@Jpfrazier4211 Is the car still for sale? If so, how can I contact you?
Seller is NOT a newbie,as a matter of fact a 44 year veteran of selling Porsche cars.Auction was launched before we were ready with meter readings and Rev reports.
We run a brick and mortar store that has been absolutely inundated by business this past 14 days,DOUBLE the normal amount of sales-go figure.
My apologies to any one that TRULY may have had interest in purchasing this Turbo.
I simply have not had the opportunity to respond to comments.
The car has had extremely nice servicing by Beverly Hills Porsche.The car shows no indication of accident history.The passenger side front fender has paint history and we painted the front bumper because our porter tried to squeeze too many cars in our showroom and damaged the bumper.
I am old school seller that enjoys transparency and interaction by seriously interested parties.The timing of this auction did not allow for full participation.
Obviously the seller is a newbie. In reasonable shape this 996 turbo is a great car. Don’t look down at a 996 turbo. This car was significantly different from its Carrera little brothers.

Beautiful 996TT. The great color combo and 6-speed manual tick a couple of the important boxes. An absolute bang for the buck bargain for this incredible speed machine. Every mile is a thrill. Paid much, much more for mine. GLWTA.

Very nice car, I hope to put a offer in two days. A true super car for cheap.
Early history is strange and includes some major replacements not normally seen in this vehicle, including master cylinder, transmission and others. Is there any history in this?
It appears that the steering wheel airbag was replaced because all Turbos cane with the stitched airbag and commensurate leather cover. Do you have any additional information about that?
Seller, this car appears to have been painted based on the pictures. Paint depth readings will help. As well, a DME report showing ‘over-rev’ counts would be appreciated. Thanks.
