That a decent deal? What about the exhaust, can anyone tell which type of FVD it is? Would this car meet the flow requirements for a Cobb stage 2?

Anything the car doesn't have that it should? Maintenance costs or worries?

 

From a distance it looks like a respectable deal. I wouldn't be worried at all at the 24k mileage, these cars wake up at between 10 and 20k. Obviously loaded based on the build sheet msrp which is insane. My only hang up would be the red interior as it's not my 1st preference but to each his own.

Simply a Cobb AP and exhaust will have her flying. Ask me how I know..

 

It says it has a FVD exhaust, I was wondering if that was a good exhaust and free flowing enough for a Cobb AP stage 2 load.

Any comments on drive-line and engine longevity with Cobb stage 2?

 

I have Kline and cant really comment on the FVD as i have zero experience with it. However you'll be fine at stage two with it since its already there.

No concerns whatsoever with a stage 2 tune and reliability. There are videos on the net of someone launching over 50 times in a TT.

My car is stage IV with turbos, ICs, tune yada yada and i recently launched 12 times in hot lap mode without issue. My car feels as tight and as supple as the day she came off the line.

 

+1 it looks like you could get a decent deal and the store has 100% feedback. If you are someone who would put a lot of miles on it I would be hesitant. But if you don't plan to put many on you can own it for a few years and the miles will be average. FVD makes nice products. Exhaust is always a personal preference thing. Agate grey is always nice!

 

Ask for Doug. Good guy.

 

That's the exhaust I have. Sounds great, no drone.

The only thing you have to confirm for the stage 2 tune is that it has the high flow cats. You can get that exhaust without them.

 

WRS also has an FVD exhaust. I have heard it and it sounds nice, but as stated its a preference on these cars. I had Agate on my last 991 and probably still my favorite color in the range. The car is obviously loaded with a 204k MSRP and at 137k asking the 24xxx miles are reflected in the price for a Turbo S. I personally would pay the extra 7-10k and buy a lower mile car. There is certainly nothing wrong though with this having those miles on it, its under warranty and barely broken in.

 

Ya, I wonder if that many miles is worth it. I know on some of these higher end cars, once they reach 50K+ miles the resale value kinda goes off a cliff.

 

Yeah and I think some of us are also thinking you'll get a chunk taken out of the price. To make it more attractive. Some very valid points here.

 

I've shown some of my friends the car and they all think I should get a ludicrous mode Tesla for the same money.

Any of you guys own a Tesla?

 

A number of factors come into play but the delta to resale from a cost basis stand point can be considerably less to buy a 130k car with 25k miles to 50k as opposed to a $160 k car with 10k to 35k miles. Really comes down to preference and cost of ownership comfort level. I wouldn't hesitate to at least place a deposit. Im bullish on the platform holding its value through at the very least this coming summer and into the year relatively speaking. Surprised this car is not gone yet with all the interest I know is out there of people looking to join the club.

Good luck!🏁

 

Good points. I am coming from a GTR, Exige and Viper and they all have fairly low livability.

I like that (especially with the Cobb out now) the insane speed and day to day livability of a refined 2+2 and AWD.

 

Look at it this way… It's a viper with a supercharger combined with the Tesla!

 

Or a GSXR 1000 with a sunroof and 4 seats. 🏁
