hopefully picking up a 99 911

Well I sold my 05 vette a few months ago and decided a I needed a fun car. I put down a deposit a 99 carrera next week. It is oceanic blue with grey leather interior and has 52k on the clock. I got it for under 22k which I feel is a good deal from what I have seen. It just had ppi done and passed with flying colors and comes with extended warranty good til march or 86k miles. It will be my first p car and I'm very excited to pick it up.

Can't wait to get it and drive it back from Chicago. I am reading around the forum trying to decide on how and who to mod it. I've also searched the internet and tpc seems to have a nice set up for turbo and suspension parts. Anybody deal with them. Is also like to add the gt3 kit. Dang already planning stuff and don't even have the car yet.

They are bringing the results of ppi when I meet then but the shop in Chicago gave it a clean bill of health.
They bought it from a Porsche dealership and bought a transferable warranty from them. I'm still gonna.crawl all over the car and under checking for leaks and seals, hoses, and belts. I for got to ask abbout the 60k service as it has 52k on it.

Get some nice wheels when you get the Areo kit. It will really set it off. I did.

that yellow lokos great... side skirts make a world of a difference.

Also, that car looks VERY similiar to a ocean blue that was for sale in Cleveland a while back, i can't find the Craigslist link, so maybe it isnt. IT was blue, with grey, those wheels, and had the 3 spoke steering wheel.
