Anyone know this car?
Asking for a friend - was curious if anyone here knew history on it?
Thanks

38 is about par for a early 996 turbo. Mods add no value, so its right. judging by the water stains and exhaust tips, id say it sat for a long time somewhere....prob has the dog **** ran out of it.

Agreed - they will likely take less since it was a trade in.

One of those cars where it might seem like a good deal, and if you are mechanically capable it very well could be, but it is very likely that it is buying someone's incomplete project that needs some work. (considering the price point).

Way too many mods for my taste. Looks like a pseudo race car, or someone's 1/2 mile drag car. All the bits to make it go fast in a straight line, nothing (that I can see) to make it go around corners better.
This car could be a steal, or more likely a money pit. Ya feelin' lucky?

There is going to be a pretty limited market there.

I put a deposit on this car when it was for sale here. Every time i called the owner there would tell me a different story as to why it's for sale. I also noted a different tuner every time i asked who tuned it. He also that it was never dyno'd but somehow made 740whp when it was dyno'd......... LOL needless to say it appears a dealer scooped it up from him. He has a white GTR now but said he was selling to buy a house when i asked. Then again he also told me it was cause his wife doesn't like the car. The title was also not in his name. There ya go !

If it had a built motor and trans ohh yeah that would add value.
