One of the undiscussed bonuses for the customer.

Depending on the speaker system, I bet that can get the heart rate up too.

Sell the 2 you have. You can only drive one at a time, you'll probably save money!

It would fit perfectly between my 996.2 and 997.2 and would be the cab I've never had. Unfortunately I don't have a place to put it unless it stayed covered outside and I'm not selling my other 2. I have recommended this one to several people as a great car to get as their 1st 911. Very anxious to see how well the seller does.

It's OK because you don't know me, and your advice would be what all my grown children embrace, but they would tell you that their dad won't sell stuff, but instead built a barn (so called) so he could just keep stuff.

They aren't wrong, except they leave out the part where I give them all stuff I had in the barn until it became theirs. Lol

I'd seriously consider fetching that car but I doubt his reserve is going to be low enough for me to steal it. Rightfully so too! I will be watching.

First number needs to start with a 5 or a 6 to take this one home.

Starts with a 5, everyone will say the motor sold for nothing.
Starts with a 6, they'll maybe acknowledge it barely was in play.

Since a similar enough car, with higher mileage admittedly, just sold for $37k, I personally think anything over 45k is absolutely influenced by what's sitting behind the driver. Based on that arbitrary view, $60k is a ~50% return on the FSI invoice.

​​​​​If I had the discretionary budget at this moment, I'd put my money where my mouth is. It co$t me nothing to say that of course. Lol

The 997.1S that sold for $37k just had $7k of the important maintenance done and came with a clean bore scoping. That was a great buy IMHO and would have brought north of $40k on BaT but the seller moved it quickly and priced it to sell quickly.

Problem is even at the current bid there is no jr help to the new owner he is on his own
so it dawned on me that when it’s time to rebuild do it and never sell it if or when the time comes

Is the break in period on a FSI engine really 7500 miles?

Seems like you would have to have something wrong in the head to overpay for a car with an FSI engine when FSI will just tell you you're a stepchild they refuse to support if you have an issue...

If you wanted an FSI engine (Not me, wouldn't take one for free) you should probably just have him build it, for $32K or whatever he charges.

Glad FSI isn't my step dad... I'm glad you guys all think he's great - to me, he comes off as a real *** hole. I'd rather slam my dick in the door than do business with him
