996 turbo s

there is one for sale 2 blocks from my place.

for how much are they going these days and are they worth the extra money over a regular turbo?

2005s seem to be going for high 50s to high 70s but haven't looked lately so take my opinion there lightly.

In terms of worth however, I can comment more there. My opinion is not really but depending on what you are going to do with the car it may be. I have a upsolute ECU flash and am at 520hp which is 70 more than the "s". This cost a few grand with the tune and everything. So if you aren't planning to push to over 600hp then you don't need the bigger turbos and intercooler. If you are however, it might be worth it. I still think you can get k24 turbos and an upgraded intercooler for less, but I like to keep anything "fi" related as close to stock as possible just because of the problems that arise.

I just found the ad on the web and it says "2001 turbo S"

So either there is an error on the year or it's a fake turbo S badge

He's asking 65K.

I think I'm gonna pass on this one

Some 2005 Turbos are not an "S"

You are correct. I naturally assumed he was interesed in the coupe which only came in an S model. Must just be my taste coming into play.

And I just did check autotrader again and there are a ton under 75k that are advertised as Turbo s. Again, they may have accidents they may not. Just throwing the data out there.
