Im relatively new. Im not looking to buy as I just purchased a modded 996TT (no-didn't buy on ebay! - Will be delivered in 4 days) BUt I love just scanning the market and seeing whats out there. There's this "well-known" yellow 996TT built by Imagineauto(?) on ebay. Just curious. Seemed cheap to me at $78k. Again, Im relatively new, so if this is an old story, I didn't know about it.

Mileage is fairly high. So it's not completely out of line price-wise, even with the mods (which I'm sure you know bring relatively little to the resale value). Regardless, assuming it's an otherwise clean example, I would still price that car in the low-mid 80's.

That yellow beast was first on sale about a 1.5 years ago, originally listed in the mid $90s if I remember correctly. It was a project car for Evoms 700 package and has gone through a lot of testing. Could be a good buy at the right price.

Not familiar with IA? Good,Bad? Another Hennessy reputation? Or is he supported in this forum so everyone will want to be PC? Just curious. Trying to get my father to join the P-car gang. Does the car have a good rep (hp ratings, performance, etc.?) If I would have found a 997 just a lil lower price than that, I may have gone that direction instead of 996TT. BUt I wanted heavily modded and 996 offered best bang for buck.
Mileage... True high mileage. That explains some of it.

I googled and answered some of my own question. Looks like there is a debate and story out there. But to prevent opening any cans on "personal" opinions on IA or the owner himself... What about the actual car? Anyone know it? Anyone familiar with it recently?
