Our take: one of the cleanest modded 996 turbo cars we have seen. Nothing fits quite like OEM, and the modifications here are mainly all OEM-derived (GT3, GT2, and Turbo S parts). Overall great deal for the set up, check it out at 6speedonline here – full gallery at the bottom.

I had this car up for sale in 2012, took it off because I needed it and kept it for 2 more years driving and loving it. Now my car inventory has changed and I am putting it up for sale again.
Price is negotiable.
Trade for a cheap Cayenne, ML or GL with towing package + cash is a possibility.
Accident free car with a clean CA title.
I have owned it for nearly 4 years.
Carfax showed regular service entries when I bought it and brake fluid, clutch fluid and brake rotors looked next to new new when I bought the car so the prior owner(s) didn’t seem to have skipped out on the maintenance.
I’ve done annual oil/filter changes (incl drain of dry sump and turbo drain tanks) and as mentioned below I also replaced the ignition coils and spark plugs prior to having it tuned.

I modded it for road course track days except never installed coilovers, anyway ended up only tracking it once and recorded a 1.23 at Streets of Willow. Then I had to focus my track efforts on an actual racecar and other things so I used this Porsche to commute and a have done a few canyon days and weekend cruises with the wifey.
