Default FS 2005 Raby 3.8L

Just sharing that my 997.1 is for sale on BAT. I'm moving to the Bahamas and the logistics of relocating it is daunting. Plus I've owned property there for 20 years and know you really cannot drive much faster than 30 mph. That car deserves better! Here is the link https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...11-carrera-41/

It might be a good idea to address the BAT Comment questions regarding the seriousness of the accident damage.
There seems to be a lot of discontent in the comments regarding no feedback from seller or consignor regarding the accident damage
Just trying to help here

Thanks Groov. I paid these guys to handle this so I'm hands off. They said they responded to it yesterday and I just let them know that it is MIA.

I really think you need to respond to the BAT comment - F_ck the dealer - People have disconnect w/Dealer - Coming from you will benefit greatly even though comment would be redundant.
Trust me on this

BAT auctions go off the rails fast if there's lack of engagement from the owner and/or dealer. .

Beyond the failure protection, did you enjoy the engine? Was the upgrades worth the $20K (again ignoring the failure protection)? Did it sound different, perform differently etc.?

Peace

It was when we built this one a few years back.. Not anymore.
He also already had the IMS Solution fitted as a preventative, so that knocked 1500 bucks off immediately.

Groove is spot on with this. I am predicting an RNM on it otherwise. Also, you should address why those wires are hanging out from the panel on the center stack into the driver's foot well, and what that plug thing is velcroed to the bottom of the dash. The little details can make or break a sale on BaT.

That was the one I showed my wife. There was another for the upgrades.
