What do you guys think? Is this a good deal? I haven't test driven it or seen it in person yet, but thinking about it. I copied and pasted from the dealer's online online ad below. Asking price is $49k.

"Pushing close to 700hp, this Lapis Blue Metallic 2002 Porsche 911 Turbo is upgraded with nearly $27,600 in performance upgrades to and already impressive $125,950 window sticker. Performance upgrades to this 996 include a new performance GIAC ECU, upgraded Super Sport headers, K24 GT2 turbochargers, upgraded GT2 intercooler, Bailey Motorsports alloy diverter valve kit, body color GT2 front bumper and an absolutely visceral Remus performance exhaust system. It also features of $12K in factory options that include the Graphite Grey full leather interior, heated power front seats with lumbar support, Porsche Communication Management, 6-Disc CD Changer and Porsche crest headrest inlays."

so, basically it's a flashed tt with aftermarket stuff resembling a flashed x50 car, but without the parts from the factory. sounds as if its priced a little high to me, but that's a dealer fo ya. it'll all come down to miles on it. over 25k miles? i would say it's overpriced by a few k at least. under 25k miles?, sure.. maybe 45/47 tops. if super clean nnd low miles. GL.

 

miles? 6spd or tip?

 

High unless it's really low miles. In general, mods don't add much to the value of the car, so only pay extra if you really want that extra stuff.

 

48,000 miles. 6 speed manual.

 

ive got a similar car with a lot more miles but awesome mods. im selling it for $37k. my 997 is due here on april 27th. PM me if ude like more details.

 

I'll send you a PM.

 

Edit...I'll send you a PM after my post count reaches 15, lol. Better yet, can you send me a PM w/the following info:

Can you tell me some more details about your 996? Year? Turbo? Mileage? Mods? Accessories? Color? Condition? # of prior owners? Why are you selling?

Thanks.

 

over priced. buy steve k's car.

 

where are the other 125hp coming from?

 

well not really sure how the mods you posted are "pushing it close to 700hp"

i would also ask if the clutch was upgraded if it is putting down serious jam like that

IMO there are better deals to be had for that price...

 

my car is a k24 car. 60-130 in 7.7. 503 rwhp.
im selling because i bought a 997 turbo over the weekend.
check pm

 

I'll check it. Trying to reach 15 posts before I can reply/pm.

 

I'm not familiar with mods in general. But I wonder if this car was raced or tracked hard.

 

Its from the color matched GT2 bumper
