The seller of the Atlas Gray car can't help himself. Even if you don't get the car detailed prior to sale, at least give it a good wash. Dust, water spots, dirty wheels, etc. I know BaT brings out the DME questions, but the seller could at least educate themselves about what it is, rather than replying "Not sure what a DME report is, so i know I don’t have one." Poor car was in an accident less than 3 mos from new.

Haha. I don't but I do have the thread pitch. M6x1.0. Head to any Fastenal or the Metric pick-n-nut section at your local home depot and you should be able to find the right size nickle plated fastener needed.

I’ve got a few standard 997 Turbo opening questions:

Always have to chuckle at the Investigative Reporting from serial tire kickers who have a history of throwing zero-risk lowball bids at auctions to feel like they're contributing.
Depending on the reserve, given an okay PPI that one could be a decent deal if the BaT ninnies shy away due to the poor presentation. Looks like it could clean up decently.

Some of the keyboard-warrriors on BaT wield more un-deserved power than they realize I think - I suspect they think they are doing worthwhile due diligence "for the benefit of buyers" when in some cases they are spreading unnecessary doubt (c.f. DME report with minor over-revs)

Looks to be driven and enjoyed- a good thing. Seller claims coolant pipes were done- a good thing. Two bids to start out and first comment asking for DME report.

Man, you guys are an impressive lot with the background, history and fact-finding on the Atlas Gray car. It is odd that the car wasn't better researched, documented, and - for crying out loud - cleaned and detailed prior to BAT listing. For the two cars I've put on BAT, I was so paranoid about any griping I kinda 'overdid' it in those areas.
Anyway, mildly different topic: I've got an Atlas Gray '10 997tt that after digging through the options and production numbers, found that only 12 twin turbos were painted Atlas Gray in 2010. I realize .1 production numbers are higher, but that is still likely a highly unusual color, especially coupled to the 6-speed.

Yeah, curious to see what this one goes for. The one with the same amount of miles from a few days ago went for 77, but that one seemed totally immaculate and well cared for. This one does not. And people don't seem to really like the natural leather colors. Not sure what that's worth. I'm going to guess 67k.
