Wow! I was having flashbacks watching your video. It was so similar to one I took of a 911 I had years ago! This is a 2.2 with a GLH...

Good lord. I don't know I'd take it for $8k. EVERYTHING on it has 270k on it. :)

I don't know. The 2.2 with the GLH has a certain "Speed Racer's Mach V" sound to it that still makes me smile.

dtw's pictures remind me- a lot of people hate the 996 interior but in black with the full leather I loved it. If you have the option seats they are really comfortable and form-hugging and usually hold up well.

My Boxster had the full leather package and the one mistake I made was leaving it parked out under the sun with the windows up and no sun shade for a few weeks while I was out of town. It was 100 degrees every day and it cooked the dash- the leather started peeling up off the plastic carrier underneath up near the defrost grilles. Ruined the dash. I was so pissed about it.

Black with an aero kit...

The full leather looks great, but the base interior wears like iron. I have Graphite Gray full leather in my current 996 and have the exact same issue with my dash.

Also has Litronics and the GT3 seats. Somebody should jump on this one, OEM Aerokit cars typically sell for a nice premium. $16500 with only 63k is a very nice price.

Nice find. I'm not ready to buy, but if I was I'd buy that.

Jeff 05-07-2014 05:02 AM

Man Lee, That brought back memories. When that GHL found a home on my 87 it really transformed the car. Loved that sound!!! SmileWavy

The 99 will get the Fister mod as soon as my schedule frees up a bit.

Jeff - Did you ever post your affordable 996 here?

I just noticed the "Salvage Title". Was that specified in the original ad or added later? Not such a bargain anymore.

porsche4life 05-08-2014 09:22 AM

I still don't see it saying that? But if would explain the price

JavaBrewer 05-08-2014 09:31 AM

Notice the title tag

Good catch. Now the price seems pretty average.
