996 for sale.

 

Can vouch for the car and the seller.

 

bump!

 

I did most of the mods / work on this car, sold it around 74k miles. To the owner before the current seller.

When I bought it it had a set of old school k16 variants. I did the alpha 28's, intercoolers, etc. etc.

Doesn't look like much has changed except the wrap and the mileage.

 

Perfect timing, I was going to ask how many miles were on the mods, approx 21k?

Any current service records?

 

Yes, along with regular oil changes it has recently had a coolant flush, water pump and belt.

 

FYI- CAR IS NOT AS ADVERTISED.

I've given the seller 4 days to correct his ad which I advised him to do, (which I thought was generous since I'm out so much money) which he has not.

I paid $600. for PPI and a dyno test on this car.

1.) Not a EVOMS GT700 kit. Uses the same turbos & tune, but the turbos were bought used and installed with other, perhaps used components.

2.) Drivers side turbo leaks, shifter area on trans is seeping. Exhaust (again not EVOMS) is dented, crappy welds, missing bolts, cracked lenses, etc., etc. Over all a 5 of 10 interior/exterior.

3.) Was converted to 2wd and the seller said he did not know it was 2wd.

4.) Dyno'ed at 288hp / 306 tq. Obviously something wrong. Seller said must be a loose hose and he was going to take it right back to the shop, fix it and re-dyno at the same shop. Have not heard from him for 3 days.

 

Will concur, under my ownership on pump 91 it made 500hp / 536ftlbs and I have the dyno sheet. Dialed back for obvious fuel limitations of 91.

It was AWD under my ownership.

Exhaust is functional, but those welds were garbage. It's more like a garage-made X-pipe with someones first welding attempt.

The Alpha 28's had 3500 miles on them and I purchased them from a friend who took them off his 996 to go 307x.

It looks like it's been driven hard.

I sold it in 2013 with 78,200 miles for $42,000.

 

Wow. That's a crazy amount of info and things to be going wrong. If it's any number of small issues that could be taken care of, you'd think the seller wouldn't shy away from being upfront.

 

ouch!!! I was seriously talking to seller on this one but ended up buying another one. thank god... Sucks to see. looks like a nice car overall.

 

FYI- Seller did respond that he did not take the car back to shop right away as he said he would, because the clutch went out.

If I had known it was not a true GT700 kit and it was RWD, I would not have spent the money for a PPI, much less dyno time.

I'm sure for the right price something could be done with this car, it's just not as advertised and I felt I should let the community know because the seller is not.

 

thanks for thinking of us 6speeders

 

I get that looking at a car with problems is frustrating.

Not sure if it was changed later but the original ad does say the coupler was removed.

I'm not saying he is in the right but I sold a BMW one time, that literally on the test drive started knocking. It was terrible luck on my part but I surely would not have wanted someone saying I misrepresented it. I had already bought another car so I discounted the price enough to put a motor in.

 

AFTER I posted my original FYI, he changed this ad somewhat and removed the one on Rennlist completely.

His defense is that he did not know it was converted to RWD , And he did not know it was not a true GT700 kit, he just copied the ad that was posted by the PO he bought it from.

So the ad he posted being wrong isn't his responsibility.

I have extensive texts going back and forth between us if anyone really wants to bother.

No reason to beat this horse, just wanted people to know.

 

Ah I see. That does suck sorry man!
