yeah, trouble is the OP's car isn't yours and making asinine statements like you wouldn't ride in a car with 20% brake pad life remaining is, in fact, ridiculous.
The only thing correct around your post was the research, so terrific, we agree.
Original thoughts on a pricing thread? What world do you live in?
And, the dig at not being a member, like that makes any difference.
wow, douche bag? very clever. Listen child, wipe that sand out of your hooha and get over your fear of mildly worn brake pads.

I have seen your posts before, you hide behind your keyboard and trash people at will. The difference is I would not hesitate to call you a douche bag and more to your face. Your are what is wrong with this site - trash others and never give good recommendations. I do not get to NJ but I will be at the Watkins Glen club race with the car in my avatar. Come over and say hi.
No hard feeling, I hope.

^^ this!!! +1 to the OP welcome to back to Rennlist and good luck with the sale. as hot as pricing is on 993s and as often as someone mentions how hard it is to find a nice example - I would think we would all like to know earlier rather than later when one is about to come on the market!!! Given what dealers are asking you should be able to command a strong price! but I agree - best advice is don't sell!!!!

Bets? How about Pay-Per-View? The Mayweather-Pacquiao fight is charging $100. We should be able to get at least half that amount for a Certz-Quadcammer fight.

Ha! And I had no idea what the 1st poster meant with the little popcorn emoitcon... thanks to most of you that posted constructive comments and to those who defended and believed in my nievety. Ive owned Porshe's for 20 years and have followed this site at times religiously. I will say rarely do I post, out of fear or intinidation of being jumped like I did early on here. Seems extremely childish and certainly turns off any new comers. I would hate to respond any further to the constructive questions out of concern I might be taking advantage of the $18 savings of my non member status.
I promise though, when and if the time comes, I will list it on RL first,,,after my membership fees are paid,,,if I can afford them,,, after doing the brakes that is

No way am I taking sides here but will throw this out for what it is worth.
Last March when I bought my black car the PPI said it needed brakes. When we got it up on the lift, my mechanic said there was about 15k miles left on the pads and the rotors were fine.
Well, I had it stuck in my mind that it needed brakes and wanted him to do them. He said "Why? You put about 2,000 miles on a year, at that rate you really won't need new pads for a few years". "Also, the pads are mated to the rotors and any small grooves actually provide more braking surface than if they were smooth as glass"
I'm going to miss him when he retires.....
But, I would add that if I was tracking my cars, I would most likely do them now.
Regards,

Jeeeze........ I'm really surprised the OP isn't a member !
I mean, we RL guys are so f - ing friendly and all, why wouldn't someone want to be an official member of this ****show
My advice - tidy up the cheap easy fixes, post for sale with lots of pics, including pics of any body damage, dates and details of mods/work done.

Oh and if you do join RL......... Good Luck Mother F :-)

Dr No, since you are clearly one of the experts here, you are surely making me a fair or even great offer. unfortunately , I don't yet have my membership dues paid so i couldnt possibly face the outrage of fellow RL'ers of such an unethical sale
