Can the seller return it to stock or close to stock? If so, you might want to negotiate based upon that condition of the car. If not, and you not a fan of many of the aftermarket add-ons walk away from the car, there are plenty for sale right now and there is no sense buying a car that isn't exactly what you want.

I, too, have come from the BMW world... so I don't know the Porsche world all too well. However, one thing I have noticed with premium cars is that an extensive (and expensive) list of mods add nearly zero to the value of a used car and, in some cases, reduce value (unless you find the perfect buyer that wants all the mods you make). My point? Offer what you would if the car was 100% stock.
The responses in that post have been very interesting and informative.

It's not like BMW where modding a car can cost a few K . Customizing a Porsche can cost as much as the car itself in some cases --like mine.

Thanks for your input. If I should offer as if the car was stock, than based on KBB, I'd be down to $50-51K. Not sure the seller is going to go for that. I actually made a seperate post specifically related to this here: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...-used-car.html

If you are not comfortable with some of those mods or the software flash there are many stock black 997S cars and you add mods as you wish.

I agree, as a new owner myself, I found there were many cars (stock) priced very competitively....depends how far from your home turf you are willing to go really....
