They're located on Bird Road almost directly across the street from the Collection. I've driven by many times and they always seem to have some nice cars outside. But, like with many of the used car guys in the area, sometimes the cars aren't all they seem in pictures. I'd certainly invest in a flight to Miami if you're serious. They're located about 10 minutes from MIA.

He just emailed me. We will see where it goes.

Darren, why didn't you buy your TT there?

Thanks Duane

But the offer sent me made me laugh my butt off. I now know why the car has been there a while. It is a fake GT3 (complete with badge).

That's funny you say that Tim... I was driving this weekend and saw a P-car that looked like my old 00 C2 aero kit car with a GT3 badge on the back.... I'm sure it was not a true GT3...

I guess the main question would be "Why" mis-badge a car...

If it was Yellow,I think that was my old car. I traded it on a Yellow 2003 TT. The guy who bought it took off the carrera badge and put the GT3 badge on. I thought it was a pretty lame thing to do. It was for sale at www.autoquest.com in Fort Myers FL recently. It must have sold again.
BTW, Porsche bought back the tt to avoid Lemon Law proceedings. That brings me to my GT2, Yellow too!

Actually it is a White one. They want 67999 for it and lowballed my car at just 31k.

Oh well they say that the market is soft on 996's there.....except theirs.
