

Sounds like a sweet deal if it's an X50.

I always thought the 997tt wheels were known as lobsters forks.

People who don't go to nice restaurants tend to call them "lobster claws." (probably call 'em "rims," too)

Sold for $54k. Seems like a solid deal for both parties.

I think it could have brought a few $k more given color and mileage...

Right on the money. If it had Black interior I think it would of been a upper $50s car all day.

I agree but I think the interior and it not being an X50 hurt the value a bit.

Also keep in mind that buyer has to add 5% in fees on BaT, so it's ~$57k to the buyer.
