So am I to understand that the car at Newport, the silver/black with ~16k miles on it is not original? What do you mean? The reason I ask is that I spoke to a Mike Burger at the dealership over the phone yesterday regarding the car. I am thinking of flying down there this weekend to see the car. They are asking $145,900 on ebay. If anyone in the 6speed community cares to share with me something I should know regarding that car please do. I don't think anyone would want to make a big mistake and buy a car like that if it is not "100 correct". PM me if it would be a more discrete method to tell me what you know.

Thanks

i don't think we were talking about it not being a TT S. I think the problem is the rear trunk lid isn't stock. The Turbo S shown on the back is not original equipment and we were wondering why it's not original. wrecked? or not actually a turbo S? who knows

Well, you can see pretty easily that the "Turbo S" script on the back is not from a 993. I don't know why anyone would ever make a change like that. Rip off the original script and put an incorrect one on? You'd have to REALLY love that 996 big S and chrome "turbo" to do that to a collectible car like that.

well I guess the VIN number would prove if it's an "S" and I believe it could authenticated by Porsche NA. As far as an accident like you say who knows. Thanks for your thoughts. Good info to have in my hip pocket.
