I don't know the car personally, but the dealer is local. I think you can realistically knock off $2,000-$2,500 from what its listed at, and at that point its not a bad 996tt to have fun with. If the records check out I wouldn't worry about the # of owners, unless you plan on selling it fairly quickly.

The dealer is local to me. If things move forward let me know if you want a local opinion before flying out. Another option would be Yurii at Polar Porsche (local indy), he's known by the dealership and does very thorough PPI's (pre-purchse inspections)

Thanks for the help. I really appreciate this forum because of the willingness of members to support one another. There is a local car Im going to look at this week, if that doesnt come together then Ill call on this car. If I could get it for 2k off then that would help offset the shipping costs. Im in Seattle so literally as far away as you could get.

Yep after the engine build as the builder scratched 3 sections of the car. I decided it was time to go back to stock and possibly change up the color in the future. Builder covered cost to remove the whole wrap.
