Re: Craigslist, ebay, Amazon and other online finds
I just noticed the ad says car has 166,000 miles! Holy Sh!t! I thought all the cars self destructed at 85,000. How can this be true? That has to be a misprint...right?FRUNKenstein wrote: ↑Sun Feb 17, 2019 11:35 am Well, it looks like my old ‘99 C4 aero is up for sale again, but this time the asking price has risen from $16,500 (last summer) to $19,999.

So, I guess a flipper bought it. As a data point, I paid $18,000 for it in 2013 and sold it 2 years, 15,000 miles and a hail damage claim (repaired) later for $15,750. Since I netted over $2,000 on the hail damage claim (thanks to my buddy at “The Dent Team”) and had minimal maintenance costs and sold it without trying, I felt pretty happy about the deal.

Re: Craigslist, ebay, Amazon and other online finds
It being a '99 model is a testament to the build quality and it seems there are a lot of the early model 996 cars with more than 150K+ miles. I wish I could say the same for the mk2 M96 cars. Guess it sucks being Porsche knowing you had a pretty darn good bearing in the '99 model only to shoot yourself in the foot with the single row.32wildbilly wrote: ↑Sun Feb 17, 2019 4:59 pmI just noticed the ad says car has 166,000 miles!

Re: Craigslist, ebay, Amazon and other online finds
Well, my forum friend probably could have bought that car for $15,000 or less last summer, and I would have even delivered it to him for free since my son works right next door to him.32wildbilly wrote: ↑Sun Feb 17, 2019 12:17 pmSo this is the infamous car you were supposed to offer to a forum friend that you didn't...right?FRUNKenstein wrote: ↑Sun Feb 17, 2019 11:35 am Well, it looks like my old ‘99 C4 aero is up for sale again, but this time the asking price has risen from $16,500 (last summer) to $19,999.

OK. I have to object to the way "friend" is being thrown around here.
Here are some suggestions when talking about my relationship with FrunkyMonkey:
adversary
competitor
enemy
foe
opponent
rival
backbiter
betrayer
defiler

Re: Craigslist, ebay, Amazon and other online finds
See! Told you there was still some unresolved hostility over the car. The tension was palatable. It is a pretty car though.

Re: Craigslist, ebay, Amazon and other online finds
Well, another opportunity for my boon companion to lay hands on another black ‘99 aero kit car. This one is located about 1 1/2 hours south of KC, but only about 30 minutes from my mom’s house. So if anyone is seriously interested, I’d make the road trip to see it as I’ll be down that way over the weekend. C2, 6 speed, 130k miles, tan interior with some carbon fiber trim. Asking $15,500.

Re: Craigslist, ebay, Amazon and other online finds
Hmmm... I could definitely throw that interior in the trash for track duty...
Does that front bumper look off to anyone else? The angles for the lower area as they wrap around the sides don't look quite right to me. Maybe it's just angle/lighting though.
