Check out this deal -Ebay Special. Supercharged 997

I saw this and I started looking around the house to see what to sell. Unfortunately I would have to sell all the furniture, clothes and silverware just to make a down payment.

Seems awesome. Excellence Mag cover car and everthing.

Need to find $72K!

Hope a Pelican gets this one.....

Does anyone think that this could have too much HP for a 2WD?

A friend of mine has the Powerkit version with 380-385 HP and it's ridiculously fast.

And the Turbos are all wheel drive and they have less HP than than that.

(Tell me I'm wrong!)

Would love to read the 5 articles that were written about this car. Maybe an issue, but I would imagine like anything, it is how and when you apply the power.

Old 930 were only two wheel drive and tons of power in the '80s. I am sure this is better.

There is no such thing as "too much horsepower."

"still has the remainder of the factory warranty."

I can just imagine what the dealer would say if you had engine problems. LOL. "Ummmmm.....sir.....this car is not exactly stock."

2 new tires with less than 200 miles on them but the PPI shows the tires at 90%. I guess a new set of rear tires every 2000 miles answers the question about whether it has enough power.

Something seems strange when a sellers other feedback items are for woman's purses and perfume. You would like to see some history of similar sales to follow up.

Just looks like an ebayer who decided to sell his car on Ebay. Not an issue. Just need a full PPI with the dealer to see what is still covered under the factory warranty and what the VIN tells you.
