Thoughts on this 997?
#17
That looks so expensive... for a 997.1 or 997.2! I think half the price would have been a steal, so... bid them that.
Would would you wanna buy a low miles car? Buy high miles well driven car, dont pay premium, and also dont eat that premium when you drive it. Thats my 2c of course.

Yes, sorry about that. I would want to know what made it necessary to remove the transmission and as much as can be made available in addition to that. As you say, axle bearing replacement, water pump replacement, crankshaft oil seal (front/rear) seems a bit concerning with just 24K miles on the clock. Two possibilities as I see it. The two previous owners were unlucky and ended up with what some may call a lemon or as nice as the car looks in the pictures it has lived a hard life and all this maintenance is the result of that.
Minor issue in the big scheme of things here but how do you abuse a water pump to where it fails before even getting to 24K miles? Could have been a bad one from the factory. Mine went at around 45K miles on the -09 C4S and I still have the original one on the GTS with over 65K miles on it.

Way too much. I paid not a whole lot more than that for a CPO GTS cab, manual with 16k on it. I followed the market and saw that dealer consistently had way over market prices. I was interested in a very nice low mileage C2S from a private individual until he disclosed it had been in a flood, I passed. The car turned up at that dealer for over $10k more without the discloser, at least not on the website.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with this car but its always do your diligence and buyer beware.
