I just took delivery of a 2002 996 Turbo -
VIN: WP0AB29992S687255
I hope someone has information on who the previous owner was.
Someone put a lot of time and money into this vehicle and my mechanic has some questions that I assume only they would know. The car was in Chicago -

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

This car is in amazing condition - for the year and miles. Good purchase, but risky considering I knew nothing of the history at the time.

Not strong at all - paid $48k - for a car with ~26k, that's very cheap. Most 996 Turbo's I was looking at were around 40-50k for the same $48-50k.

oem non modded 996 tt are holding the value pretty good actually. its the mods that i have always said don't bring value unless its suspension, braking or cosmetic. engine mods are a giveaway every time

I watched the market for months. A lot of owners are asking way too much and not selling. A good gauge is the completed auctions not what they are listed for. That being said, if you have the stomach for a modified ride you will always save money. Also if you do modify you should save all OEM items and revert back. Selling stock + parts will yeild much better results.
My only issue is the car is black. I wanted yellow but I saved about $30k with this car vs doing mods myself.

Congratz! Great looking car with tremendous amount of upgrades. I think I saw this listing on ebay, if memory serves me right.
Was $48k the original asking price? If not, mind me asking what was asking price?
Thanks. Just curious...

+1 to what 32krazy said. If the "S" annoys you, it's easy to remove without disturbing the original emblem.

Those are the indicators for a built in K40 radar detector.
