Is this white aerokit 996 Carrera a great deal?

Absolutely gorgeous IMO. GT3 wheels, and the white body really look nice together. So for this car, and the rarity of the white, is this car undervalued at this time of year and for the fact it has GT3 parts from Porsche? http://www.pistonheads.com/classifie...-white/1529364

Looks like the car has a white wrap. Look at the door sill picture.

That's a black or grey car, not white. Probably want to go look at it in person. I'd want to know why it's wrapped - are they covering anything up? No clue what british prices are.

Templar, In your recent post, you stated that your budget was $15,000 to $17,000. This car is listed at 14,995 British Pounds. That's nearly $23,000 U.S., significantly beyond your stated budget. Further, it is in central England. Why would you even care about posting about this car? If you are just "window shopping," there are tons of cars listed on EBay Motors and other sites, for you to get some pricing ranges. You also indicated that you were going back to school so that you could get a job, in order to be able to afford a car, and asked some very elementary financial planning questions. Frankly, your posts make no sense to me at all. Ah well.....

I think its so cheap because they put the steering wheel on the wrong side.

False advertising with that GT3 badge on it! Just for that I give it thumbs down!

The car is either wrapped in white or badly painted It is not a 2002 It is not a gt3 It doesn't have gt3 wheels And as Cuda said - it's in the UK.

Lol on so many levels. The euro mk1 GT3 did come with those wheels. He has non projector "GT3" headlights to go along with the theme, lol. Putting GT3 emblem on back of a tiptronic car goes to an all time low(ok maybe if he had a "GT3RSR").

GT3 stickers aside ... $23k isn't to far off. If you could knock them down a bit, I don't know if I love the white or hate it, but I *DO* feel strongly about it. It's a UK car so ... why do we care again?

I call troll. There is no way someone can be this...whatever. -Eric shaking head and muttering, "the damn car is in the UK."

I agree with you. Also, I think Templar just has no idea that the funny little thingy in front of the price is the British pound sign. For your educational benefit and enjoyment: (per Wikipedia)

Well, if you take the guy seriously, money exists only because we believe it does and ultimately that funny little symbol is just a symbol. Maybe it, too doesn't exist. In fact, nothing really exists, right? It's all just an elaborate computer program...choose the red pill!!!! -Eric

It looks like its stock white. Did a search for the word "wrap", and no hits. What makes you think it's wrapped?

Money is man made and I also know it has existed for over 1000 years. It's the fact so many people do not realize money is not physical/tangible, and fighting and killing over money is asinine. Money IS an illusion that ultimately dictates are world and behavior-- unfortunately. Like I have said before Sue, very few can live without money-- and some can, by choice. One minimalist who inspired me, lives on NO money--nothing, nada. He is the one who showed me money only exists now and back then is because more than one person believes in it. If one person had a million dollars, and no one else besides him believes in money, that one million dollars that person has, will bear no value to anyone else.

I am just going to assume you are a troll and move on at this point.

Huh? As stated in the post above, look at the door jamb son. You got quite a bit to learn when buying a used car like this. Aren't you glad there are forums like this?

Actually, no, I do NOT take this Templar guy seriously. A moron. See what I mean??? EVERYONE knows that a "wrap" is a sandwich made with a tortilla. I repeat, a complete moron.

Do you think Porsche paints their cars white with black door jambs?

not that I want to participate to this thread which seems to be going nowhere... but on the topic of money, you have to remember of the history. Money started as a standard good to exchange, easy to transport and not perishable. But originally it was still a good that you would exchange. Precious metals are not precious because we decided they would be. They are precious because a) they are rare and b) they have specific properties. I am always amazed when I think about gold. Centuries ago, nobody knew the conductivity properties of gold and that it would become a key element of the modern world (most of the progress of the last 40 years has been fueled by electronics, and those are here in part thanks to gold). Imagine having lower performance electronics with higher power consumption and a very short lifespan because of corrosion on the internal wire bonding of the chips, that's what you would have without gold sorry for my little rant

A minimalist with a Porsche is like a Vegan with a steak knife.
