Rey, Your Atlas 996 looks awesome! The color suits the car really well. I had black, seal and red 996s and I think dark colors look the best. The Evo tune really works if you have access to 91 octane or betterr gas and a less restrictive exhaust. JBO
That Meteor one looks really sharp. If all checks out it's a no brainer. The color matched wheels are nice. I'm a bit biased as my 6-3 is Atlas with Atlas wheels, seat-backs and center console.
EDIT: looked at the ads again and noticed the list of mods on the Meteor car. Obviously if you prefer a stock car this might give you some hesitation. These are all good mods. Not sure about the EVOMSIT tune though. How much do these cars benefit from it?

Love your 996 GT3. Will these mods bring down the resale value in the future when I sell it? I think it's mainly the flywheel and the diff. The tune might be easy to reverse.
As long as they are of equal structural and cosmetic integrity for their respective miles, my thoughts would render the following.
The yellow is used
The gray is almost new.
I would take the yellow only if discounted 20k below the gray. Clutch wear/ brake wear/suspension wear / paint wear/ interior wear / engine wear / starter wear / radiator wear etc etc.
No comparison but with a 20k discount - equal playing field and any decision would be fine to live with.
I have a pristine Meteor Gray, and I put a red RS roll bar in just for the cool factor, and that bar mounts to the seat belt mounts on the floor, and the shock towers in the rear.. I bought a trim piece made for the bar in the back, so I didn't have to cut any holes in the carpet. Looks cool, you might as well leave the bar in anyway unless you plan on hauling groceries or mulch.
I see the grey one at SF Sports Cars is sale pending again.
Did the OP grab it?
Well, yes, I put a deposit on the car but am glad I performed a PPI. It seems that the bumper, hood and two fenders have been repainted (well hidden under a clear bra!). I suspect a track related incident but one never knows. No structural damage and car passed the PPI well otherwise, but this is a big red flag. Clearly, the integrity of the seller is at stake here for not being upfront with me (how could they have not known?), but alas, this is the car business after all.
The question here is, should I move on or try to negotiate a steep discount and if so, what would be the 'right' price?
Thank you!
Yes I saw it.... I am planning on financing part of the purchase through my credit union so it will be tough to pull off with an out of state auction...
