Totalled my 996 last night !Need advice...
Last night I lost control of my 996 C2 trying to avoid a deer and I was traveling at pretty high speeds. The result was me wrapping my car around a palm tree and the car is gone. I can't imagine driving anything else and wondering what you guys think of this 996 for sale ? I am ready to pick it up this weekend if all goes well. He just had the RMS fixed by kinetic racing in SC.

Bottom line you're ok. Things can be replaced. Sorry to hear about your mishap though. The car you are looking at is very clean.

I saw that car when I was looking for mine, looks good. Get a PPI done (Pre Purchase Inspection) from a good Porsche mechanic and if it checks out your good!

I have all my money tied up in work right now so the 997 is a bit out of the question at this moment so the 996 seems to be the most reasonable decision. Thanks for the kind words I am going today to get out any belongings that might be left in the car and say goodbye !
