Any thoughts from the experts on this. Assuming the price is high but would love some thoughts.

Aftermarket body kits, wheels, and turbos are a mixed bag... If the mods are exactly your taste and what you are looking for, it can be a good deal to buy a car like that, but all that stuff tends to add little or nothing over the value of a completely stock car.

The only exception for me is absolutely top-quality performance mods, done fairly recently, and by known and respected shops/tuners.

That's a nice looking 996 Turbo. I think the RUF mods are just fine.

Beautiful car. Looks like fantastic condition. Price a little high for the miles, but not horribly overpriced.

Kermit the Frog and the Grinch come to mind...

Maybe one of the Greenbay Packers?

Looks like a half-ripe banana. Super low miles, appears to be in great condition.

Yeah, it's a special car with a very unique color combo. It should sell well...

I am a fan exotic and bold color combinations but that is even too much for me.

I definitely think it's the strangest combo I've seen on a 996.

This would be the easiest sell ever. I would throw a few GB Packers logos on the car. The color combination is very close to the team colors.

With Packers fans all over the US, it would sell in a couple days. Throw in a couple Packers tickets to the buyer.

There's a reason it has so few miles... Only driven at night so no one see's you..
