This is the car I'm looking at, I was baffled as to how a seat could get bastardized like that in only 20mls, owner said he got it like that, the thing that worries me is that it was located in a flood disaster area for two years, car fax is clean but a PPI is a must.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I just spotted this on ebay. It is a 99 996 Champoin special edition. It has some nice features and the article in Excellence magazine was interesting. I love the carbon fiber center section on the taco tail...does anybody know where to buy the CF center section?

I don't get how you could mess up a seat so bad in 20,000 miles. I also don't understand why the seller wouldn't fix it prior to selling the car....oh well, it needs GT3 seats anyway. It will be interesting to see what it sells for. Chad's was gorgeous and had some great mods. I wonder if being a magazine feature car adds anything to the value?

Also wondering why a car like this has not sold in this many weeks, for 33K that is still a nice car, I was going to do GT3 seats anyway.
Hopefully the seller replies to my e-mail so I can get that visual inspection done, has not replied back lately so maybe its sold locally?
I'm guessing that Champion Porsche would know where we could get the CF center section for the taco tail.
Bavorak, the ebay item, still appears to be active. The seller said something about people having trouble with his email. It looks like a beautiful car...but the wear on the seat would be a red flag and his seller approval rating of 95% would also worry me. Good Luck.
THAT's one of the sister car's to mine!!!! We have now found 2 of the 3 that were ordered from Champion. WOWOWOWOWOW!!
RE: the carbon fiber. It was a custom element made by FVD and Champion. when the MkI phased out, they stopped making them. When I had my aero's, I wanted the CF section as well. It is VERY nice. FVD also made an extended version.

I think originally something cut the seat(jean stud etc) and then the constant rubbing getting in an out has worsened it. My 99 was worn in exactly the same spot(not right through though) and it had only 44km's when I got it. The rest of the car looks mint to my eye.
Here is a close-up of the CF section on the taco tail. This is one of my favorite 996 models. GT3 seats & a supercharger and it would be about perfect.
I wouldn't worry about the seat, it can easily get torn like that. It happened in my 964 when I sat in the car with a screwdriver sticking out of my left pocked and cut the leather when I got out of the car.
I was thinking the same thing....it could have been that the owner wore something that really abused the seat right there....maybe a .45 in the ol' waist band for instance.
These cars are awesome....... FYI, I've seen this car on ebay several times over the last few years. White, my favorite color. anyone got some shoe polish?
Eric, I'm glad to see you still have your sense of humor. I'm sorry to read about your continuing saga getting your 996 repaired. My project car budget is gone for a while. I enjoy buying and fixing them up...I just seem to have a problem parting with them.
