no affiliation. Does that look legit? wish I had the funds to "gamble" on this one. Do the mods and high mileage justify the low price?

that's not a low price for the car so depicted

it's been mutilated

Buddhamonk

but it seems like the "mutilations" should be reversible - that screen and massive subwoofer can probably be removed and reverted back to stock. That's why I'm calling it a "gamble"

screen is a handful of bolts to remove, would assume so with the subwoofer

Looks like a driven car. Upgrades can be reverted easily. If it checks clean price is not terrible. Pretty sure can be negotiated a little bit more. I love how ppl having strokes when they see a GT3/RS with 30k on it.

Buddhamonk

don't they self destruct at 40K miles? that would make me nervous as hell

<------------ 38k. My car is timed out at least 2x now

My 3.8RS is still singing along happily at 62.5k miles...don't let the mileage scare you as this is one of the only ways to score a 'bargain deal' on a real RS. Unless you buy from mooty of course!

ScottArizona

Dang...I actually don't mind it at all. I was struck by just how "right" the perlon 996 gt3 bucket seats look in this car. Hmmmm.

If everything checks out in the PPI, that car is easily reversible.

54k miles on my GT3, the majority put on by me as Im the 2nd owner

Here's my take:
--Seats, if those are porsche original, great, if Rottec or whatever those fake ones are, need to remove
--rip out stereo, replace with shelf or stock radio (has the cheap one, not sound + which is good / cheap)
--Replace those horrible wheels
--passes PPI
--Passes paint inspection

Seems maybe low if the above are true?

bmwtye

Comes with the stock wheels so that solves the replace the wheels on the car problem easily.

Spyerx

Yup. See all the high mileage guys are like "BUY IT IF IT CHECKS OUT!"

Steve, You have put what, 3k on that thing!?!?! I'd have had that baby up over 75k by now! It's a race to 100 :-)

bmwtye

haha yup

Snowboarder would have beat us all the 100 in his silver car (RIP), but maybe he still just might in the white car
