Leading evidence: 'Replace things' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace things' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

Wow, some people don't know when to leave well enough alone.
IMO the wheels are "ricey", the headlight covers are like something tacky slapped onto the body, and the SS badge is weird and pretentious.
Most of the rest of the car is fine though.
Probably would be a fun ride.
IF you like the basic car, I think most of the ricey add ons could be removed relatively easy. Getting the paint off the wheels would probably be difficult. Interior does not look to have been mucked up.
Emphasis on "most". He killed a factory aero bumper by grafting on 997 turbo turn signal lights. Good luck finding one of those without paying $2k plus.
Might need to repaint and blend in the rear deck possibly depending on how long those emblems been there too.
If that HP number is accurate, that could be a very fast car. If that HP number is accurate on a bone-stock block, it could
temporarily
be a very fast car.

I call BS on the HP. Anyone who claims massive HP increase with serious performance parts will have a dyno sheet in their sales ad.
Whoever buys this car is a very brave man. This looks like a tuner/show car. Engine compartment is crammed beyond belief, that coolant tank job now requires the complete removal of the supercharger.
I would not touch this car.
Wow, not sure where all of the hate is coming from...simple projects like de-badging, clean up the wheels and black-out the grills and you've got a nice looking ride...also surprised at the VF Supercharger doom/gloom as I thought that kit was proven to be reliable???
I'm with you guys in terms of items being able to be reversed.
However, the typical Porsche buyer is gonna want something polished and ready to go with no stories. They're not gonna want to exert the effort and dick around with fixing things. Then you have the psychology of a typical Porsche buyer as well that may perceive the car to be beaten or driven hard based on the mods. You'll also have guys that may have visited these forums that will not only have to worry about the IXX but now but forced induction on top of that. Btw, I'm not one of those peeps but I seriously think the seller has limited the buying pool. Especially for an auto dealership, they should know this.
Alp you are absolutely correct. If you read through the complete ad there are so many misspelled words in there that it makes you think twice. If they're so unprofessional about putting up an ad then they're sales and buying tactics are probably going to be the same. If this was an craigslist ad for an 91 Toyota corolla then no body would care. But when you're going to market the car to specific buyers at least make an effort to do it right.
� don't know why anyone is bitching about or making fun of this car, it's pretty badass and I'll bet it looks incredible in person. Granted, the SS emblem definitely needs to go quickly along with the RUF windshield sticker. However the pros outweigh the cons by a mile. Super low miles, paint looks great, interior looks nearly perfect except for some normal wear on the seats, gorgeous aero package, turbo bumper, BBS wheels that probably look great in person but could always be easily refinished if you don't like them, supercharger, upgraded stereo and NO pumpkins. Debadge the car and it would look great.
Ok, after looking at the wheels a few more times they're definitely NOT growing on me but I still love the car and wheels can easily be changed. If I still lived in California I would at least take the drive to go and see it in person.
I should probably add, I'm not making fun of the car. I love tacos, the food ones anyway. I just, when I saw that car, that color, California, I thought taco delivery, fast, really fast. If a biz concept clicks, you can buy a fleet of supercars. Myself, I even had the thought of making mine an upscale taxi, run that b*tch 24x7, let it earn a stable mate.
UPDATE: bidding was all private bids which seemed shady to begin with and it supposedly sold since there was no reserve at $26k, only to be relisted now with a buy it now price of $34k. Dunno, sales tactic seems a bit shady. You gotta wonder about the car too. Just a warning for those that would rather buy a aftermarket supercharged mk1 car over a factory mk2 turbo model(albeit with more miles) for the same price.
Never make fun of a Pastor's luxury cars you will go to hell!!!!!!
SS stands for sinner salvation in this case, so please, be more educated next time!!!!
Well, he re-listed it. Last auction went to $26,000.00, now BO is $33,000.00.
At $23k-26k I can see the case for this car. However, low $30k figure puts you in the ball park of the higher mileage 996TT.
