Group, what's your opinion on this car. I'm a little reluctant to purchase from a non factory dealership but I love the color and the options. It seems to be waiting for me. Also is the plate drilled into the bumper? That would be a deal breaker for me (Petty, I know)
Thanks.

Like the sport seats, like the coloring. Personally, couldn't do the Alcantara door trim or the lack of full leather on the dash, doors, and console side panels.

Looks like a nice car and the price reflect current trends. That plate has a high probability it's drilled into the front bumper, most are.

Seems like that car has been on there for 2 years. Maybe it is a consignment? I don't know, but I think it is a bit over priced.

smoking price if it were a 6MT, Tots agree that high for a PDK, even w/ the low miles. . .

Thanks guys, everything is over priced in todays market. Wow it's been there for 2 years? Any experience with the dealer?

I don't remember it being for sale for two years. The last owner had it serviced in Illinois last August...and it's for sale now in Texas. I think it looks great, and I don't think it's overpriced at all. The BAT car just sold for about that and it ($71k plus fees) and it was underbid because they just recently started ending auctions on Sunday so there was no action. BAT GTS

I love te color and if it LOOKS like a 18k mile car what's not to love? So it's not a manual but if it were it would be $86k easy I suspect. Go for it. Respray the bumper and fill the holes.

I saw that Carfax entry so as I mentioned, it may be a consignment. Pretty sure they di a fair amount of consignments. They had it listed when I purchased mine in October 2019 for the same price. Same car, same photos, same price . . .

Used to be the Ruf guys. I had them do a Ruf 550 on a 2001 996tt I purchased new 17 years ago, had them do a Ruf conversion to a 964 I had almost 18 years ago and then I had some issues with them in 2005 ish when doing Ruf mods to a 2004 996tt cab I had. I would not use them again after that, but thtat was a LOOOONNNGGGGG time ago and I believe they lost or no longer a Ruf shop.

Sent you a PM to offer some advice but not sure if it went out...

Also FYI, LexVan is selling his 991 Cab with a Powerkit. I know it's not a GTS but it is a very nice car with a manual. Not to be a shill but I've seen it myself and it's in spectacular shape.

Really interested to see how Kevin's car will do on BAT. Need to see solid proof 6sp low milage GTS will exchange hands at 80k+. I continue to be suspicious of those top of market lists of 6spds.

Saw this manual GTS listed on CL - https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sf...293835425.html
