For salvage title, you would hope so.

Pay more and get a cheaper one.

You think I would have learned that with my 87 salvage title S...

Had no idea she was selling, don't know how I missed it on AT been looking for months. We've talked before but she thought I didn't like 996's which admittedly I used to but they've so grown on me.

Recently new suspension on it and only 65k on the engine, everything documented and most if not all the work done at the dealership. Pretty killer car.

Gotta be manual, none of that tip shenanigans. I think I've found my new "the one"

Sounds like you now have a better direction. The first ad lost me at "breaks". Yeah - paint that wheel.

LSA 08-01-2013 11:18 AM

Nearly a done deal. Going to the cu tomorrow with her to finalize all the paper work and then it's mine for 21k. Freshly smogged and registered so I don't have to deal with that shenanigans. I drove it yesterday and I still can't stop grinning. Have to wait another whole day http://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...boldyellow.gif

I'm really excited, can't wait. Scott you picked the winner!

LOL, how can you say that?
Engine is quiet and no any wired sound and the breaks are good, The radio is missing, but the wires stay there.
It isn't registered. If it hasn't been registered for several years, that could be really, really 'spensive.

I'm glad he found something better.

Brought it home today http://i.imgur.com/IIE71aL.jpg

Still running around flailing my arms in excitement.

RANDY P 08-05-2013 05:39 PM

Nice score!! well done.

onewhippedpuppy 08-05-2013 07:59 PM

Congrats! I see an Aero kit and the beautiful 5-spoke Carrera wheels, my favorite on a 996. They look great in that gunmetal color too. You done good, but lose the tacky front tag and get some bumper plugs ASAP. Front license plates on a 996 are such a wart on an otherwise clean bumper.

nostatic 08-05-2013 08:07 PM

Ticket for no front plate in CA

LSA 08-06-2013 06:28 AM

Thanks Randy, yeah she chose a killer color when she had the wheels done. Black chrome I think she called it. They look great, different in varying light conditions. Still debating if I just will deal with the front plate or run without it.

Nostatic, you're tellin me. My sister when she had the tdi golf with no front plate while she was parked out doing stuff $80 fix it ticket, brutal.

Did it not have a front plate? If you have AAA they can do the DMV thing for you.

LSA 08-08-2013 06:07 AM

License plate was in the trunk, no big deal. Still all smiles. Went and showed a friend of my dads and porsche mechanic the car and he was impressed with how clean it was said it was a steal at that price. :D

scottmandue 08-08-2013 06:48 AM

Just needs a Charvel strat in the passengers seat and it will be perfect!
:p

LSA 08-08-2013 06:59 AM

Had sales tax not reamed me I'd have probably diven down there already to get it.

weseeeee 08-09-2013 12:24 PM

Congrats, enjoy it!
